There are pros and cons to living in the Southern region of the country. For instance, the weather is perhaps the biggest advantage for choosing to live in the South. Because let’s face it, the cold weather can be brutal and causes us to hibernate like bears for much of the season. Besides the weather, the cost of living is a lot lower in the South, which means your living space will be more comfortable. Additionally, there are lots of scenic places in the South and if you’re lucky, the beach is just a short distance away. Of course, there are disadvantages as well and they include hot and humid Summers, limited transportation, severe storms, and so much more. The weather is perhaps one of the most obvious because it can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Personally, I would rather have warmer weather than to have to deal with the brutal cold. Plus, it’s cheaper to keep a house cool than to keep it warm. So, overall, I will pay less money on my energy bill. In the Winter, I only use my HVAC when the weather is lower than 50 degrees outside. Typically, if the temperature is above 50, my house is usually pretty comfortable. So, my HVAC is only used a few times during the colder season. Of course, in the Summer time, that is quite the opposite, as I use my HVAC unit every day to maintain a comfortable living space. I would rather cover the cost of cooling my home in the warmer months than the cost of heating it during colder weather.
