Owning a cooling idea in the north is love owning a donkey, but it is totally unnecessary, kind of cool and worth mentioning in conversation, then an air conditioning system just isn’t required in the north sadly.
Our weather is basically chilly all year around, and the Summer season is weeks rather than weeks… Summers get to maybe 73 degrees and it is rainy most of the time.
The afternoons also cool down enough where fans and open windows do the task any cooling idea could. The name of the game in the north is heating, however everybody has to own a heater. The un-even temperatures can get into the -20s and the windchill is worse. I remember trick or treating in the snow and hunting for eggs in the snow as well. I remember being chilly in my final semester of college in May. most homes can’t even get by with a single furnace either, but my house uses a gas fireplace in the residing room. It looks pretty and can heat just that single room. The connected office is always frigid cold. I finally splurged and got a ventless furnace so the family room pipes won’t freeze, upstairs I have another furnace that handles all the home offices and lavatorys. Every door needs to be kept opened or the heat doesn’t reach. On top of this, I use a heated mattress pad and blanket. I even have a few space heating systems in the attic for when contractor comes. All of these things laboring together and my beach house can maybe get to 69 degrees. My beach house is pretty airtight, it is just that ocld.
