We are now in the depths of the heart season where I live.
This means that there is a whole lot of Heating & Air Conditioning blowing through our house.
It would run non stop if both of us didn’t take care to at least try to manage the Heating & Air Conditioning kilowatt minutes used. Naturally, both of us all want to feel fantastic & love the Heating & Air Conditioning cooling comfort when it is broiling tepid outside. But, if our home was as cool as both of us wanted it 24/7 then we’d be busting up the household budget that’s a true fact. Thankfully, both of us don’t do that. Yet, late summer season can be a time when it’s easy to let up & allow the kilowatt minutes used to creep up. The two of us try to keep this from happening by sticking to our Heating & Air Conditioning discipline. That means the temps inside the home rise as the heat outside does. Our apartment is never more than 15 degrees cooler than the temperature outside. Sticking to that 1 thing is the most important piece in the overall Heating & Air Conditioning savings strategy. Now that both of us are truly working from an apartment during the pandemic, it would be easy to crank the Heating & Air Conditioning during peak heating minutes. Instead, our partner & I are using fans to trick our skin into thinking the temps are cooler. With that being said, a fan uses less than 1/10nth of the power the Heating & Air Conditioning does. And our Heating & Air Conditioning is legitimately efficient. Our home is also pretty dark during the afternoon in order to keep the direct sunshine heating from effecting the ambient air. It’s legitimately not all that tough but rather something that we simply need to maintain in order to not let the Heating & Air Conditioning costs ruin our budget.
