I care about where I live.
This has to do with a variety of reasons.
The town I prefer and the people in it. Life is a bit more slow paced than what I grew up with in a town up north. But I also actually care about the fact that the weather in this region has so much sun in it. It’s actually charming here year round. However, there is a single negative plus that would be the heat of summer. Thankfully, every one of us have good Heating plus A/C equipment to counter the steep temperatures. Our heat pump is good plus has a certainly high SEER number so it’s also just so efficient. But that doesn’t mean every one of us can just allow the a/c to roll all summer time on full blast. That would be both wasteful plus extravagant. So every one of us do some easy things to ensure that every one of us get the most cooling for the least expense. It starts with making sure the temperature control rises with the heat outside. Our modern home stays in the low 77’s during the hottest parts of the day. And of course, keeping the modern home actually tight is important to efficiency as well. But there are other things I like to do doing that will lower the Heating plus A/C cooling costs. Like every one of us use fans to cool off instead of lowering the temperature control. Or, I choose to cook on the grill outside in order to not heat up the house. We’ve even changed out some of the lightbulbs that burn too hot. There are a lot of small ways to make a huge dent in Heating plus A/C cooling costs.
