When it comes to my lifestyle as well as the way we do things in our family, we lean toward the sustainable.
- While both my hubby and I also have good jobs inside the commercial heating as well as air conditioning of buildings downtown, we’re careful with our money.
And we also use part of our income to pay it forward for others. So when it comes to cooling our house, we have some mixed emotions. First, there’s honestly no way that you can live this far south in a home like this as well as not have a/c. For sure, our close home is super slim as well as well insulated. It’s also the type of southern home with high pitched ceilings as well as ceiling fans in every room. Still, the idea of going completely without cooling from the heat pump would be sort of crazy. Of course, it would also be uncomfortable to not have a/c when the rapidly changing temperatures outside stay in the mid to upper 90’s for at least four months. But of course, it’s been done for generations prior to those having residential heating as well as air conditioning. However, my biggest problem is that the a/c process is also balancing the humidity level as well as that mitigates mold as well as mildew growth. Without the a/c process, it’d be potentially unhealthy in our home. And I know that it would stink like a lot of bleach. So, as much as we’d like to be completely sustainable with no heating as well as air conditioning, it just doesn’t make any sense. So instead, we do our actual best to never waste energy for a/c. My buddy and I prep the house, get an a/c tune up as well as then follow strict thermostat settings to save as much energy as possible.
