<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 249257, member: 88&quot;]Doing without AC in the south is like doing without heat up in the north. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Our house is very well insulated &amp; we put in the energy saving windows when we built 4 years ago. I also have the wooden blinds which I close across the back of the house in the afternoon during the summer because about 3:30 in the afternoon it will blind you to sit at my white Formica table in the eating area. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>We keep the thermostat set at 77 during the summer &amp; it is quite comfortable. We also have ceiling fans in every room except the dining room &amp; the one bathroom. I put one in the master bath when we built &amp; in the laundry room about 6 months after we moved into the house. I would break someone&#039;s arm off if they tried to take them away from me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie48" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie48" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In fact I just ordered one for the front porch area the other day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The only time we get any kind of breeze down here is if a hurricane or tropical storm is moving around the area &amp; then your usually getting copious amounts of rain so there is no keeping the windows open. We actually average about 10 days a year when the temperature is low enough to open the windows &amp; if it happens during pine pollen time you had better keep them closed unless you want to do a lot of dusting. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
