The summer time weather in our local section does not last various weeks. There are those years when the whole season is cold plus rainy. At other times, the temperature climbs into the high eighties with excessive humidity. After the super long, chilly cold plus snowy winters, I am always sad to open up the windows plus bring fresh air into the house. I am enthusiastic to shut off the furnace plus avoid especially high energy bills for a little while. I have no desire to close the lake house back up plus rely on a central system. My family spends most of our time outdoors. We barbecue on the patio, swim in the pool plus prefer the warm weather plus sunshine. There’s no need to keep the whole lake house perfectly cool. We need the bedrooms to be comfortable for sleeping. The ideal solution for us is window systems. I was able to buy window cooling units at the local condo improvement store at a reasonable price. The units are compact, lightweight plus self-explanatory to install into the windows. Each family member is able to adjust the temperature in their bedroom to personal preference! Despite the small size, the systems supply reasonable cool air to supply ideal comfort levels. They are surprisingly energy efficient. Since both of us only operate the units at night, the cost on the utility bill is minimal. I like that each model includes a wireless remote that allows us to raise or lower temperature plus adjust fan speed without even getting out of bed. I sleep so much better with the system running.
