I look forward to Summer all year, and in Minneapolis, MN the Summer season is quite short.
It comes almost at the end of June & it is already getting ancient by November.
I don’t even bother with AC in MN. It just doesn’t get moderate enough, and what I do is turn off my unit & open the windows. I care about letting a fresh breeze roll in the house, and did you know that our indoor air quality is 2 to 5 times more polluted than the outdoor air? Isn’t that crazy? Due to that fact I get our heating unit officially serviced. I also have the ductwork cleaned once a year. The moment I don’t need the heater, it gets turned off & I introduce a fresh breeze in the house. Everything smells & feels better. I sprip the bed linens, curtains, & pillowcases & clean them. I then dry them on the clothes line. I rented a carpet cleaner to scrub teh rugs. I get the windows professionally washed & I wax the brick floors. It legitimately makes a difference in how my household feels about being cleaned, most states wouldn’t be able to open their windows like mine. I guess that is a perk to living in Minneapolis. I am able to rely on no cooling. It is almost better this way. It gets quite pricey to rely on heating for most of the year, owning an cooling system would simply be too much, and for about eight weeks I get to appreciate low energy bills, a fresh breeze, & a clean house.
