For most of the country, December means that Wintertide is still undoubtedly much at it’s most potent… Where I live, we’re far enough south to see December as the end of Wintertide as well as a transition over to Spring; I walked out of my apartment where the heat pump has been silent to find pollen covering my car, however this is my cue to start getting real about the coming heat season; Heat as well as humidity aren’t relegated to the traditional summer time weeks around here.
- In fact, as soon as mid May, I’m hearing some of the heat pumps in the city stay on during the day, however both of us tend to wait longer so we get a bit more accustomed to the higher hot as well as cold temperatures.
But for sure, we’re popping the air conditioner on here as well as there in late May. By June, the heat pump is providing air conditioner night as well as day; So it’s this area of the year that I love to get myself more prepared when it comes to saving on air conditioner, after getting the air conditioner tune up, I think having a undoubtedly slender seal on your apartment is the most crucial area of any Heating as well as A/C cost savings strategy. I suppose that I make sure that I’m replacing worn weather stripping every year. The sun just does a total number on that stuff. And it’s essential to keeping the home tight. I also cruise around the exterior of my apartment to be sure that I’m sealing up any gaps as well! Once the home is sealed up tight, I just make sure that I keep the shades drawn during the day. And of course, maintaining temperature control discipline is essential as well. But having a slender apartment is essential to keep the air conditioner costs lower.
