HVAC Debate: Central Air Versus a Window Unit
Yep. It’s that time of year again. Summer is just around the corner, and while right now we are basking in the warm sunny rays of spring, letting our bones thaw a little, there is a tiny nugget of dread roosting in the back of our minds.
Summer.
A great time of year, sure, but for those of us who live in the more sultry climates, summer also means humidity, and broiling sun, and dry grass, and stuffy bedrooms, and sweat dripping down our backs and into our waist bands. Lifers in Seattle, or San Francisco, or Portland, Oregon don’t quite understand what all the summertime fuss is about. I certainly didn’t until I spent four years in New England. And I’ll tell ya, when your smooshed into a subway during commuting hours and arrive home with your shirt dripping and briny, the sound of that big window unit pumping away is heavenly music. Angels. Cherubs. Blessed saints. Believe me.
Air conditioning, generally speaking, comes in two forms: central air and air conditioners.
