We’re lucky that the heat pump takes care of the humidity level as well
Sometimes, I just wish it could stay Christmas.
And it’s not exactly all the Christmas stuff that I mean.
No, it’s more the weather that we enjoy around this time of year. Folks up north are dealing with temperatures that plunge near zero, my heat pump barely even needs to come on. I live in a region where there is not a need for a gas furnace or a boiler in order to stay alive during winter. I can’t imagine what it must be like right now for the folks up north when we are going to have a weekend that is well below zero for them. It will actually be a bit chilly here over Christmas and the heat pump might even kick on for some heating. But our heat pump is really pretty quiet this time of year as the weather is just about perfect. And that’s why I’d like for it to be this way all year round. Of course, that’s not ever going to be the case and before long, the heat pump will be running night and day. While we don’t have to deal with much heating demand due to our mild winter, the summer is a blazing hot one. Our temperatures are consistently in the eighties by April. by June, those temperatures are closer to the hundred degree mark. But the real kicker is the humidity. We’re just lucky that the heat pump can take care of both the heat and humidity. Of course, the heat pump provides the air conditioning that we need in order to manage when it gets hot. But the heat pump cooling process also balances the humidity level in our home so we don’t deal with a bunch of mold and mildew. That’s a great big bonus.
