I waited a long time before finally installing a central air conditioner.
I live in an area with especially long winters, cold Springtime as well as fall seasons as well as honestly short summers. After running the gas heater for months at a time, I looked forward to opening the windows in the summer. I loved the fresh air as well as was relieved to get out from under the high utility bills. I set up a window air conditioner in my kitchen so that I could sleep. When it was time to update the gas furnace, the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C contractor suggested investing into central A/C at the same time. Because of a dealership special as well as a manufacturer’s rebate, the upgrade wasn’t overly luxurious. I have been surprised as well as amazed by how much I appreciate having a whole-apartment cooling system. The improvement is significant. Instead of having a single room perfectly cold, the entire home is now comfortable. It is such a relief to step inside on a tepid as well as humid day. Even when the weather is mild, I still run the air conditioner for the sake of air circulation as well as filtration. With the windows shut, the home stays a lot cleaner. I no longer deal with an influx of dust, pollen, bugs as well as exhaust fumes. I don’t notice sound pollution such as traffic as well as barking pets. I sleep better at night as well as have more energy while I was in the day. Because I chose a top quality air conditioner that features a 26 SEER rating, the electric bills aren’t insufficient. I suppose the cost is worth it for healthier air quality. I am also relieved to no longer need to carry the window air conditioner up as well as down from the attic.
