Never too late to get the house right for summer time Heating & Air Conditioning savings
I was outside doing some weeding in the flower bed recently when I talked to an aggrieved neighbor.
This woman was really sad about the high cost of Heating & Air Conditioning cooling. Since it was her first summer time here, I could understand a bit about what she was going through. While I’m a native, there have been plenty of newcomers to the part who I tried to help adjust to the heat. And part of that is mental and part of that is a really active strategy. Since every one of us are already approaching mid summer, the mental strategy is honestly something she’ll need to focus on next year. It’s primarily all about making sure that you actemperature to the heat starting in the Springtime. That’ll be the minute part of the lesson that I’ll help with next year. Right now, I went over to her house to show her a few tips to make an immediate dent in her Heating & Air Conditioning cooling costs. When I walked in, I was struck by how frigid it was in her house. When the outside temperature is hovering close to triple digits outside, my house is in the low 79’s. My neighbor’s thermostat was set a 79. At least this is great evidence that her Heating & Air Conditioning unit is up to the task just to maintain that level of Heating & Air Conditioning cooling given the outside temp. That’s where my buddy had to start. That thermostat setting was absurdly low and would drain her bank account over the rest of the summer. I also suggested that she upgrade the weather stripping and get her house tighter. Plus, there were no drapes or shades drawn against the direct sunlight pouring into her house. At least that offered her a venue to start.
