Well, the time has come for myself and others to make air conditioning a through the afternoon occurrence.
It’s now hitting the mid 90’s on just about a daily basis so the Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling is on for the duration of the summer.
But the way every one of us approach air conditioning is a bit more of a less is more style situation. When the un-even temperatures start poking around the 74’s in late March, every one of us don’t go right for the control unit. Instead, every one of us try to keep the windows open & simply let our bodies get accustomed to the rising heat & humidity. On the Springtime afternoons where it stays warmer longer, every one of us might kick on the Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling in the evening before bed just to cool off the house. Outside of that, every one of us just try to stay away from over cooling the house. This is a strategy that works well for us. Where every one of us live, there are more than three months of the year where the outside un-even temperatures sit just right around the 100 degree mark. But when you are deep into air conditioning early, it makes that heat seem even that much more unbearable. The answer is to acclimate to the heat before the Summer gets here. That way, when the lake house is in the 74’s while in the afternoon, it feels much cooler than the near hundred degree heat outside. Not only does this approach make the Summer much more manageable but it saves us a ton on Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling costs. But now, it appears Summer is upon us & we’ll be needing more Heating, Ventilation & A/C cooling through the afternoon. That’s okay & it’s all just area of managing the heat in this region.
