Recently, one of my friends and I went back to one of the small classrooms in the Social Hall at the church. Both of us needed to get a few things, and do a little straightening up. She belongs to a group that has a statue that is housed in the classroom. Both of us decided to just take a look at it, and all of us were horrified to discover that there was mold all along the bottom of the statue. It should not be surprising to us, but it was. Both of us do, after all, live in the south east where it is moderate and humid most of the year. If all of us did not run our air conditioning system at home, there would be mold in our houses. Both of us have lived here a long time and all of us assume the value and importance of a wonderful Heating and Air Conditioning system. Both of us also understand that if it is moderate outside and humid outside, it is necessary to run the AC. It is true that air conditioning system is a form of cooling, but it also helps remove the humidity from the air… A long time ago, cooling systems did not particularly help with humidity truly much, and people would have to buy separate dehumidifiers for their house. Nowadays, it is still possible to get a dehumidifier and just plug it in, but it is much more usual to have a dehumidifier built into the cooling system. Apparently, the pastor of the church does not have an understanding of this. He needs to be told that it is vital that all of us run the AC everyday in those rooms even though all of us are not using them. To him, it legitimately seems wasteful, but if all of us do not run the cooling system, the humidity will be out of control and soon mold and mildew will be running the venue.
