Summer air-conditioning
| Sat, 06-19-2004 - 11:20am |
I was visiting a good frind last night...had pizza and ice ceam at the currently unair-conditioned house.....I almost melted! I have a central system in my house and at work so I forget that there are unair-conditioned places besides the great outdoors...!
What is your current air-conitioner situation? Are you one of those people who do not like air-conditioning? Have you decided to cut back or not use it this year due to debt? Have you gone into debt to buy an air-conditioner? What temperature do you keep it at most of the time? Do you go to the mall or the library to cool off? Or stay longer at work?

But, otherwise we have a large (220 volt) a/c that cools the downstairs. I do keep it on a save setting where it cycles on and off. (Every year I hope for a Christmas card from the Met Ed people. It sure feels like I'm the reason for their holiday bonus!).
I don't use an a/c upstairs. Our house is turn of the century and I'm not sure the wiring could handle it if we all had a/c in the bedrooms. So since it can't be all of us, it's none of us. You'd think it would make for horrible sleeping but it hasn't been so bad. Must be the window fans. If it gets too bad we can always camp out downstairs.
All my best,

Well, we are very fortunate in that our utilities are included in our rent.

I feel the same way as you! I think a/c is very overrated. I'm also one of those people who is cold all the time though. The difference between my dh and I is crazy... he'll be in bed sleeping in shorts and a tee, with no covers; and I'll have flannel pj pants on with covers up to my chin! lol We don't have a/c and it is waaaaay down at the bottom of the list of things to get for our home. I don't mind the summer heat at all - in fact I enjoy it - unless it gets REALLY hot. I live in NH though.. I'd probably feel differently if I lived in the Southwest or something!! :o)
AC IS THE BIGGEST BLESSING!!!
We have had the AC on since March and it won't go off until November. We have already hit 100 and well with about 90% humidity as a common factor we need that AC.
Don't need it here but our last home was in the midwest and it was a common thing for the heat index to reach the 100-115 degree mark PLUS the humidity.
