How well I remember those hot summer days in our house back in the time B.C.A.C. (Before Central Air Conditioning).
You could work up a sweat just sitting there! Your skin stuck to furniture--which was just as well because you didn't feel like getting up and doing anything anyway. You felt like a slug stuck to a hot sidewalk. You felt like a pile of spaghetti that had been under the warming lights too long at the all-you-can-eat buffet.
And then there were the hot, cranky kids who were starting to sound like the AFLAC duck on speed (but who could blame them for being cranky?). Have you tried having quality family time under those conditions?
Sort of makes you wonder how many family arguments across America occur because of the lack of central air. Talk about an energy drain!
Everything has its cost, of course, including central air. But AC is also, to my mind, a wonderful, worthwhile investment in quality of life...and quality of family life.
Which is why I want to remind you, in case you are in the market, that this year you can get a federal tax credit of up to $1,500 for approved, energy-efficient upgrades to your home--and that can include an efficient central air conditioning system.
Check it out. Because the tax credit just might make this the right time for you to move from B.C.A.C. to A.C.A.C.
