Heating efficiency
Does anyone know a contractor who can do some detective work to figure out why my heat does not circulate into my ground floor front room? I have plugged every possible leak and I think it may be due to improper return venting or something like that.

Also, you can try Keyspan first and see if they offer this service.

How about what type of heating system do you have?

Thanks for the comments. I have a forced air natural gas heating system, which is not ideal because there are no radiators to hold the heat. However, i don't think it is the problem. The problem is a cold spot in the front of the house on the garden floor. Does not seem to be the windows or door, and i insulated the basement ceiling, but that didnt help. Am wondering if it could be related to a blocked vent or something. Someone who knows how to analyze a heating system and how the air circulates would be a great help. I will try Keyspan. Good suggestion.
