Yep. 120 year old house and my AC bill is insanely low. It’s very drafty and has an east facing covered porch on both levels that does a great job with heat mitigation.
Just as a tip I noted in another comment, got into indoor plants over the winter and happened to just like humidity sucking ones. Required a lot of humidifiers during winter, but during the summer those plants just zap humidity from my home when I have my windows open.
I usually like my AC at ~73° but with all the plants I feel perfectly comfortable with the windows open (plus two window fans) up until about 78° indoors and outdoor humidity at 80% - the plants draw down humidity by at least 15%
- wrycoder 4y agoTIL. What kinds of plants suck down humidity?
- cududa 4y agoI have 2 very large monstera deliciosas (require a lot of humidity in winter/ early spring but suck up a ton of humidity this summer), 4 golden pathos in 2 wall mounted baskets near the ceiling around the living room, 2 Hoyas “ceiling mounted” (the chains come down so the planters are about 6 feet off the ground), and a lemon lime pray plant in my dining room ceiling mounted.
