A fifteen-year-old addition that is a perfect family room… however, it is unusable in the coldest days of the winter or hottest days of the summer in this Arlington Heights home.

The heating and air conditioning contractor recommended new equipment to solve the issue with the purchase of a new furnace and air conditioner, roughly $6K. (Not to mention the new even higher heating and cooling bills). No one wants to rip out the ceiling but, when this is the primary space for your family to gather and Dad is the only one hearty enough to watch the Bears Game when it is zero outside, in the family room… It is time to fix the issue!

In this case, the homeowner quickly got approval from his wife to proceed with including her comfort needs despite the dust and mess, this family can now enjoy the family room, reduce their heating and cooling bills and stop the constant need to repaint the ceiling every spring! As for the enjoyment of watching The Bears games, I can only make them comfortable as The Bears endure another losing season.
