While the hot & cold temperatures haven’t hit their Summer highs, the steep humidity levels have shown up early outside.
This region is pretty infamous for the level of heat & humidity my pal and I get in the Summer. That’s why you don’t see a ton of tourist heading down here like they do in the Winter. But who can blame them? I’d much rather turn my back on snow, ice & a gas boiler to come down here & prefer the best winter season weather ever; Coming down here in the teeth of the Summer would include far too much air conditioning for me, and yet when you’re a native to this region, the humidity is just part of it. Thankfully, the heat pump & the cooling comfort it produces for us in the Summer also takes care of the humidity, then when you reach for the temperature control when the heat pump is cooling mode, it starts the air conditioning process. And this process is started off by moving heat energy from one locale to another, and namely, moving the heat energy out of the home where it is tired through the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C cabinet next to the house. This is why this Heating, Ventilation, & A/C technology is called a heat pump. It’s pumping heat energy either out of the home with the cooling process! Or, it’s pumping heat energy into the home from the ambient air outside the home for heating. As this heat energy moves out, it takes some of the moisture in the air with it. And then, the cooling air that updates that moved out heat further dries out the air to leave crisp, cool indoor air.
