Unfortunately, I was going to need to break down and utilize my indoor heating and cooling system
Waking up in the morning is such a difficult thing to do these days. All of a sudden, the sun seems to be sleeping in until 8 in the morning and my body wants to do the same. I’m not ready for this long the season of perpetual darkness. No, I’m not being dramatic, I’m just talking about so these seasonal change as we slip into the cold winter season. It turns out, fall is a beautiful season around these parts. Is the air temperature dips into a comfortable 60° and you can open your windows for the first time in months. You can actually get by without utilizing any modern heating or cooling equipment for a few weeks. For me, that’s a massive relief because I have been operating my central cooling system for several months straight at that point. I always get so excited about this brief window of time when the outdoor climate is actually comfortable enough to manage the indoor climate. However, this year there was a massive wrench thrown into my fall HVAC break. I woke up one morning and wasn’t feeling my best. It felt like my internal thermostat was being cranked up and down every few moments. I couldn’t decide if I was burning hot or freezing cold, as I shivered and shook in my bed. At that point, I realized that my open windows weren’t going to moderate this fever. Unfortunately, I was going to need to break down and utilize my indoor heating and cooling system. For the next week, I spent every day making trips to the central thermostat so I could adjust the temperature higher or lower. Rather than getting a nice fall break from the energy company, I wound up spending twice as much as usual on my utility bills.
