When people ask me what they can do to lower their energy bills and increase their air quality in their homes I generally tell them one pressing piece of advice, don’t have children.
I know, this isn’twhat people want to hear when they start probing me for air quality control tips or energy efficient compromises that they can make around the house.
However, I can truthfully tell you that the central heating, cooling, and ventilation system you are relying on will last ten times as long if you do not have a handful of rugrats running around the house. First of all, when you have adolescents they automatically require additional heating and cooling expenses. Because there are more bodies in your house, you will suffer from decreased air quality and increased air temperature swings. This is what happens when there are more warm bodies in the property to produce additional heat for your air conditioner to compensate for. In the summers, when children are consistently opening and closing doors they will let out your fancy air conditioned air. Furthermore, I can tell you that adolescents actually prefer to play with control units if they are unattended. You should actually lock your temperature control device if you want to maintain a consistent indoor air temperature program. Lastly, know that you should never leave your children in the presence of air ducts work. They see the expansive metal channels and feel of playgrounds rather than fancy indoor air passageways. I cannot tell you how numerous fancy ductwork repair jobs I have conducted after the air ducts were ripped out of the attic by children. Want high quality air? Keep adolescents out of the picture.
