Monday, April 4th, 2022

Every HVAC system in Bozeman, MT has to deal with a temperature differential. It’s a pretty simple term that we use in this industry to talk about a very specific set of temperatures.

While the temperature differential might not matter for certain homes in the winter, it does for us. Our winters are extremely cold, and we can sometimes rely on a heater to fight temperatures that are almost at zero. This massive temperature differential can impact our home efficiency and our budgets.
