There’s a lot to be said for living in an older house: They’re sturdy, lovingly-designed and carry with them a charm you don’t always get from modern homes.
But when summer comes, living in an older home isn’t always fun, at least if the house in question doesn’t have ductwork.
That isn’t to say that you’ll have to resign yourself to cooling off with ceiling fans and window units. Read on to learn more about ductless air conditioning.
There aren’t many holidays this time of year.
July 4 has come and gone, Labor Day is weeks away. And let’s not even think about Halloween or Christmas until cooler weather arrives.
For now, we’ll just have to content ourselves with celebrating Air Conditioning Appreciation Days, which run from July 3 to August 15.
And yes, it’s obviously not a major holiday the way Thanksgiving or Valentine’s Day are. But we think it’s worth observing. We often get so focused on the cost of central air conditioning that we forget the benefits of central air and how it’s changed our lives.
You open your electric bill and you get a surprise.
It’s not a good one. Your bill is unexpectedly high.
Or maybe not that unexpectedly. When you think back, you realize there were times when your air conditioner was running but your home somehow felt warmer, not cooler.
As most reliable air conditioning companies will tell you, there are times when a big, powerful AC just isn’t right for your home. While an air conditioning unit that is small can be less expensive than a large unit, that might also not get the job done.
There’s hot, and then there’s too hot.
Many of us look forward to summer’s arrival, but some summer days go past “uncomfortable” to flat-out dangerous, with heat so high that staying outside becomes unadvisable.
We’re writing this on a day so humid that Pennsylvania feels more like Louisiana. Air conditioning is keeping us cool, but the world outside is grey, dreary and sticky.
A few weeks earlier, a different story. Breezy, warm but not too hot, clear blue skies. The ideal summer day. Perfect summer weather like that is hard to come by.
Americans love candles. They’re a multi-billion dollar industry, with entire sections of retail spaces devoted to various candle options.
And it’s easy to see the attraction. With the flick of a match or a lighter, your home can smell like fresh linens, autumn spices or a bouquet of lilacs.
When you bought your house, one of the biggest selling points was the sunroom. And with the warmer months here, you can take full advantage of this space, allowing you to enjoy summer weather while avoiding insects and rain.
You step into a friend’s house for the first time and sneeze.
Then you sneeze again, and again, and again.
When you finally stop sneezing, you ask your friend (through watering eyes), “Do you have a cat?”
Pet allergies can be tough, especially because you don’t need to be near the animal in question for your symptoms to manifest.
Congratulations. You’ve just marked your first decade as a homeowner. You know what kind of care your lawn needs to get through the summer and the best way to keep water out of your basement.
