When you grow up down here, having A/C cooling is just a needed area of the picture.
I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t able to count on quality air conditioning during our very brutal warm season.
Of course, we had used a heat pump to give it all the central air conditioning in our home. My dad was always proud to have the latest when it came to residential Heating & A/C. To this morning, Dad is still proud of his residential Heating & A/C although he lives in a little condo. Of course, he owns the latest in ductless heat pumps where he lives now. Those ductless heating pumps easily get the job done when it comes to cooling off his place. The two of us sat around in that great Heating & A/C cooling not too long ago having a laugh about how weird his father was… Grandfather would come to stay with us when I was little & he had a million stories. Granddad was 1 of the most entertaining people you could ever be around. My dad would even respond to some of the stuff that old man was saying. One thing our dad confirmed as true with the fact that our Granddad never had central air conditioning. In fact I do not suppose he had a residential Heating & A/C unit until he was in his 70s. But our Grandfather grew up on a ranch & was used to scheduling his life around the heat & humidity of warm season. I can still recall him preferring to go out on the porch to catch a breeze in the shade than rest in the central air conditioning of dad’s house.
