Good Things to Know
59 Dorchester Street
Some information about the quirks & quarks of our home!
HVAC
-
This home is equipped with an air exchanger which runs year round for fresh and clean interior air.
-
There is a heat pump on the main level which provides heating and cooling. You control the heat pump via the remote adjacent to it. For cooling ensure the mode is set to “cool”. For heat, ensure the mode is set to “heat.” Please use this as your primary source of heat in the cooler months.
-
Heat rads - There are heating units on most of the walls which are controlled from the units themselves. Set them to “On” and then select the level (highest being the warmest).
-
Electric fireplace - Located in the dining room. This can be turned on via the switch on the fireplace itself. Please ensure the fireplace is turned off when not in the home.
-
AC - In the warm months we will have an AC in the window in the attic and a window fan in the master bedroom. To help keep the home cool on really warm days, keep the blinds and windows closed during hot sunny days and set the window fan to move the interior air out during the day and then in the evening set it to bring the outdoor air in.
-
Windows - If you would like to open the windows on warmer days, there are moveable screens set beside each window to keep the bugs out.

Other things to Note

NEIGHBOURS - The house nearest the bank is an Airbnb as well (not Leslie's). If they are ever really loud late at night and you can't get a hold of Leslie, please feel free to call 911 to report a noise disturbance.
