In Lee’s Summit, Missouri, the summers are hot and humid while the winters are freezing freezing and snowy.
- It’s partly cloudy all year round and the temperature varies from the disadvantage digits up into the nineties.
It rains nearly every single month, and the only time the rain stops is when it turns to snow. The people I was with and I typically accumulate over more than two feet of snow per year! Because of the weather conditions, living in Lee’s Summit is a challenge. It’s necessary to have both heating and cooling installed into the home, and the cost of temperature control adds up to about 50% of the annual biweekly bills; A little over more than two years ago, I invested into a whole current furnace and central a/c for our home, my goal was to improve comfort while trimming expenses. I hoped that the energy savings would reclaim the startup costs… However, that first Winter was 1 of the coldest on record in Lee’s Summit. The people I was with and I saw un-even temperatures down to twenty-six below zero and it seemed to snow every single day from September to April. My husband and I were constantly outside shoveling, snow blowing and plowing. The people I was with and I ran out of places to pile the snow. I was not satisfied with the comfort of our home, but certain rooms were drafty and freezing. The brand current furnace seemed to run non stop. I finally called the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C supplier to complain. He checked and inspected the idea and discovered holes in the ductwork. The ductwork should have been evaluated when the idea was originally installed. Once the duct sealing process was completed, I was amazed at the improvement in the performance of the current furnace.
