This could be a very interesting summer.
And that has nothing to do with getting vaccinated against the Covid 19 virus.
While I’m thankful to be vaccinated, life is still far from normal in any sense for me. True, the appealingly air conditioned office that I haven’t worked out of in a year will be opening. Even that office will be different. Since the corporation did well without all of us gathered under 1 roof, the corporation has decided to stick with working remotely. This is evident by the fact that they took out a new lease on a much smaller space. I may only be enjoying the new zone controlled Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C for quarterly meeting or something. They aren’t quite sure what they are doing yet. So, I imagine that I’ll be working from the air conditioned comfort of home. Or not. This is what makes this coming summer time so interesting. And not in a fantastic way. The Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C tech told me that the heat pump is on its last legs. He indicated that every one of us will see a spike in cooling costs this summer time plus recommended a updatement. However, I can’t quite afford that just yet. So instead, every one of us are rolling the dice plus hoping the heat pump will make it through the summer. It’s going to be warmer in our house. In an effort to limit the load on the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C equipment, every one of us are going to have to jack the thermostat setting up far higher that every one of us are used to. It seems fitting that after the year every one of us just went through, every one of us have to endure a risky a/c bet. Maybe that new normal will be more defined come fall.
