In most years, I find myself dreading the arrival of Spring.
The end of the year’s finest weather is still a bummer for me.
But that’s what happens in March when Spring finally gets going. The trees are yellowing up while many people are still shivering in the temperature that necessitates turning on the gas heater or boiler. That means I won’t have to turn on the heat pump until the temperatures and humidity reach an uncomfortable level. This year, I’ve got some brand new tricks up my sleeve when it comes to air conditioning. In an effort to split back on my reliance on the air conditioning system, I’m always on the lookout for new cooling strategies and pieces of advice. When the heat pump runs practically nonstop from June to October every year, you have no choice. However, I have two pieces of heating, ventilation and A/C technology coming out this year that will completely change things around. First, I put in a programmable control unit, however compared to how I’ve been controlling the control machine in the past, I expect to see savings of at least 10-15% thanks to this easy change. In addition, I’m keeping a close eye on that temperature control. This finally exemplifies the preciseness of the smart control unit. In addition, I have thrown in some motorized blinds. An increase in temperature due to peak solar heating will trigger the smart control machine to enter deployment mode. This will eventually replace our haphazard application of solar shades in the past. Therefore, I guess I can save as much as 20% on my air conditioning bills compared to last summer.
