It Is not an unusual sight to see my dog hanging out next to the AC vent.
Just about all summer long, in fact, my beautiful girl can be seen soaking up the air-conditioning.
It is true that down here in the South most of us use our air conditioners pretty much the majority of the year. In fact, I have to use the air conditioning 12 months out of the year. That is not every year, of course, but there have been years when it has been 90 degrees outside while I am cooking Christmas dinner. Anyway, my dog is in the same spot right there next to the HVAC vent. This time, though, she is not soaking up the air conditioning. Is soaking up the heating! That’s right, even down here in the South, we are having a pretty cold winter. Granted, it is nothing like what you see on the news up there in Buffalo or wherever, but for us it is very cold. Every night it has been below freezing. Today I see a notice on my computer that says temperatures will be rising, and normally that makes me quite sad. Now, however, seeing that little temperatures will rise notification makes me quite happy. Anyway, my dog is no fool. She knows that the good are oh, with the good indoor air quality, it’s what comes out of the HVAC vents. Whether that means air conditioning or heating makes no difference to her.I normally don’t like to run the forced air heating system very much. I often worry about what it’s going to cost me when the monthly bill comes in. Around here, it seems as if it costs more to run the heater than it does to run the AC. I’m not 100% sure if that’s true or not, but it certainly seems true anyway.
