Saving on Heating and Air Conditioning cooling costs was something that just had to happen.
The first more than one years the people I was with and I were down here, the heat and humidity levels were completely overwhelming. So it felt as though the only recourse was to pour on the air conditioning. It makes sense if you’ve ever experienced the sort of Summer the people I was with and I get this far south. For sure, the Wintertide is worth dealing with the summer. But it’s still a long several weeks where the temperatures outside hover right around the century mark for week after week. But after more than one years, it was time to stop over cooling our home. The Heating and Air Conditioning cooling costs were just outrageous and I simply couldn’t justify them any longer. So this Spring, I talked with the Heating and Air Conditioning professional when he came to do the air conditioning tune-up on the house. This guy is a native of the area and a fantastic Heating and Air Conditioning professional. He’s also a heck of a nice guy. He told me that a fantastic way to start getting accustomed to the heat is by not cranking the Heating and Air Conditioning cooling in the Spring. Then, he directed me to the Heating and Air Conditioning company website where they had a step by step program of basic loft and loft preparation to save money on Heating and Air Conditioning cooling. I followed it exactly and basically just really sealed up the house. But I also put in some solar sun shades to stop the direct sunshine heating in half the house. Yet, it is the thermostat setting that will really tell the tale. We didn’t lean into the Heating and Air Conditioning cooling this Summer so we’re hoping the people I was with and I can keep the thermostat in the low 75’s while the people I was with and I were in the heat of the afternoon this summer.
