So perhaps my friend and I picked the wrong time to transport south! Moving here in the middle of June is for sure one way to get a taste of what Summer will be like for the rest of my life.
But moving here has constantly been the plan.
Still, I’m not going anywhere however the central air conditioner of our modern locale during the afternoon heat plus humidity, just walking to the vehicle turns me into a covered in sweat mess. I think I’m going to have to get one of those remote starter for the car. It would be so nice if I could start the vehicle plus get the air conditioner running a bit before I go somewhere. It literally takes me five minutes to cool the vehicle down before I can leave the driveway. And believe me, that five minutes is a sizzling one even with the air conditioner on max. Yet, I know that my friend and I made the right decision. While this level of Summer heat is going to be strenuous to actemperature to, I’m all for it. The simple fact is that I just couldn’t take anymore winter season weather. Having grown up with all that cold, I was just done. Never again do I want to see or need a gas furnace. While I’m awfully thankful that my friend and I had such enjoyable heating from our gas furnace, I just can’t do that sort of chilly any longer. Now that my friend and I made it to the retirement finish line, I’m sticking with the heat pump for all of my heating plus cooling needs. But from what I understand, there won’t be all that much need for heating in my future. My neighbor says that he doesn’t even turn on the heat pump in the Winter. He has a space furnace that he deploys if it’s a bit freezing in the afternoon.
