Just last week I had to help my parents move down south.
- They are keeping their home up north for the summertime but they just purchased a small condo to stay in during the winter.
Since they are much older now the winters take a toll on them. Packing their car wasn’t bad at all with multiple people helping to stuff boxes in the back of the moving truck. I decided to ride out there and help them unpack. After hours of unpacking I realized that we never put on their air conditioning system. We were dripping with sweat going back and forth from the muggy house and the warm temperatures of outside and it didn’t even cross our minds. I went to their thermostat and saw that everything was off. I thought at least the people that lived in the house before would keep the air conditioning on set to a higher temperature so it would kick on and not keep the house as hot. Plus when I went outside and downstairs to the basement I didn’t realize how different their HVAC system was than from the one that they had installed at home. There was a new climate control technology that was installed. This type of HVAC system is designed to save energy in hot and dry climates. It’s basically a powered whole-house fan, air conditioner that is all integrated under one control system. It is certainly more high-tech than the HVAC system that is at my parents house up north. I’m hoping that they may need a bit more assistance with their new HVAC system by calling a local HVAC technician.
