So instead of going right for the Heating and A/C cooling this Springtime, we left it off and actemperatured to the heat
The mornings of just endless air conditioning have come to a close in our house. This will be our sixth summer time and it’s time that we reined in the Heating and A/C cooling. When we moved from the north, we were super gratified to be trading a gas oil furnace for a heat pump when it came to Heating and A/C heating. My husbandy and I, while both born and raised in the north, were not Winter time people. Sure, it’s nice to have snow at the holidays. It’s a attractive experience and we always had a cozy lake house with the gas oil furnace providing the heating. But aside from that, there just wasn’t much about Winter time that we loved. So giving up on the high cost of Heating and A/C heating was actually pretty easy for us to do. However, as much as we love the weather in the Winter time and having a heat pump, the summer time was something else altogether. For the first several summers, all we knew to do was to throw more Heating and A/C cooling at the heat. It seemed love that was the only way to manage the several weeks of super high heat and humidity. But this year, I’m taking a different angle thanks to a wonderful neighbor who’s a local. He helped myself and others understand that you have to just accept the heat first. And that starts in the Springtime. So instead of going right for the Heating and A/C cooling this Springtime, we left it off and actemperatured to the heat. This summer, I will be instituting much more rigid thermostat control now that we are a bit more accepting of the heat. I imagine that we’ll save more than 25 or 30 percent from the over air conditioning we’ve done the last several years.
