If it’s June in this region, then that sound you’re hearing is a heat pump.
The sound of the heat pump is nearly ubiquitous during the Summer around here, and shoot, there are heat pumps running from March all the way into November providing some level of A/C in this region.
But this time of year is when you will absolutely hear a chorus of central A/C in just about every neighborhood. Those of us who have been around a while know that A/C is essential for managing the Summer heat; Yet, the cost of A/C can get out of hand if you don’t pay attention. For sure, there are things a homeowner can do in order to keep a lid on those cooling costs. I constantly start by making sure that I’m getting the most out of my heat pump. What I mean by that is I try to be sure that I’m maximizing the efficiency of my Heating plus Air Conditioning equipment. That starts with an A/C tune up in the Springtime. The Springtime is also the time where my house begins to acweather conditions to the rising rapidly changing temperatures, then my buddy and I do that by not reaching for the thermostat. Instead, my friend and I wait to entirely crank up the A/C until the rapidly changing temperatures breach the 90 degree mark. At that point, the A/C is pretty much just left on. But by keeping the dwelling warmer during the peak heating hours of the day, my friend and I keep the heat pump from running too much. From there, it’s just being sure to be consistent with the thermostat setting plus wait for October.
