It’s almost the middle of December and the weather is still climbing into the mid-80 on certain days.
I live in a state where we have mild Winters, so it’s something that I am used to.
However, a couple months ago, we experienced a cold front that lasted a few weeks. I was sure that the weather had changed for the season, but then it warmed up again. So, this unpredictable weather makes it hard to determine if I should use my central air conditioning. According to the HVAC experts, you can stop using your central air conditioner when the temperatures are consistently below 75 degrees then it’s ok to shut down the A/C until next season. So, when the temperature remained cool for over 3 weeks, I was able to shut down my A/C, thinking that I wouldn’t need to use it again until the Summer. But nature threw me a curveball and the temperature warmed up again. There were days that felt like we were back in the Summer months. I was looking forward to turning off my A/C for good because that would lead to some savings on my energy bill. But now that I am back to using my A/C, the savings will not show up until next year. Not many people enjoy the colder weather, but because I live in this part of the country, I welcome the colder weather with open arms. I just hope that the temperature changes again in the next couple of weeks. But this time, I want it to change for good.
