It’s a sort of tipping point time of year really.
It’s still very much a punch in the mouth sort of summer day.
Being the last week of August, you can just about mark that one down every year. The HVAC cooling demand is still at its annual peak. So it’s not like I’m winding up the big celebration dance. There still some heat season left. Still, it won’t be long before I might even crack a window late in the evening just to feel that breeze. Wow, that’s still hard to fathom given what the high is going to be tomorrow. It’ll be hovering around the century mark with high humidity. Again, you can mark that in pen for last week in August. But soon, not only will the demand for air conditioning lessen. The HVAC cooling demand will ultimately evaporate. And in its place, there will be just about perfect weather. Once we get deep into September, the following 8 months of weather just can’t be beat. The heat pump finally gets a well deserved break. I always joke with the HVAC technician that the heating maintenance in the fall is more like a rub down for a tired heat pump. We don’t get much call for heating during our winter. There are plenty of stretches where you might want to wear a hoodie outside. But the heat pump stays pretty quiet. And this is just the best winter I could even dream up. Plus it on lasts a couple months before it gets warm and perfect again. I’ll take a summer full of HVAC cooling for a shot at that.
