Whenever I meet folks who have just moved down here, I always like to be welcoming.
This is the way I was raised and is part of our culture.
So welcoming new comers is just something that has always felt right. I’m from here and understand the differences in culture and the difficulties of the climate. Plus, I once moved up north for my job and spent three years up there. While I never got accustomed to having a gas furnace or being stuck inside all Winter, I sure loved the Summers up there. They were the best ever. That’s so not the case here. Sure, we have some of the most amazing weather for 8 months of the year. But the Summer months certainly do test even a native of the area. That’s why I do my very best to help those who are new to these levels of heat and humidity. I’m not one to just go around mansplaining and giving unasked for advice. But when it comes to newbies and the air conditioning, I look for my openings. The best advice for new comers is that less is actually more when it comes to air conditioning. Too often, people new to the region go headlong into cooling comfort from the heat pump too early. So I always suggest only using the air conditioning in spot during the Spring and let your body get used to the heat. That makes the serious heat of Summer less overwhelming and you want just detonate you monthly household budget either. Some folks listen, some folks don’t. And I’ve even seen some folks do a Summer stuck inside the central air conditioning only to hightail it back up north.
