I live in the northern area of the country, absolutely near the Canadian border.
The weather is freezing for the majority of the year.
I normally beginning up the oil furnace by the end of October plus keep it running until sometime in May or even May. My heating bills are seriously pricey. It is a huge relief when I can finally shut down the heating plan plus get out from under the huge energy costs. 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 beginning up a central a/c 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 every one of us love many to several months of moderate weather. However the temperature can climb into the nineties with excess humidity. The conditions quickly become warm plus sticky, making it impossible to get comfortable or sleep. I’ve solved the problem with window a/cs. 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 obtained 1 for each of the dining rooms. Despite being light-weight plus small in size, the a/cs are powerful enough to quickly plus really cool down a great sized dining room. I can set the units in the windows, plug them in plus have them running in a matter of hours. I love that each 1 includes a cordless remote that allows temperature adjustment without even getting out of bed. The two of us are able to direct airflow, raise or lower fan speed plus turn the plan on plus off.
