🎙️ The House Whisperer Talks Heating Season, DIY, and Smart Energy Choices
It’s Chuck Worley here—your House Whisperer—and this week’s show was packed with real-deal home assistance tips to get you through the changing seasons in Hampton Roads.
We kicked off with the heating side of life: what to do during no heat calls, no AC calls, and how to stay ahead of the game with yearly maintenance. From gas furnaces with cycling issues, dirty filters, collapsed ductwork, and faulty flame sensors, to the push for energy conservation with heat pumps, heat strips, and smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee—this episode is all about protecting your wallet from those sky-high energy bills.
On the DIY front, we shared some tricks for painting, gutters, spray painting, spray guns, primers, color matching, and why we like working with brands like Sherwin-Williams. Plus, we dove into fireplace upkeep, crawl space encapsulation, spray foam insulation, bathroom vents, condensation issues, and even how the venturi effect plays into airflow at home. And yes—believe it or not—snakes in crawl spaces came up again. That’s Virginia living.
Bottom line: whether it’s energy efficiency, home maintenance, or tackling those DIY projects you’ve been putting off, the House Whisperer is here to guide you every step of the way.
