May is here and so is Springtime. In this part of the country, we’ve been dealing with dustings of pollen on everything outside for 2 or 3 weeks. And I guess I even heard the neighbor’s heat pump running the other afternoon, but then again, those folks hate the heat with a passion. So why they live this far south, I just don’t understand. I mean, if you’re moving here just to sit inside the air conditioner, it seems like a bit of a waste. But to each her own I suppose. That said, this is the time of year that I am dusting off the playbook for saving on air conditioner costs. This is particularly the biggest utility cost I face all year. But it starts now with the Heating as well as A/C strategy I have found to be most effective, unlike my neighbor, my pal and I do not reach for the control machine as soon as the hot and cold temperatures breach the 74 degree mark. Instead my pal and I wait. My associate and I let our bodies acclimate to the rising heat and humidity; Plus, I don’t guess I have seen a more wonderful Springtime somewhere else. Sure, it’s a bit warmer than a lot of other places during the Springtime. But doing separate from air conditioner as much as possible is a pressing factor when it comes to our air conditioner strategy. Once the summer time gets here, the air conditioner is on and the home is sealed up tight. My associate and I also make sure that the blinds are pulled so my pal and I stop any direct sunshine heating. Thanks to being more acclimated to the heat and humidity, my pal and I don’t need to set the control machine all that low. And that saves a ton of cash over four or five months of the worst heat.
