Air Conditioning
Do I Really Need a Home Air Conditioner in Missoula?
With a properly insulated and air sealed home in Missoula, Montana it’s usually possible to keep things cool in summer by simply opening windows at night and closing them during the day. So most homes don’t really need air conditioning here. However there are some some situations when it is a pretty nice thing to have. For example;
When the air gets really smoky during a bad fire season and you can’t open your windows at night.
If you live near a busy street or a bar and, for reasons of air-quality or noise you can’t open your windows at night.
If your home is poorly insulated and air sealed and gets way too hot during the day to be able to cool down quickly at night.
Or if you plan to (or already do) heat your home with a super-efficient heat pump system (either air-to-air or ground source). In this case your system is already capable of providing you with cooling as well as heating so it might be worth taking advantage of this.
For whatever reason, if you think you need air conditioning, call Energetechs first. Not only do we supply, install, repair, and maintain a wide variety of air conditioning equipment, we also have the expert knowledge of building science that will allow us to assess your home or business to determine whether an air conditioner is really the best solution for your particular building. Often we find that the money is better spent on insulation or air sealing or replacement windows to reduce the amount of heat that comes into the building rather than using energy to remove the heat after it is already inside.
