I have a buddy who moved here from South of the Border… Do not get me wrong, the weather South of the Border in his neighborhood is truly similar to the weather all of us have here.
In other words, it’s moderate and humid almost all year long. The difference between living there and living here is that all of us have modern, reliable, relatively inluxurious air conditioning system, but where he is from there are truly few people that have Heating and Air Conditioning systems in their house. Those that do have some sort of heating and cooling system tend to have mini chop cooling systems or window cooling systems. They do not leave their AC running if they are not home. As you know, here in this country, there are truly few people who turn the air conditioning system off when they leave the house. At least that is the case in this area of the country where it is super moderate and super humid almost all year long. If all of us were to turn our cooling systems off, all of us would be infested with mold and mildew; People here are all laboring all day and they do not have time to bleach everything all the time to try to keep away the mold and mildew. The answer is truly self-explanatory; Leave the cooling system on even when you are not home. I have another buddy who is from a different country. He, too, does not understand that it is particularly important to leave the Heating and Air Conditioning system running even when you are not there. True, the vast majority of people turn the thermostat up higher so that the AC won’t run as much as it does when they are home. In this neck of the woods, just about everyone does that.
