I just don’t understand why people leave the air conditioner on in the evening when it’s so nice outside.
It’s hard to believe I’m watching the big hoops tournament again. But here we are in mid-May again, my friend and I. Of course, that’s a good thing because it means I can watch as much basketball as I want. But it also means that the beautiful winter weather is almost over. The days of sleeping on the porch in the morning while wearing a hoodie are officially over. The spring weather is lovely, but it also necessitates a lot of work from the heat pump. I live in an apartment with about 7 other people. And every one of my neighbors is a fan of the air conditioner. And that is why I won’t be having too many more coffees on my deck in the afternoon; unfortunately, the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit is right next to my deck, and listening to five or six heat pumps running at the same time can get a little loud. As the temperatures rise into the 74s, several of my neighbors have already turned on the air conditioner. However, in the evening, temperatures drop to the mid-60s. I just don’t understand why people leave the air conditioner on in the evening when it’s so nice outside. However, I know that a lot of that has to do with how fearful people can be when it comes to the level of heat and humidity down here. So many of the people I live with are not from the area and are still getting used to the heat. I’ve lived here my entire life, so I don’t use the air conditioner as much as my neighbors, but I’m grateful to have residential Heating, Ventilation, and A/C because there’s no way to get through Summer in this region without a nice bit of air conditioning.
