Water Backup:
Ventilation & Insulation

The two most important factors affecting the temperature inside a building are the degree of heat flow in and out of the dwelling and the amount of moisture resulting from condensation. These conditions can be controlled by insulation and proper ventilation. When these conditions are well controlled, less fuel is required for the furnace to warm the building, less chance of ice dams and water backup, and less electricity is required for air conditioners to cool the building in the summer.
