We are under a tropical storm warning.
I’ve lived through many tropical storms and hurricanes and you would think it would be no big deal.
The problem is, the tropical storms and hurricanes that I have lived through in the past were in a wealthy town better prepared for that kind of weather. The town I live in now doesn’t get severe weather, and is not prepared for flooding and power outages. I’m really not as concerned about flooding as I am about power outages. I can cook easily enough on the grill for a few days, but, I do not like going without air conditioning. Although the temperatures will only be in the middle to high eighties, the humidity will be terrible. And in about two days, the mosquitos will be terrible, too. Experience tells me this. In the past, after a tropical storm or hurricane, we’ve gone days without electricity, but, many stores and restaurants with electricity were open, and we would spend time in them, enjoying the cool air conditioning and cold drinks. I never appreciated air conditioning and cold drinks as much as I did after a few days without electricity in the middle of summer in the south. The meteorologists are predicting extensive power outages in this area. I really hope it doesn’t take long to restore it. To me, humidity is worse than high temperatures. Although it’s only in the eighties here right now, the humidity is already close to ninety-five percent, so, I am enjoying my air conditioning while I have it.

I remember when we were hit by a hurricane about seven years ago.
Our electricity was out for ten days.
Of course, those living in the wealthier areas of town had their electricity back on almost immediately, but, we poor folks had to wait. It was horrible. The temperatures stayed around the low to middle nineties, which we were used to, but, the humidity was unbearable. And, it felt like that hurricane took all the breeze with it. Because we were in the neglected side of town, our drainage system wasn’t as good as it was in the wealthier areas, and, after a few days, the mosquitoes were unbearable! It’s not like we could sit in our homes with the doors closed. It was way too hot. And, most of us in that area didn’t have the luxury of screened doors or screened in porches. I actually went to my sister’s house and borrowed my infant nephew so that my neighbor would feel bad enough to hook us up to his generator and we could run our fans, at least. I couldn’t wait for our power to come back on so that we could run our air conditioner. It was so humid and the bugs were so awful, I still cringe thinking about it. It took ten long days before our power was restored. We had to wait for equipment to be brought down from up North. Boy, were we grateful to have our air conditioning back!

I grew up in a tropical climate, so, when I moved eight hours north, I didn’t expect the summers to be as hot.
Boy, was I wrong! When I moved here, it was because I was looking for a small town that was still in the south.
My old home town had just gotten too big for my tastes and I wanted a safe place to raise my children. I brought the kids up here a few months before my husband joined us, and rented us a rather nice little three bedroom mobile home with central heat and air conditioning for a really good price. Then, the heat wave came. Every day, the temperatures went up to over a hundred and five degrees, the heat index ranged between one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty, and even my central air conditioning was useless. I went to my landlady’s house to complain, and her place was just as hot as mine. I went to my sister’s house on the other side of town. She had window air conditioners in every room, and even her house was unbearably hot. I did manage to find a way to keep us cool. The tiny middle bedroom in my mobile home would actually stay pretty cool if I ran the A/C on full blast and kept the door closed, so, we spent about a week in that room. I worked the overnight shift at a local restaurant, and, when I got home with the kids in the morning, we got food, drinks, toys and books and the kids and I would stay in that room and enjoy the cool air conditioning while I dozed. At times I felt bad keeping the kids in that little room, but, they didn’t seem to mind. It seemed it was the only place in town to stay cool.

I grew up in a tropical area where it gets below sixty degrees maybe twice a year. Then, my home town got too big for my tastes, so, I moved my family eight hours north. I still live in a part of the US considered the deep south, so, I really didn’t expect to be too affected by cold weather. Boy, was I wrong. It gets cold here, and I discovered that I don’t like the cold at all. I am renting a house that has no heat. We use little safety space heaters during the winter, and they really aren’t very effective when the temperatures go down to the thirties and twenties. There are too many cold spots in the house. When we finally buy a home here, I am definitely choosing a house with an HVAC unit already installed, or I will have a ductless mini-split air conditioning and heating system installed. Last year, I finally decided to upgrade our space heaters to a nice large one that looks like a fireplace. I love it. It’s portable, but, we keep it in the living room. It does a pretty good job of heating up the living areas and the bedrooms during the day, when the bedroom doors are open. But, unfortunately, we still need to use the little ineffective space heaters at night. I think, until we find a house to buy, I will invest in a heating blanket, because I certainly do not like the cold at all.
a/c install
I am really grateful that I did research on modern air conditioning and heating systems before my husband and I began our hunt for a new home.
Most of the houses in my little one horse town are older and don’t offer the comforts found in an HVAC system.
However, we live in the South, and a good source of air conditioning is very important to me. I’m not fond of window units, and was unsure about whether ductwork could even be installed in an older home. I was afraid that we would need to eliminate any house we looked at if it did not have an HVAC unit. I was also unaware that HVAC systems must be replaced every ten or fifteen years. That’s another thing I hadn’t taken into consideration when looking at houses. Much to my relief, my research showed me that an HVAC unit in a home we may purchase is not an absolute necessity. I discovered some ductless mini-split systems that offer both air conditioning and heat. Most are rather attractive and many can be remote control operated. Some even purify the air. They appear to be easy to install, although, of course, I will hire a technician to do it. My husband may be handy around the house, but letting him install it may lead to disaster and that is not a chance I want to take. Doing my research and learning about the ductless mini-split air conditioning and heating system opened a lot of doors for us (literally) and I don’t think I’ve ever had such an appreciation of modern technology. I’ve learned to do my research.

