It’s almost the middle of December and the weather is still climbing into the mid-90s on particular afternoons.
I live in a state where we have mild winters, and it’s something that I am used to.
However, a couple months ago we experienced a freezing cold front that lasted a few weeks. I was sure that the weather had changed for the season, but then it warmed up again. So this unpredictable weather makes it hard to determine if I should use our central air conditioner. According to the heating ventilation and A/C pro, you can stop using your central air conditioner when the temperatures are consistently below 78 degrees, then it’s ok to shut down the cooling system until next season. So, when the temperature remained cool for over seven weeks, I was able to shut down our cooling system, thinking that I wouldn’t need to use it again until the summer. But nature threw myself and others a curveball and the temperature warmed up again, and there were afternoons that felt like both of us were back in the summer months. I was looking forward to turning off our cooling system for good because that would lead to some savings on our energy bill. But now that I am back to using our cooling system, the savings will not show up until next year. Not many people enjoy the colder weather, however because I live in this part of the country I welcome the colder weather with open arms. I just hope that the temperature changes again in the next couple of weeks, but this time I want it to change for good.
