To protect my health, I make sure I take these breaks inside the HVAC cooling and get my water.
I have a fairly big piece of property. This was always my dream when I was growing up in downtown apartments with radiant heating and zero air conditioning. I wanted space. The ability to simply move around without having to accommodate so many other people was all I wanted. It’s such a fortunate circumstance for me. But having a nice house with great, quality heating and air and a bunch of land takes effort. There’s not a lot of time for sitting in the recliner in the air conditioning. Although, I most definitely make time for that stuff. No, I really have plenty to keep me busy. Shoot just mowing the cleared land is a handful. And where we live, just cutting that grass in the summer can be overwhelming. I act much like the farmers around here and get after it at first light. Still, by like 10 in the morning, I’m getting to be crispy crunchy out there. So I do come inside the air conditioning to cool off a bit and rehydrate. The whole thing is the hydration. Too bad it took me so long to learn that fact. To protect my health, I make sure I take these breaks inside the HVAC cooling and get my water. But the HVAC unit is also providing additional health protection by balancing the humidity inside the house. This humidity balance mitigates mold growth which in turn, helps my respiratory system stay healthy. Indoor air quality is just as important, if not more important, than the outside air quality that I enjoy so much. I’m sure thankful for my quality heating and air.
