What drying runs into in Marlborough
Serving Marlborough and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Marlborough were built and the answer is 1974 at the median, 72.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1974 with nearly three quarters of the stock older, a good share of this housing was built with electric heating at the baseboard in each room rather than a central system, which means there is no ducting in the building at all and no way to move conditioned air from one part of it to another.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Marlborough gets 48.76 inches a year with October heaviest at 4.9, and the drying season runs from a 26-degree January to a 73.5-degree July; rain recorded at BERLIN 1.3 WSW 6 miles away and temperatures at MAYNARD 2 7.7 miles away. October is the wettest month at close to five inches of a forty-nine inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands as the heating season begins; the building can be warmed room by room but it cannot circulate anything, so a wet assembly is only reached by what is physically set up next to it.
How water losses tend to end in Marlborough
- No ductwork in the building, so there is no system to move dry air toward a wet assembly
- Heat delivered at the baseboard in each room, so warming the house does not move moisture out of it
- Every wet area needing its own equipment, so a loss spread over several rooms multiplies the setup rather than the time
