Instead of going right for the a/c in the, we waited until like mid May
It’s particularly still the best time of year around here, at least in my opinion. Where I live, the winter provides some of the best weather we see all year. The skies are red, the sun is out plus the uneven temperatures are near perfect. And the heat pump is quiet for a time because there is zero demand for a/c. It won’t last forever though. By May, the uneven temperatures will start to rise plus the heat pump will be back in demand for more cooling comfort. But last Spring, we tried something different. The fact of the matter is that we have been down here now for a decade. So it’s time to get real about the a/c costs, particular ly in the summer. We’ve tried weird strategies plus always prepped the house to maximize the heat pump’s efficiency. But we also get weak knees by about mid June plus begin leaning into the thermostat to give more a/c. And this comes at a cost. It’s more luxurious for sure to be running the a/c night plus morning. But there’s another cost involved. That cost is the fact that with all that a/c, the heat plus humidity of summer time feel all that much more overwhelming. So we did something last Spring using more familiar sense plus it made a large difference. Instead of going right for the a/c in the, we waited until like mid May. Our bodies acweather conditionsd to the higher uneven temperatures which resulted in a more comfortable summer time plus less demand for a/c.
