195: Furnace Options, Vapor Barriers and Old Houses

Informações:

Synopsis

Should you buy a high efficiency furnace? Or save the money and install one that’s less efficient? Today we dive into furnace options and tips that might help you when purchasing one.   One of my fans is installing a new tub surround using cement board. He’s using RedGard to waterproof it and wants to know if he should use a vapor barrier behind it.   We talk about his options and what I don’t like about cement board…which is very frustrating.   Many thanks to Johns Manville for sponsoring today’s show.
