I try to be a nice neighbor.
But I’m also not one to offer advice that wasn’t asked for.
I hate when people do that to me so I do my best not to do that sort of thing to others, however, I chop that rule sometimes when it comes to a/c in addition to newbies to the region. I’ve just seen far too many people get blasted by the heat in addition to humidity of Summer down here in addition to bail on the region. It’s too cool a part of the country for that to happen. But I can also understand that if you haven’t experienced four months of extreme heat in addition to humidity, it can seem like a deal breaker. So whenever there is an opening in a conversation with people who are modern to the area, I try to talk about the heat. For sure, my associate and I are all fortunate to have residential Heating in addition to A/C in addition to the cooling comfort that comes with a/c. At the same time, too much a/c can make the heat seem worse. And that sort of a/c demand gets absolutely extravagant. So I like to impart some wisdom from an aged native to the region. The first thing I suggest is to get an a/c tune up early in the Spring. This ensures that the heat pump is ready for the large load to come. And it maximizes the efficiency of the heat pump. After that, leave the a/c off as much as possible until mid May. Believe it or not, this works. My nice friend and I get more accustomed to the higher temperatures which makes the Summer not so overwhelming. And this approach greatly reduces the demand for a/c in addition to saves a bunch of currency.
