Baking in the summer is a terrible idea at our house
Whenever we try to get any baking done during the summer at our house, it ends up heating up the entire house.
We have tried to just close the door to the kitchen to keep the heat inside that room only, but that just doesn’t ever work.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t work, but I guess we don’t have great insulation or something like that. We could probably stop all the baking altogether, but we just like it too much. It’s much harder to get rid of all of the heat in the summertime than you would think. I hate the fact that I need the air conditioning so much, though. We spend a small fortune during the summer with all of the time that we spend running the aif conditioning in our house. Since we have started up a home baking business and we’re going to be baking even more this summer than usual, I’ve decided that we are going to have to get the HVAC company to come out here and take a look at the situation for us. I know that they would probably be able to give us some good suggestions for lowering the cooling bills this summer. I’m definitely going to ask them whenever they come out here, that’s for sure. I think that we might end up purchasing something called a ductless mini split air conditioning system to put into the kitchen. Maybe we will just close the rest of the house off from the kitchen so the heat from the baking won’t be able to get to it.
