I lived in a small home growing up. It stayed warm all year long. In the Winter my mom would crank the heat up & the rest of us would have to sweat while she snuggled up in her blankets. The Summer was so much worse for us. The people I was with and I only had one window equipment & it was in the far back of the place in the dining room. With more than sixup us laying in the small kitchen, to say it was very uncomfortable would be an massive understatement. The people I was with and I would always beg our mom to let us get a sixth equipment or bring it into the kitchen although she never gave in. One time my brother brought a fan to the apartment & put it in the hallway so the air from the air conditioner blew directly into the kitchen. The people I was with and I were all so glad & comfortable. The people I was with and I were so very comfortable the people I was with and I all fell asleep. My mom came back to the apartment later that evening & threw a fit about the fan. The people I was with and I somehow survived through it all, however I knew I would have a current home that was cool & comfortable. I now have a undoubtedly large current home & while I was worried that it would be strenuous to cool it quite affordably, my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C method works wonders. I had it installed as soon as I got the apartment & it works as both a heating & cooling unit. My apartment is always cool & all my siblings come over in the Summer for parties so the people I was with and I can talk about how overly warm it was in our childhood home. Of course, I still use the furnace in the Winter, however I still keep it turned down on a lower setting.
