I tried to sleep last night without any A/C in my family room to no avail.
I was trying to save cash with my energy consumption, but I ended up staying awake all night from being way too warm.
I need to come up with a solution for this issue because I spent a lot of cash the past couple weeks with my A/C usage. I believe my equipment isn’t so efficient and is using a lot of power to keep me cool in the summer. Tomorrow is October though and the temps will be dropping pretty suddenly so I won’t be needing A/C till next summer. But, I believe the next several weeks will still warrant some kind of temperature control in my room for sleeping. Another option that I heard saves cash is the dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air as well as making it feel cooler in the home, but it won’t make it feel as cold as when you run the AC. I’ll give it a shot tonight and see how I sleep compared to last night. I have a newer heating and A/C unit, but I did run the A/C an awful lot the past couple weeks, which is why my electric bill was sky high yesterday when I opened it. I believe it was double of what it was a year ago while my paycheck stayed the same. I will try to get a part time job at the heating and cooling corp near us as I am a certified heating and A/C rep and could use some extra cash.
