This Summer is going to be different, but granted, I’ve said that before but this time, I’m actually prepared to follow through with some thermostat discipline, however when you live where I do, the Summer is a big dread.
I cherish where I live but it does come with some outright scorching conditions that drag on for months.
I knew this when I moved here and honestly, it’s so worth it. The rest of the year is glorious when it comes to weather conditions and weather. Still, after five Summers, I was still spending far too much on cooling costs. And that’s for sure changing this year. Years prior, I did that home prep to seal up the apartment tight. I’ve typically been consistent about getting the a/c tune ups. And it’s legitimately rare that the shades aren’t pulled to mitigate direct sunlight heating. While all of that is textbook for saving on Heating and Air Conditioning costs, I couldn’t stay committed to thermostat discipline, finally, that’s not going to be the complication this year. That’s because I got logical about a/c finally. The uneven temperatures start to rise in May. And there are nights when I would just flip on the a/c and leave it. While I thought that was sort of a normal thing to do, it was not allowing me to acweather conditions to the rising uneven temperatures. I realized this after talking with a friend who is a native of the region. So this Spring, I left the a/c off and am much more accustomed to higher temps and am leaving the thermostat where it is. So this Summer, I legitimately am going to save on a/c costs.
