If you have ever been in a climate where there is no need for a heater, you will likely remember what it was like to not have to put up with dry air problems.
- I grew up in a climate where it was hot all year long, plus I don’t remember ever turning on the central heating, the two of us used the air conditioning or nothing.
I do remember that it was a nice relief to be able to open the windows during the Wintertide months plus be pretty comfortable, and now, I live a bit farther north, plus I have to say that for at least a few weeks a year, the people I was with and I really do need our heaters. I, however, absolutely do not care for to run the heating system because the dry air friendd with forced air heating causes me all sorts of grief. I almost always get cracked lips in the winter. I go through about a pound of hand lotion every month, plus worst of all, I get headaches from the dry air the heating system puts out. I think the headaches are the result of our sinuses getting dried out while I sleep, plus that dryness is both naturally occurring plus worsened by the artificial heating in our homes. I think this is going to happen every year, so I wait as long as I possibly can to turn on the heater, when the news starts giving freeze warnings plus talking about burst pipes, that is when I think I have to provide in plus just turn on the heater. Maybe this year, I will get a humidifier for our living room.
