Every year I regularly say “this is the hottest Summer ever.” I have been saying this for a long while, since I first moved to this small town! Finally my mind wandered and I asked myself if it was honestly true or not, and did I simply forget how humid and oppressive the hot season weather was every year? Or were the temps absolutely rising? I have never believed in Global Warming, but the whole thought that pollution can impact the temperature is starting to make more sense to me.
I went to Google and learned that the local temps have honestly increased over the last decade… No wonder my AC machine seemed to be getting weaker, because the heat outside kept going up regularly! With that in mind I had a trusted Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment expert come over to inspect my HVAC equipment and give me some pointers on how to handle the rising heat.
To my surprise, the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment expert didn’t give me many pointers about the AC, he was focused on other things. Instead of buying an up-to-date Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system, he suggested getting blackout curtains to keep the sun out, and to invest in extra insulation… According to the expert my AC equipment was in great shape and would last another several years, at least. In order to combat the slowing heating planet I needed to stop the heat exchange that was going on between inside and outside… He also suggested that at night when it was cool and breezy I should turn off the AC equipment for a few hours and open up the place. It gives the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment its needed rest and gets more ventilation in the house.
