About . . . Heating & Cooling

Getting comfortable begins with temperature.  During the summer, we use Evaporative Coolers.  Yours is set on a thermostat in your hallway.

Coolers

During the summer, we use Evaporative Coolers.  The history on Evaporative Coolers is very interesting and they are remarkably simple.  The system operates on circulating moistened air, which in our arid climate works very well in cooling our homes.

 

Your thermostat is in your hallway.  Please click on the Cooler Instructions button (below).

Winter Heating - by the Room

In October we switch from Evaporative Coolers to our Cadet Softheat baseboard heaters. The thermostat for each room's heater is on the unit.  Set it and leave it.

Bathroom Heaters

In addition to room heaters, we have very special bathroom heaters.  They have both an on-off switch (that lights up when on) and a dial thermostat.  The on-off switch is a button located on the top front of the heater.  The temperature gauge is located on the top of the heater.

Hot water Heaters

In the apartments, you have whole-house electric tankless hot water heater--bathe as long as you like.  In the main house, we are still using a conventional hot water heater.  The conversion to the tankless hot water heater system is coming.

Seasonal Changes

We have great weather here.  Low humidity and four seasons.  Our mild seasons do call for adaptations in our homes.  Click on the Seasons button below, I've noted some of the changes you might value knowing.
