Grilling to save on a/c
It’s so tepid around here in the Summer that my buddy and I prefer mostly chilly sides like salads plus bean salads.
I’m taking it up a notch this Summer when it comes to saving on Heating plus Air Conditioning costs! Where I live the Heating plus Air Conditioning conversation sure isn’t about the heating! In fact, our heat pump basically hibernates for the entire Winter. I feel calling what my buddy and I experience winter season is a bit of a misnomer, however that is the season but, it’s far from the sort of weather traditionally considered Winter, but for us, my buddy and I might yank out the space furnace through the winter season a few times in the morning or something! But when you’re talking Heating plus Air Conditioning in these parts, it’s all about the a/c. I constantly have been right on top of the cooling in our home, but my Mom was the same way inside the central a/c of the property I grew up in. First comes the a/c tune up to maximize the heat pump’s efficiency. Then, I prep the property to preserve a relaxing seal to keep the a/c in. We pull the shades plus I program the digital thermostat. Well this year, I’m going one more. I noticed that every time I cooked dinner last Summer, the heat pump kicked on… So instead of heating up the property with the stove of oven, I’m using the grill for cooking this Summer. It just makes so much sense to me, and really, it’s not that big a deal. It’s so tepid around here in the Summer that my buddy and I prefer mostly chilly sides like salads plus bean salads. That kind of stuff. So any protein that needs to be cooked can be done outside. This should help me hold down the cooling costs even more.
