How to keep heat inside the house during winter?
- use long plastic stripe to block the gap from the ground to bottom of the door
- double layer of glass for all windows
- replace the furnace filter every three months
- filters may turn grey/black if not replaced regularly. People with allergies will suffer
($10 per filter, good for three months)
- condo building – they have installed filters as well
- furnace is in the basement (hot air rises)
Air conditioners
- in a house, the AC unit is outside because (to cool air, warm air is produced and it is released outside the house)
- the chemical freon is used to cool the air (same inside the fridge)
- on average, an AC unit lasts for about 15 years ($4000)
- on average, the freon will have to be refilled after 8 to 10 years
- in the past (10+years ago), freon releases CFC – same chemical as in the Styrofoam, damage the ozone layer. It cools quickly
- right now, new AC and cars have non-CFC freon, don’t release CFC into the atmosphere. Cool slowly, and not as cold
