The weather in Tuscaloosa, AL is absolutely the best in the United States… I cherish that I experience a absolutely long summer time season… The winter is short plus not all that intense.
I don’t bother with any hardcore heating equipment.
I get by with a ductless mini split in the living room plus main area of the house. The rest of the time I just focus on a good cooling system. I rely on a high velocity cooling system to keep everything crisp plus cool. The benefits of high velocity air is that the HVAC duct is half the size plus flexible, but for an older household like mine, HVAC duct replacement is absolutely rough on the home. The walls plus ceiling need to be torn down. The framework of my household couldn’t have withstood that, but so instead I had bendy, flexible ducts fitted into the slats… How the AC works is by quicking whipping room to room in my AL home. It can lower the home temperature in minutes rather than hours. I cherish that it also is good at dehumidification. In AL my friend and I have to worry about the intense heat plus the moisture as well. I fight bugs, insects, mold, plus mildew at all times, with the AC going on full power, the dehumidification helps quite a bit. I still have asked around the Tuscaloosa Heating, Ventilation & A/C companies to see if there are separate dehumidifiers that might work even better. I don’t want to deal with moisture concerns anymore. It can affect wood furnishing plus skin too, and did you realize that?
