A lake house with balanced humidity is part of residential HVAC cooling
I’m cheerful to live where I do.
This time of year is especially pleasant.
It’s nice to walk outside & not hear the symphony of heat pumps. Normally, that’s what you hear in the neighborhood. For many, the a/c comes on in mid May & stays on until June. I’m not quite that needy when it comes to HVAC cooling. In fact, I do my best to wait as long as possible in the Spring before I hit the HVAC cooling switch. And even then, I try to be sure that the thermostat setting is in the lower 70’s. Getting acclimated to the heat & humidity around here makes it easier for myself and others once the intense summer time heat is with us for at least many weeks. I enjoy to stay outside all year which is why I live here in the first place. So staying inside the HVAC cooling all summer time just certainly isn’t my style. That’s why it’s important for myself and others to get accustomed to the heat so I can still enjoy being outside during the day & the night in summer. However, attempting to get through our summers without any sort of a/c would be folly. I sure wouldn’t want to sleep in a overheated lake house come June & June. But even more importantly, my lake house would not have the humidity balance that comes with a/c. And that would mean certainly being inundated with mold & mildew. That is for sure something I truly don’t want to deal with. I’m truly thankful that I have residential HVAC which both cools my lake house & reduces humidity levels to a truly nice balance.
