Basement cold and drafty — Limassol, Limassol
A basement that stays noticeably colder than the rest of the house or has persistent drafts usually points to insulation gaps, air leaks around the rim joist, unsealed foundation cracks, or inadequate HVAC duct coverage. An HVAC technician can assess duct routing and airflow, while a handyman or insulation contractor can seal air leaks and add insulation.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Air conditioning runs effectively year-round in Limassol, not just in summer, so AC failures are disruptive in any season and outright emergencies for short-term rental hosts in July–August (32–38°C). Salt-air corrosion along the dense coastal strip accelerates outdoor condenser degradation. F-Gas certified technicians (EU regulation) are required for refrigerant handling.
