Moving south was a big change for my partner as well as I! My associate and I were accustomed to sub-zero conditions, an excess of snow accumulation as well as relying on the furnace for about eight months of the year.
My associate and I required snow shovels, rock salt as well as ice scrapers! Our wardrobes consisted mainly of heavy jackets.
My associate and I bought a household equipped with central air conditioning as well as no furnace, but the temperature in our current location frequently soars into the triple digits. Our energy bills are still a problem but for opposite reasons, but instead of running the furnace for the majority of the year, we depend on the air conditioning, but up north, we had problems with overly dry air as well as needed to operate a whole-household humidifier. The first summer time we spent in our current home, we kept lowering the temperature control as well as struggling with an unpleasant sticky feeling. There was condensate running down the windows as well as problems with mold as well as mildew growth. I finally realized that we needed to install a whole-household dehumidifier to unfasten the excess moisture. The air conditioning is designed to unfasten heat from the air, not humidity. The dehumidifier allows us to adjust humidity percentages to our preference. The air feels cooler at higher temperatures as well as allows us to raise the temperature control setting. There’s less demand on the air conditioning, as well as we’ve considerably lowered our monthly expenses, but because of the dehumidifier the cooling machine should last longer! Plus, we have fewer complaints with sneezing, coughing as well as headaches. My associate and I feel more productive during the afternoon as well as sleep better at night. The dehumidifier was a nice investment that requires only yearly service as well as operates quietly.
