My child used to live down south. I visited her many times, as well as every time I told her she needed to put heavy drapes up to her dining room windows. I would walk into that room, as well as the sun coming through the wall of windows was blinding. Not only was the sun difficult on the eyup, but it was terribly hot, even with the air conditioner running; She seemed to be clueless to the proposal that the reason for her energy bills going so high was because she didn’t have any drapes up to those windows. With heavy drapes, the dining room would be cooler. If the dining room was cooler from the lack of solar heating, the air conditioner equipment would not be running as much. Instead of the air conditioner equipment needing to be updated in multiple years, with the help of drapes, she could prolong that updatement for an extra 3, 4, or maybe multiple years. I couldn’t suppose it when she told me they could not afford to buy drapes for their dining room. That’s when I asked her how much her energy bill was the previous month. She told me but said it was only because the air-conditioning was running. I shook my head as well as told her that was exactly what I was talking about. The drapes would only cost half as much as her air conditioner bills for 1 month, as well as she would entirely save that much money every month. It took her many months to buy the drapes, as well as many minutes to call as well as tell me I was right about the energy bills as well as the air conditioner unit.
