It’s rather nice to be living off the grid.
- I’ve been living this sort of lifestyle for just more than two decades.
But it’s still consistently funny the first time somebody comes out to my house, granted, I live way out in the wilderness so it’s not like I get a ton of visitors anyway. But it’s consistently funny to see someone’s face when they come into my cottage plus realize that I have residential Heating & Air Conditioning. I suppose they have this idea that I’m going to be some sort of caveman who would out hunting for food plus water. If that were the case I don’t suppose I would make it out here. No, I planned living sustainably out in the wilderness easily carefully. I have a solar array that provides all the electricity that I could possibly need. And the Heating & Air Conditioning technology these days is such that I’m able to use a ductless heat pump for air conditioning. When it comes to heating, I don’t need much help since I have a custom wood stove. But I will say it’s nice when I come house from a trip to be able to flip the ductless heat pump over to heating until I get the fire started. But primarily, I honestly wanted the ductless heat pump simply for the evenings during the summer. I can deal with heat plus humidity during the day with a fan. But at evening, it honestly does make a difference when I have some air conditioning. So I’m awfully thankful that I get to live sustainably plus yet have particular creature comforts like residential Heating & Air Conditioning.
