I\u2019m very thankful to enjoy these winters where I live.<\/p>\n
When I hear about the historic cold that keeps hammering my neighbors far to the north, I feel just that much luckier.<\/b> <\/p>\n
I can only imagine that with those deep arctic blasts, there are millions of gas furnaces pumping out heating non-stop. I simply can\u2019t imagine dealing with that sort of cold. So I definitely salute those folks and what they deal with. Of course, we get hammered with intense heat and humidity during the summer months. And that can end up being tough for sure. But I can\u2019t imagine that it\u2019s as tough as living through the harsh winters up north. While we get plenty of heat and humidity in this region, we can also count on plenty of air conditioning. I think I\u2019d rather be hot with air conditioning from a heat pump than cold with a gas furnace. Still, if it weren\u2019t for the HVAC technology in the heat pump, summer would be brutal. Of course, the heat pump produces the air conditioning that provides cooling comfort to our homes all summer. Yet, the cooling process goes a step further. Thanks to the heat pump, the humidity levels in our homes are balanced properly. The act of removing heat energy from the house and replacing it with cooling air reduces the level of moisture in the air. And that means I don\u2019t have to spend all summer cleaning up mold and mildew. High heat and humidity are just the thing for mold and mildew to proliferate and cause a myriad of problems. <\/p>\n
