A lot of my neighbors have been complaining about the summer climate this year.
I understand that it has been oppressively hot and humid but I don’t know what else they would expect.
This has been our normal climate pattern for as long as I can remember. However, it seems like no one is ever content with the air quality outdoors or their HVAC systems indoors. Day after day I hear about horrific air conditioning systems and the low quality indoor air that they are forced to breathe. If you ask me, they are just too obsessed with maintaining the perfect indoor air temperature controls. If they ever actually stopped outside and experienced the natural air temperature I think they might be a little more appreciative of everything they have. The outdoor air quality is going to quickly reset your standards on indoor air temperature control, in my opinion. Whenever my neighbors start complaining to me about the outdoor climate and the condition of their heating, cooling, and ventilation system… I have been recommending new yard work for them. If I mention that their shrubs could use a trimming or their lawn has been a bit too long, it seems to reset their internal thermostat very quickly. Spending time outside in the heat and humidity will immediately make you reconsider how you feel about your indoor air handling control devices. I promise, if you sweat in the sun and stagnant humid air for more than 20 minutes you will not be so bitter about your air conditioning system for the rest of the week.
