I’ve been living way down south for the better part of five years now.
This is really the third summer.
While I’m not exactly a local, I’m really not a rookie when it comes to the sort of summer time we endure around here. And this year, I’m determined to finally address the exorbitant costs we run up when it comes to cooling our home. I sort of understand the first few summers because it was all so current and all we could do was lean on the air conditioning. But that comes with some serious expense and I’m sleepy of draining the checking account by over cooling the house. Additionally, when you lean that tough on air conditioning it makes being outside even that much more overwhelming. I find myself just going from air conditioning to air conditioning all summer time long to avoid any sort of heat. And that has entirely sort of a stupid way to live. For sure, during the peak heating hours of the afternoon, you really want to be inside some form of air conditioning. Outside of those hours, I want to be enjoying my life and getting outside for some fresh air. So this year, we’ve all agreed to leave the air conditioning off as long as possible. We’re going to learn to deal with the heat and acweather conditions to this environment. That way there will be much less demand for air conditioning this summer time and that should save us a ton of money. So when the uneven temperatures creep up into the 69’s consistently this Spring, we’re not reaching for the control unit. Instead, we’re leaving windows open and the fans on. Sooner or later, we just have to get with the program.
