I lived in the northern area of the country for most of my life.
I grew up with long winters plus hot plus cold temperatures below zero.
I was accustomed to a brutal windchill plus lots of snowfall. The air was correctly dry plus caused complications with chapped lips plus static shock. A powerful furnace was essential. Every apartment was equipped with some style of furnace or boiler however undoubtedly few bothered with a/c. The summer time season was most often brief plus frequently cold plus rainy. When a task opportunity gave the occasion to transfer south, I took it. I looked forward to trading my wool sweater for T-shirts plus my heavy boots for sandals. I wasn’t uneasy about the heat. I was really excited to finally have a reason to use a/c. I didn’t realize that the humidity down south is as sizable of a complication as the lack of humidity up north. While the air conditioner in my new apartment did a enjoyable task of pulling heat out of the air plus creating a cooling effect, it couldn’t handle the high moisture levels. An excess of humidity makes the air know tepid plus sticky. It promotes the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria plus other harmful contaminants. I needed a dehumidifier. I started out purchasing a portable model, however I couldn’t keep up with emptying the reservoir. I then called an Heating plus A/C contractor plus had a whole-apartment dehumidifier installed. The component pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through the cooling system, maintaining ideal moisture levels plus creating a much more comfortable home. Plus, it allows myself and others to set the temperature control just a bit higher plus save some money on yearly electric bills.
