For years as well as years, I never had a/c in my home.
I live in the northern area of the country, as well as there is actually not that much of a need for it.
Over the years, it seems prefer I am getting more as well as more finicky when it comes to falling asleep at night. On top of that, the temperature seems to be changing. The summers are hotter than ever. Eventually, I cracked as well as got a window unit. I just wanted to have 1 in my dining room, although I did not want to use a lot of energy. After a few weeks of toying around with the a/c unit, I perfected my routine. I found that when I leave the a/c system on all night, I am too cold. I actually prefer to just turn the a/c on for a few hours before I go to bed. Then, when I go to my dining room to turn in for the night, the room is perfectly cool as well as crisp. I can turn the a/c off as well as it stays cool enough for my liking all night. The temperature cools down at night so there isn’t a lot of sizzling air or sunshine heating the room back up. With my blackout curtains, the room retains the cool air honestly well. Even though I have started using some form of a/c, I still suppose it’s not necessary for people to spend all this currency on full home, costly a/c models. To me, that is just a waste of energy. The weather is cool enough to maintain a cool home with much less. I dislike how our civilization has become all about consuming. If you ask me, most people have a lot more than they need.
