I grew up in a house with a whole house fan, and no air-conditioning. The fan was great when the temperature went down into the 60's at night, it pulled cool air throughout the entire house and cooled it down quite nicely. It even helped after those scorching hot days when the temperature only dropped to the mid 80's at night, it kept a gentle breeze flowing throughout the house all night. I'm sure it saved my parents hundreds of dollars even back then, and installing one in your house can save you up to 50% on your cooling bills every year or up to 90% if you eliminate conventional air conditioners all together.
An ice dam is a wall of ice that forms at the edge of the roof, usually at the gutters or soffit. When it forms the water then backs up behind the ice dam and creates a pool of water. This pool of water can leak into your home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areasYou�ve heard the old adage, "If it ain�t broke, don�t fix it?" Well that doesn�t apply to your air conditioner any more than it does to your automobile. However, when your system is operating properly, it is easy to forget. Regular maintenance will save you the time money and headaches of premature system failures and major repairs. It will ensure that your system is always working at peak efficiency and help you avoid excessive energy costs.Roof Repairs, Roof Inspections
