Living in St.

Petersburg, Florida is amazing.

I love that I don’t need to worry about ice, snow or below freezing temperatures. When I lived up north it seemed like I was constantly worrying about heating. I also was focusing a lot of time and energy on snow removal. In St. Petersburg it is all about cooling. I have looked around and found the best kind of air conditioner for living in Florida. I have found that a high velocity air conditioner works best. This does use ductwork but it is half the size. It also isn’t like the traditional metal ducts that are rigid and hard on older homes. With high velocity, the bendy ducts can fit into the slats of an older home without any problems. The ductwork serves as a sleek channel for air conditioning to whip through. It gets its name for how quickly the air moves and how effective it is. The temperature in the house can easily decrease within a few minutes of work. Easy installation, sleek design, and modern features are other benefits to high velocity cooling equipment. I am so glad that I upgraded to this. Having a well working air conditioner in St. Petersburg is a must have. I rely on my air conditioner a vast majority of the year. There are some nights in the 50s that my poor heating system gets a chance to play. More often than not, I just turn off the AC, open the windows and let the natural breeze do its job. I love that I don’t have to deal with the cold anymore.

Springfield, Missouri gets some really cold days.

Our winter season is long, brutal and can easily get below freezing.

Snow isn’t uncommon at all for our area. The summer temperatures do get hot though. We have high eighties for about three months of the year. Due to the weather being severe in both directions, both heating and cooling is necessary to combat it. I have really invested in finding a quality Springfield, MO HVAC business. I rely on this business all year long. I bought HVAC equipment from them, and I get service two times a year. I have the air conditioner inspected in the spring and the heater checked in the fall. I also call them anytime I find myself with a HVAC repair in Missouri on my hand. The last thing I want is to experience an unexpected breakdown during a snowstorm or a heatwave. I make sure to get everything cleaned, oiled, tightened, lubricated, and calibrated early in the season. Doing this gives me peace of mind and also ensures that small repairs are caught before they are big problems. My Springfield HVAC business makes everything very simple. I am a part of a HVAC maintenance program. They set up the appointments and then show up when I need them to. I don’t need to babysit or do anything else. My HVAC equipment runs efficiently and my energy bills are low with seasonal maintenance. If you live in Missouri, maintenance for your heater and air conditioner is a must do.

South Bend, IN has some of the best weather in my opinion.

I love that we get four distinct seasons.

There is a chance of a white Christmas, seeing changing leaves, blooming flowers, and having a hot summer. I enjoy the fact that for three months out of the year, the record high won’t go past 85 degrees. The coldest we can get is the nighttime temperatures being in the 20s. Yes, that is periods of hot and cold, but for the most part the weather is quite moderate. Due to this, I rely on a heat pump system for most of the year. I technically own what is called a hybrid heating system. This combines a ductless heat pump and a gas furnace. For most of the year the heat pump is the one working to achieve whole home temperature control. How the heat pump works is by taking existing heat energy and either pushing or pulling it into the house. It is cleaner, quieter, and better for the environment. On the very cold nights during the winter, the fuel source changes from electric to gas automatically. I don’t have to push a button. The gas furnace fires up and I feel perfectly warm. So for a vast majority of the year I am saving quite a bit of energy. I don’t have to sacrifice comfort. In South Bend you can’t really get by with just a heat pump. Having a supplemental heating source is really a wonderful addition. I love that I don’t have to freeze late at night.

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