I never thought I would say this, but my house is too light, beautiful, and airy. Recently, when I moved into my brand new living situation, I was extremely excited at the prospect of having high ceilings and big windows. I’ve never had a large, bright home before in my life, and I was looking forward to the natural mood boost that it would bring. The thing is, I had absolutely no idea how expensive high-ceiling this would be. When I imagined living in this phone, I assumed that it would always be as wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable to reside in as it was on that viewing day. Unfortunately, most of the days in this region are hot and humid. It’s very rare that we have cool, even temperatures such as the day that I visited this house. As such, my experience living in the home was nothing like what I expected. From the day that I moved in, I realized that the ceilings were too high to maintain a comfortable air temperature throughout the house. Because the outdoor climate was always so hot and muggy, it meant I needed to operate my central air conditioning system quite a bit to keep up with the temperature demands. Unfortunately, with such high ceilings in the house, this created a very large volume of air to treat with my cooling system. Although the AC was rated for the correct square footage of the home, it was not prepared to tackle the additional volume. From the first day of summer until the last, I suffered through uneven hot and cold temperatures, high energy bills, and sleepless nights worrying about my bank account.
