I live in the northern section of the country, very near the Canadian border.
The weather is chilly for the majority of the year.
I normally start up the gas furnace by the end of September plus keep it running until sometime in May or even May. My heating bills are harshly fancy. It is a immense relief when I can finally shut down the oil furnace plus get out from under the immense utility bills. I look forward to opening the windows plus airing out the house. The living environment becomes stuffy, stale plus overly dry. I have no desire to start up a central air conditioner plus tighten the house back up. Our summer time weather doesn’t last long enough to warrant the investment into a whole-house cooling system. We’re lucky if the two of us like more than one to several months of boiling weather. However the temperature can climb into the nineties with excess humidity. The conditions hastily become boiling plus sticky, making it impossible to get comfortable or sleep. I’ve solved the complication with window air conditioners. I was able to purchase window cooling units at the local house improvement store on sale for a little over a hundred dollars each. I bought a single for each of the study rooms. Despite being light-weight plus small in size, the air conditioners are powerful enough to hastily plus entirely cool down a fantastic sized study room. I can set the units in the windows, plug them in plus have them running in a matter of hours. I like that each a single includes a cordless remote that allows temperature adjustment without even getting out of bed. We are able to direct airflow, raise or lower fan speed plus turn the system on plus off.
