While the 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 and humidity we 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 and a gas furnace to come down here and enjoy the best Winter weather ever. Coming down here in the teeth of the Summer would include far too much air conditioning for me. Yet when you’re a native to this region, the humidity is just part of it. Thankfully, the heat pump and the cooling comfort it produces for us in the Summer also takes care of the humidity. When you reach for the thermostat 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 place to another. Namely, moving the heat energy out of the house where it is exhausted through the HVAC cabinet next to the house. This is why this HVAC technology is called a heat pump. It’s pumping heat energy either out of the house with the cooling process. Or, it’s pumping heat energy into the house from the ambient air outside the house 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 replaces that moved out heat further dries out the air to leave crisp, cool indoor air.
