Moving south was a sizable change for my husband plus I.
We’d lived our entire lives in the northeastern part of the country until just a couple of years ago.
Out of necessity, my friend and I consistently purchased four-wheel-drive vehicles plus had a full wardrobe of sweaters. My associate and I owned heavy boots, wool coats, gloves, ice scrapers plus snow shovels. My associate and I sad about sub zero temperatures, chilly water pipes, snow removal, icy roads plus overly dry air. Our new location doesn’t even require a boiler for the home. Our yard consists of sand, plus my friend and I have palm trees in the garden. My associate and I now are more anxious with sunblock, abrupt thunderstorms plus troubles with excess humidity. The a/c operates for approximately eight months per year. The temperature always soars into the triple digits, plus our electric bills are a drain on the budget. We’ve figured out that lowering the control machine setting is not the answer to ideal comfort. Over-cooling the home doesn’t solve the problem of too much moisture in the air. It simply adds to demands on the a/c, raises our yearly expenses plus increases the risk of requiring repairs. My associate and I initially tried portable dehumidifiers. My associate and I found that the reservoir needed to be emptying consistently, plus there wasn’t much improvement in our air quality. My associate and I still had condensate running down the window pains plus mold growth. My associate and I now have a whole-home dehumidifier that is incorporated right into the cooling machine plus works to pull moisture out of the air before it’s sent into the living space. The machine requires only annual service, operates almost silently plus has made a immense improvement in comfort.
