Comfort, Humidity & Fall...Well, Football season really!

OK it's Football season Again!! Yea, Fall brings us lots of JOY...Changing leaves, the end of the heat and FOOTBALL
But what does that mean for comfort?
I find myself running in and out of the house more this time of year because the grill is going strong all weekend long!
Who can watch football without a smoky PIG-SICKLE & a cold Beer?
All summer I had control of my humidity (i.e. My Comfort) because the doors stayed closed and the A/C was running, doing its job; if I was watching a baseball game, it did not require me to go outdoors - unless we were actually going to the ballpark.
One caveat, I do have a whole house De-humidifier at my place, which means I'm cheating a little on the comfort, but hey you want to hear what works... right ?  Not what doesn't work...you want that kinda of info just look at the Auburn football team this year!!!  Ha,  War Eagle... talk about "Won't Work".This is the SEC.  "COME ON, MAN"

But Autumn... Now that's a different story.
You gotta eat & keep that BBQ or smoker going...which means TAILGATING can lead to other issues...COMFORT ISSUES
or
discomfort issues if you can't lay off the Brats, Wings, or Lobster Mac!

The point of this entire piece it this:  As the weather cools you have less & less air conditioner run-time, So, You save money on Energy... BUT you give up the control factor for humidity.
You either need A/C running all the time or a De-hue to control the moisture, which helps to keep the man-cave dry & comfortable.

We all know that its not the "Heat" its the "Humidity".
Why do you think that Miami & the South Florida teams play the teams from up North in the early part of the season?  Big discomfort factor!! Right?  Its still humid...

When we add in the greater in & out  traffic because of nicer weather & what happens?... we lose that 'air-conditioned comfort' that we had all summer.

This is, of Course - assuming your house is comfortable to begin with, but that's a different story.**

So, What's the answer... NO football... NO BBQ... BULLS@%#... NO WAY... Not gonna happen.

I say, "get a home performance test & get a de-humidifier"... the "whole house" kind.
Once installed in the system, it will run & pull out the moisture & bring back the comfort...
Something we all need; especially if your guy throw's 3 picks in the first quarter or your team's defense can't stop the run.

** if you have NO COMFORT at your MAN-CAVE to start with... you need a good Indoor Air Quality specialist or you need to stop rooting for the BUCS
