This past Winter saw me get the most from Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating
I’m still studying how to live here.
There is honestly a cultural difference along with a geographical & climate difference. The climate is perhaps the most different. The Winter is the focus for sure. And that’s because is seems near never ending to me. The gas gas furnace kicks on in October & can keep heating even into late April or early May. That’s a lot of Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating. Even more so when you have my perspective. Heating during the Winter meant maybe a few cycles of heating from the heat pump in the day. Or perhaps, the heat pump felt great some crisp, cool evenings. But nothing even remotely the same as what I experience now. And to that end, I’m getting much better about mitigating the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating costs. The first year I was hear, the gas gas furnace ran all the time & I truly didn’t even try to control the temperature control. I was simply trying to survive & acclimate to the cold. The next winter, I did better with the temperature control & it showed up in Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating. Still, I wanted to bring those costs down even more. That meant truly preparing the apartment for winter. And that’s all about sealing it up slim to keep the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating in & the chilly out. It took some free time to get that done. I changed out all the weather stripping. The seasoned storm doors were replaced. And the last few single paned windows on the hour floor were replace with double paned windows. I added some insulation & made sure there were no gaps on the exterior of my apartment that weren’t filled in. And I saved a bunch more on Heating, Ventilation, & A/C heating costs this past winter.
