Lately, the weather has been so hot and humid that my central air conditioning unit has been pushed to its limit.
The last few days, the air conditioning has been running non stop from day till the late evening.
It’s not until the sun goes down that we are able to turn the air conditioning off for a few minutes. Outside of those short breaks, the air conditioner was going non stop. I’ve been prepared to combat the heat in a number of ways. Just a few weeks ago, I had a routine service appointment for my air conditioning system. One of the HVAC technicians from a local heating and cooling company made sure that everything was running smoothly. In addition, I also had a smart thermostat installed. The central air conditioning would shut off in the late evening thanks to the smart control unit. If I had a regular control unit, it truly would have just kept running all hours of the day and night. That would have been way worse than what was going on here, so having the smart control unit turned out to be a worthwhile investment. This is especially true because this heat is unrelenting. The weather forecast is calling for several more weeks of record setting heat and high humidity. It’s a blessing that we have such amazing heating and cooling technology. I don’t know what I would do without my air conditioning and my smart thermostat powering me through this heatwave.
