Logically, easing up on the load we put on our heat pump in the Summer was a no brainer, but it still took us many years of living here to particularly get drastic about reducing the a/c costs, and i don’t know but I particularly rationalized what I was spending on a/c for the last few years because it’s just so dang hot! Coming from a region where many houses don’t even have a/c, I wasn’t prepared for this level of heat.
But then again, there’s particularly no way to prepare to endure this sort o heat… You particularly just have to experience the Summer months in this region before you can particularly understand what it take to manage July through June; When we bought our house, I’m glad the realtor was so firm about getting the sort of upgraded Heating, Ventilation and A/C technology that we have… The apartment we are in comes with some of the actually latest when it comes to residential Heating, Ventilation and A/C.
I can’t even imagine what it would have cost me had we not had such efficient Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment; Not having to deal with high heating costs sort of also played into our home leaning into too much a/c. But this year, we adopted a logical approach to the cooling costs, my associate and I left the a/c off as much as possible until the temperatures hit the 90’s. That’s so we could acweather conditions to the heat better in addition to that means we need less a/c. That adjustment has led us to keeping particularly fine thermostat setting discipline thus far this Summer, and I’m aiming to slash hundreds if not a thousand dollars off our a/c bill over the entire Summer.
