Some homes have the cooling unit running non stop

We are wrapping up another summer time in this part of the world and that thing you hear is a collective sigh.

Most folks in this region are pretty pleased when the calendar turns to September because that generally means the deep heat is over.

And with it, the HVAC cooling becomes less and less prevalent. I feel for people whose homes are so air conditioned that the central cooling system is running non-stop. But these are the same people who tend to hide from the heat all summer. By and large, those folks are also not native to the area or haven’t been around here all that long. Most people I feel aren’t willing to pay the equivalent of a nice, new car payment each month just for HVAC cooling. But trust me, there are several people who do just this. And I find that it’s a shame and a waste of resources. I feel that people should have the freedom to do whatever they want to do with their air conditioning. It’s just a bit wasteful and hard on HVAC equipment to have it running 24 hours a day, 7 day a week. Honestly, it doesn’t even have to be this way if you just accept the heat. The more you try to avoid the heat with air conditioning, the more lavish it is and the waste of resources goes way up. All it takes is not turning on the air conditioning in the spring immediately. Simply acclimating a bit to warmer hot temperatures in the house allows for a actually sensible thermostat setting throughout the summer.
