Blume Construction

Dear Blume Construction:

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the quality of
home that you have built for us. With that, I have a story to
tell. Today, when I got up, the temperature outside was -13
with a wind chill of around -30. The high temperature here
today was -3. Per our thermostat setting, the temperature in
the house was 70 degrees. At 7:30 a.m., the thermostat rolls
back to 60 degrees while we are at work and nobody is
home. I have been home and working in the basement, so I
can hear the furnace each time it runs and have been paying
attention to it. I know this is hard to believe, but the furnace
did not run one time all day! At 4:00 p.m., it started running to
ramp up the temperature to 70 for when everyone gets home
around 5:00. I went upstairs to see what the temperature in
the house was at the time. It was an unbelievable 64 degrees.
So from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., with below zero
temperatures and windy all day, our house lost 6 degrees of
temperature. It is no wonder the homes you build are given
the Government 5 Star + rating for energy efficiency. I realize
that energy efficiency pays off every day, but on a day like
today with a temperature difference between inside and
outside of around 70 degrees and to only lose 6 degrees in 8
1/2 hours is a testament to the quality and energy efficiency
of the home. Thanks again,

Rick Tieken
