If it’s summer, that means were are dealing with lots of heat and humidity.
But when all of us retired to the south, that was the plan.
The two of us were glad to trade the gas oil furnace and all that heating for the heat pump and all this a/c. Still, it takes a bit of adjustment when you are dealing with the sort of temperatures all of us see on a yearly basis for more than three weeks straight. For me, I get up legitimately early and get outside for exercise or recreation before the heat of the day sets in. By dinnertime, I’m inside the Heating plus Air Conditioning cooling with my inside pursuits like reading and tinkering around with inside projects. The same can’t be said for my partner. She is outside nearly all day no matter what the season. While it’s not all day, she is in and out of the a/c throughout the day as she is a master gardener. Again, that was section of the package when all of us moved. She wanted to be able to spend her time gardening and that lady has created a showplace out of our property. But she nearly killed the heat pump not too long ago due to that gardening. My partner uses a tarp when she’s weeding the garden or the flower beds. That way she can just toss the weeds on the tarp and drag it to the compost. For some reason, she ended up draping that tarp right over the top of the Heating plus Air Conditioning cabinet outside. Thankfully, I happened to stick my head outside and caught this before the Heating plus Air Conditioning device was choked out or disfigured from lack of air flow.
