Whole-home heating in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, heating systems run for months at a time (IECC zone 6 at the coldest), so weaknesses in ducts and controls cost real money. A leaky duct run in an unheated attic loses the most heat when the attic is coldest, which in New Hampshire is most of the winter.
Common heating fuels here: heating oil, propane, natural gas, wood. Fuel-burning systems dominate, so controls, ducts and airflow are where most whole-home heating problems show up.
Long winters and many homes on oil or propane make fuel delivery and burner tune-ups part of the season. A whole-home check covers the thermostat, the heat source, ducts and returns, so the fix reaches the rooms that are actually cold.
