I never would have thought that December could be one of my favorite times of year.
That’s because where I grew up, December & January were brutal when it came to cold.
I could hardly leave the home & all the heating from the gas furnace. Luckily, I went to school in the south & ended up getting a task down here after I graduated. So I’ve been enjoying these attractive winters for a long time now. The weather is easily nice this time of year where I live. It doesn’t get a whole lot worse than maybe the mid forties at night & I can deal with that. The heat pump hardly even comes on throughout the winter. I can enjoy this weather for another couple of months before the hot & cold temperatures begin to rise again. Springtime arrives early around here & that comes with an increase in temperature. So the cooling system comes on much sooner down here than it does where I used to live. That also means that Springtime cleaning comes earlier as well. I don’t know if it’s just tradition or what but, I easily do like to deep scrub the home at the beginning of Springtime. And part of that deep scrub is having the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C professionals come out & do the HVAC duct cleaning & HVAC duct resealing. I like to get this done just about every year. It easily does improve the indoor air quality & control the dust. On top of that, making sure that the HVAC duct is completely sealed maximizes the efficiency of the heat pump. And our heat pump will be running to supply cooling in our cabin up to 8 months of the year. So that makes a big difference in cooling system costs as well keeping our indoor air quality good.
