The heat and humidity in summer is unbearable

It would be one thing if all I had to do was deal with the heat of the summertime.

  • But where I live, that just isn’t the way it works.

Nope, I get the full time of summer. The heat stays around the triple digits for a 4 month stretch! All of us also get a full helping of steep, steep humidity levels. It’s almost as though a person could slice a chunk of steamy sizzling air and hold it in their hand. I can’t even imagine what living in this region must have been like before new, modern HVAC. My dad is constantly talking about how his childhood home had nothing but a swamp cooler and some fans. A swamp cooler is an evaporative cooler which cools the air a bit. But, those outdated things had none of the power that a current HVAC component has. Thankfully for us, we don’t have to worry about that. I love our HVAC method. Of course, like most people, we have a heat pump. That thing can actually get the job done. It’s actually the only way I can survive the summertime. But, it’s not just cooling the air in the house. It also is balancing the humidity as it cools. Part of the HVAC cooling process is removing sizzling air and exhausting it outside. When that happens, a good deal of moisture in the air is also sleepy outside. This is what keeps the humidity level balanced inside your home. Without that process all of us would be dealing with a whole lot of mold and mildew.
