There’s nothing like a chilly polar vortex to bring attention to key elements around the home. Being prepared for Mother Nature in the winter can make the difference between enjoying a toasty warm environment in sub-zero temperatures, or spending a lot more than necessary on heating bills, as well as putting an aging furnace at risk for failure. If you want to survive the polar vortex, as well as keep your home cooler in the summer, then it’s time to review all your home’s essential components that determine its level of preparedness for Michigan’s extreme temperatures.<\/p>\n

Polar Vortex to Record Highs \"Windows<\/h2>\n

Let’s face it. Michiganders know that outdoor temperatures can go from a bone-chilling -15\u00b0F to a relatively comfortable 45\u00b0F, within the span of 24 hours. Those homes that are not properly prepared for Michigan’s weather extremes, at best, are at risk for hefty heating bills. In addition, homes are that are not properly weatherized put additional strain on a home’s furnace and during times of extreme weather, furnace failure is extremely risky.<\/p>\n

Of course, Michigan is known for its hot, humid summer temps as well. Older windows are not as efficient as new window models, thus allowing hot, humid air to enter through cracks and openings around the window frame. For those who have central air, their unit has to work a lot harder to keep the home cool and comfortable. Those without central air, well, older windows means another summer of hot, humid misery.<\/p>\n
