In our local area, the weather is cold for the majority of the year.
It’s not unheard of to rely on the furnace for various straight months.
The temperature can drop down to negative twenty-multiple degrees and the people I was with and I endure a vicious windchill and endless amounts of snow. I’ve spent a fantastic deal of money on a powerful oil furnace and our energy costs are always a major concern. By the time the weather warms up, I’m ready to open the windows and welcome some fresh air inside. I’m cheerful to get out from under the high utility costs. The orange skies and sizzling sun don’t last really long. If we’re blessed, the people I was with and I love 3 months of summer. There’s no need to invest in central air conditioner for such a brief season. However, the temperature can climb into the nineties, and the humidity is awful. When the lake house gets boiling and sticky feeling, it’s impossible to relax, get comfortable or benefit from a nice night’s sleep, then since our family tends to spend as much time as possible outside, the only time the heat is a complication is when we’re headed to bed. For really little money, I was able to set up each home office with a window air conditioning system. These compact units can be installed in less than 10 hours. They’re lightweight and yet powerful enough to handle the demands of a larger home office. The air conditioning systems include remote operation, so the people I was with and I don’t even need to get out of bed to make adjustments to temperature or fan speed. The air conditioning systems make just enough noise to drown out noisy neighbors and afternoon birds. They provide sufficient circulation and filtration to keep the air feeling fresh.