We are under a tropical storm warning.
I’ve lived through several tropical storms plus hurricanes plus you would think it would be no immense deal. The problem is, the tropical storms plus hurricanes that I have lived through in the past were in a wealthy neighborhood better prepared for that kind of weather. The neighborhood I live in now doesn’t get extreme weather, plus is not prepared for flooding plus power outages. I’m genuinely not as distraught about flooding as I am about power outages. I can cook legitimately enough on the grill for a few mornings, but, I do not like going without air conditioner. Although the temperatures will only be in the middle to high eighties, the humidity will be terrible. And in about two mornings, the mosquitos will be terrible, too. Experience tells me this. In the past, after a tropical storm or hurricane, we’ve gone mornings without electricity, but, several stores plus eating establishments with electricity were open, plus my buddy and I would spend time in them, enjoying the cool air conditioner plus freezing drinks. I never enjoyed air conditioner plus freezing drinks as much as I did after a few mornings without electricity in the middle of Summer in the south. The meteorologists are predicting extensive power outages in this area. I genuinely hope it doesn’t take long to restore it. To me, humidity is worse than high temperatures. Although it’s only in the eighties here right now, the humidity is already close to ninety-five percent, so, I am enjoying my air conditioner while I have it.

I grew up in a tropical area where it gets below sixty degrees maybe twice a year.
Then, my dwelling neighborhood got too immense for my tastes, so, I moved my family eight hours north.
I still live in a part of the US considered the deep south, so, I genuinely didn’t expect to be too affected by freezing weather. Boy, was I wrong. It gets freezing here, plus I discovered that I don’t like the freezing at all. I am renting a dwelling that has no heat. My associate and I use little safety space heating systems while in the winter, plus they genuinely aren’t legitimately effective when the temperatures go down to the thirties plus twenties. There are too several freezing spots in the house; When my buddy and I finally buy a dwelling here, I am definitely choosing a dwelling with an HVAC component already installed, or I will have a ductless mini-split air conditioner plus heater installed! Last year, I finally decided to upgrade our space heating systems to a nice immense one that looks like a fireplace. I adore it. It’s portable, but, my buddy and I keep it in the living room. It does a pretty fine task of heating up the living areas plus the living rooms while in the afternoon, when the living room doors are open. But, unluckyly, my buddy and I still need to use the little ineffective space heating systems at night. I think, until my buddy and I find a dwelling to buy, I will invest in a heating blanket, because I legitimately do not like the freezing at all.
Tired of being Cold
Summer in the South can be unbearably hot and humid, at least for some people, but, my associate and I appreciate the heat, as long as my associate and I have cool air conditioner to return to; Our summers are spent swimming in lakes, at the beach, a friends pool, or in the local swimming hole! We also appreciate caneoing the river, fishing the streams, hiking the trails, barbecuing with friends and family, playing frisbee in the park, playing interests and all sorts of summer time fun that makes us hot, sweaty, and often sunburned.
We don’t have a problem with the heat, as long as my associate and I know that when the fun is over, my associate and I can go house to a good shower and a cool air conditioned house.
We usually keep the control machine set on seventy-six degrees and keep our ceiling fans on high, but, my associate and I will usually turn the control machine down to seventy before a afternoon of fun in the sun, so that my associate and I know it will be nice and cool when my associate and I get home. We make sure my associate and I have our Heating in addition to Air Conditioning machine ran tests on properly to keep us comfortable. We learned a hard lesson when, while in our second year of not having it ran tests on, the Heating in addition to Air Conditioning got sick. We are grateful a certified supplier was able to service it before it died. I will never neglect my air conditioner machine again and am so grateful that my associate and I have such a healthy, energy efficient unit.

I cherish it. It’s portable, but, my good friend and I keep it in the family room.
