Even though I was born in the Northeast, I have spent the vast majority of our life in the Southeast, however when I was just a child going into the first or second grade… Our mother moved our whole family down to the Southeastern portion of the country, however both of us went from a place that has snow in the Wintertide as well as attractive falling leaves in the fall to a state that has basically 1 season… That 1 season can be divided into three sections, though.
Those three sections are hot, hotter, as well as Hell on Earth. When I was that age as well as the two of us first moved here, the two of us did not have any sort of a/c in the house, however although it is illegal to even build a beach house without A/C now in our whole state, back then it was correct not to have a/c. Because of the lack of cooling devices, our family has gained easy ways to stay cool, as nowadays when the two of us all have Central heating as well as cooling heating and A/C… The two of us can still use these easy ways to save on our cooling bill each month. First of all, plant things that will give shade to your house! Some people are scared to death to have trees anywhere near their house, however trust me, having shade is worth the risk of having a limb fall on your house. Secondly, take cool showers, but if you take a cool shower in the night, don’t dry your hair, as well as kneel under a ceiling fan, you can literally set your a/c thermostat 4 or 5 degrees higher without ever getting hot. This will also save you energy as well as cash. Thirdly, do something about your windows. Whether you choose blackout curtains or film on your windows, do something to keep the Sun from the layering into the house. All of these simple things will help you save a bundle on your central cooling Bill. Trust me, I definitely know.
