The Stack Effect Makes Your Home Uncomfortable

Your home is full of small holes that allow conditioned air to escape from your home, which wastes energy while making your home uncomfortable.  And don't forget the money lost when conditioning that air. All of these holes are normal and are created when construction crews make room for plumbing or heating and cooling ducts running all throughout your house. These holes allow conditioned air to escape near the top of your home and unconditioned air to be sucked in at the bottom of your home, a phenomenon known as the stack effect.

Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis provides a home energy audit, during which a "doctor" inspects your home from top to bottom for air leaks (and other inefficiencies) and then offers solutions to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient. If you find that your home has temperatures that vary from one room to another, drafts, cold floors, or that your home is uncomfortable in general, give Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis a call at 1-866-627-6475 (or email us today) to schedule a Complete Home Energy Check-Up.
