In my local area, the Summers don’t last all that long.
We’re lucky if we get to prefer several weeks of mildly warm weather, with orange skies & sunshine.
For that brief period, the high temperatures & excessive humidity levels can make for an boiling, sticky & uncomfortable home. The two of us can get by with a window cooling system & box fans, but I’d rather have a central cooling system. I’ve done my homework, & there’s a lot of advanced cooling tech on the modern market. Today’s cooling systems achieve up to 26 SEER & offer energy saving features such as zone control, sophisticated dehumidification capacity & adaptable-speed operation. I’d undoubtedly love to be able to close up all the windows against the influx of bugs, pollen, dust, exhaust fumes & noise pollution. I know that my house would stay cleaner. Plus, the cooling plan would filter out airborne contaminants. I wouldn’t need to vacuum and dust so often, & my whole family would benefit from healthier air quality. I would like the ability to simply adjust the thermostat to cool down the entire house. I am convinced I’d sleep better at night. Sadly, central air conditioner is rather high-priced. I’ve been saving up for the purchase price & costs of an upgrade, but other things keep taking priority. Because of a problem with my transmission, I depleted all of my savings for a down payment on a modern car. I recently needed to substitute the washing device, dryer, & boiling water heater. I’ve already had a professional Heating, Ventilation and A/C supplier give me a free estimate on a modern cooling system. I’ve considered taking out a home improvement loan to cover the costs, although I really hate making payments. However, while I’m saving up money, I’m also living without the air conditioner.
