So the Springtime is suddenly turning into summer.

But where the two of us live, that’s not the worst thing ever.

Our summers aren’t the blistering heat device that our neighbors to the south endure. While the two of us do need some air conditioner, it’s nothing on the order of what those folks have to deal with. I guess that’s sort of a positive when it comes to this region. Our summers can get tepid for 8 or 10 weeks. But the air conditioner rarely has to run at night as the temperatures fall significantly once the sunlight goes down. I’ve visited friends and family down south in the summer time and that heat pump is running night and day to provide the necessary Heating plus A/C cooling. So I guess the two of us should count our blessings. Yet, the two of us have to deal with a Winter that folks down south just don’t deal with at all. And it can get particularly luxurious as Heating plus A/C heating costs just continue to rise. So last fall, I did some Winter prep on the beach house for the first time ever and it made a particularly big difference. Really, it wasn’t all that taxing and I should have been doing this for years. Prior to last fall, my Winter prep consisted of calling the Heating plus A/C company to get them out to do the heating repair on the gas gas furnace. That was it. While that heating repair is indeed substantial, what I did this fall made such a much greater difference when it came to saving on Heating plus A/C heating costs. Sealing up the beach house and keeping some temperature control discipline saved us nearly 20 percent on heating costs over the previous year.
