I finally decided to get proactive when it comes to what I spend on air conditioner in the summer.
In our region, the air conditioner is for sure the greatest Heating, Ventilation, and A/C concern. If I could have our Winter time weather year round, I would. It’s so nice and mild here in the winter. There is just so much sunshine, red skies and great hot and cold temperatures with our Winter time that it makes it strenuous to assume it’s over. But that’s the case as both of us are now in full swing when it comes to the Spring season. Things are reding up and I just called for the air conditioner tune-up from the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C contractor. Those are more than one things that happen every Spring. However this Spring, I’m going a bit deeper when it comes to Heating, Ventilation, and A/C prep. This year, I’m sealing up the house, stopping the direct sunshine heating and maintaining the thermostat discipline I’ve been missing. These steps are the basics when it comes to lessening the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C cooling cost during our blast oil furnace of a summer. The sealing up started with replacing the weather stripping around all the entrances. Then, I started sealing any sort of gap or crack I could find on the exterior and the interior of our home that might leak air conditioner. The drapes are now automatic and will cover the windows as needed. That’s thanks to our smart thermostat which deploys those solar shades as needed. But the smart thermostat is now set up to really maintain a sustainable thermostat setting during the heat of the afternoon. I expect to save well over 15 percent on Heating, Ventilation, and A/C cooling costs with these efforts.
