We live in a region that is not accustomed to temperatures in the 90’s.
Our normal temps in the middle of summer are between 75 and 80 degrees. This summer we have shattered the record books. We have had more days over 90 than in the past and everyone is over it. I know that I find it difficult to become motivated to accomplish much during the day. I know that there are chores to be done and my gardens look like I am intentionally growing weeds but I just don’t want to do anything. If I had air conditioning in the house, I think it would be much better. At least then I could sleep at night and feel more rested to face the day My friends have central air and they seem to be enjoying this time of year much more. They can go outside, work in the yard for a bit, and then go in and relax in the cool air. Because this is normally not a problem, I have never considered installing an air conditioner. Now that we have experienced this, I am going to schedule an appointment to get an estimate for one. Even if we go back to our normal summers next year I will be prepared for those days when I need to cool off. I know that the investment will be well worth it. It will even improve my property value so that when I decide to sell the house I will recoup some of my investment. I only hope that my local HVAC dealer has an opening soon for the appointment.
