Our bodies have become accustomed to air conditioning.

I have noticed that the entire world is becoming more dependent on HVAC.

  • Just like eating something until you start to like it, the same thing happens with HVAC.

The more we use HVAC and depend on it, the more we need it. Think of someone who lives in the deep south and visits the northeast during winter. We are walking outside when it is fifty degrees and we only have a sweater on. They are shivering and feeling like they are going to freeze to death. The reverse is for one of us if we go down south. We need more air conditioning because our bodies aren’t used to the heating. I remember how my Uncle Bill would turn off the air conditioning when the temperatures were in the nineties. He turned on the noisiest fan I have ever heard. Within five minutes, the house was cool and we forgot about the noise. He put the fan on for five minutes every couple of hours and along with the ceiling fans, he never needed air conditioning. My daughter bought a house she had thought about letting go because it didn’t have air conditioning. I told her the house was a steal and she could easily put in a couple window air conditioners until she was able to afford to install an air conditioning unit. She wasn’t too happy with this, but she agreed. She told me she wouldn’t wait long before installing central HVAC. I wasn’t sure she was going to wait at all since she had saved so much on the price of the house.
