There is just so many changes that have happened in just a year.
It’s difficult to know that my friend and I are headed into our second Springtime in this house.
But at least, I have a much better understanding of how to get the cooling comfort my friend and I need without immense utility bills. This was a lesson I learned toward the end of last Springtime. My partner as well as I have never lived somewhere however in the city. That meant living in apartments with varying states of HVAC, and normally, we had have radiant heating for the winter time as well as then put in window air conditionings during the summer. This worked however it wasn’t entirely ideal. My friend and I moved out of the city as well as onto a 20 acre plot of land last year. But my friend and I easily did not know much about how to go about the heating as well as cooling of our new house. Since my friend and I did not have any neighbors for the first time in our lives, my friend and I did not feel like it made any sense to put up window coverings. My friend and I enjoyed having the views as well as having all this privacy however that all changed once my friend and I got into May. It gets easily hot here pretty quick as well as I had no idea the effect of direct sunlight heating on the efficiency of an HVAC unit. But let me tell you, it’s pretty drastic. I thought there was something wrong with the HVAC equipment so I called the HVAC business. The HVAC equipment was brand new so there wasn’t a problem with it. It was a problem with us. Now my friend and I have solar shades that mitigate the direct sunlight heating as well as our utility bills are quite reasonable these nights.
