Lately, I have been trying to save currency & I was amazed at how much of the air conditioning I have been using. I believe it’s not definitely something you think about that much, but when I easily focused our attention solely on our heating & cooling system, I realized how much of it I was easily using. I had our cooling system on almost 24/7 in the summertime & I had the heating component on almost 24/7 on in the winter, and not only was this definitely bad for our AC & oil furnace, but it was burning through our electricity bills! So, in an attempt to keep our bills down, I decided I was going to try to find alternate methods to keeping myself cool. Some of the methods I used were our mini battery operated handheld fan, wet washcloths & opening windows to allow a cooling breeze to enter our home. Admittedly, while it was enough to get myself and others by, I was not triumphant. The handheld fan did easily little unless it was directly in front of your face, the washcloths became boiling way too swiftly & opening the windows allowed bugs in our home, some of which were annoyed wasps. I knew this wasn’t going to work, so I decided to only use our cooling system component for parts of the day, & only a couple of hours at the time. I combined the alternative methods of keeping myself cool with the actual cooling system, & this seemed to make a nice middle ground. Now I wasn’t burning all of our currency, but I wasn’t overheating either.
