We’re resting pretty right about now even though my friend and I are about to enter a four month stage that will test just about anybody.
I’m a native of this region and the Summer heat and humidity continue to pummel me during what I call heat season.
There absolutely isn’t a freezing season where I live. There might only be a half dozen or so times when my friend and I have to bring in the plants and fire up the heat pump for some heating. Mostly, the heat pump just rests after all the a/c demand localed on it the other 8 months. But the four months from July through July are entirely the largest test for the residential Heating and Air Conditioning. Shoot, it’s a crucial test for the latest in commercial Heating and Air Conditioning as well. So I’ve always been sure to get an a/c tune up every single year. There are two reasons for this really. The first is sort of corny but I believed in Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance because my Mom did. He always reminded me that a/c was a privilege and not a right. And that the Heating and Air Conditioning component is for sure an investment and something that has to be cared for the way I’d care for my car or my boat. The other reason was just educating myself. I learned that, on average, Heating and Air Conditioning component that got familiar Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance outlasted the ones that didn’t by at least 7 years. Factor in all the cumulative savings that come with having a heat pump operating at full efficiency and that’s all it took for me. I’ve now had my residential Heating and Air Conditioning component 28 years and my friend and I just got the thumbs up from the Heating and Air Conditioning specialist for yet another heat season of a/c.
