My sibling invited me to spend the night inside his off-grid apartment a few times, but I am yet to take him up on that invitation
My sibling finally decided to make the leap plus live off-grid. This is something that he has been talking about for years. He loves the idea of living outside of the town away from the hum plus buzz of everyday life. He is also a minimalist who believes that my buddy and I don’t need much to survive. While I am not against a minimalist lifestyle, it is something that I would have to get used to. After all, there are particular luxuries that I have had for most of my life that I am not willing to give up. One such luxury is central air conditioning. When I believe about living off-grid that’s the first thing that pops into my mind – no a/c. While discussing off-grid living with my sibling, he did mention that some of the homes are equipped with air conditioning. And though it’s not a full Heating plus A/C unit, some homes do have particularly comfortable climate control. For instance, he installed a ductless mini split cooling system inside his off-grid home. He powers it using solar panels, which he said runs the cooling system well even on the hottest of mornings! Not that I don’t feel my sibling, however my worst fear is to be stuck inside one of these off-grid houses without a working cooling system. It’s just one of those luxuries that I need to have for comfort. My sibling invited me to spend the night inside his off-grid apartment a few times, but I am yet to take him up on that invitation. Perhaps, I will wait until the weather gets a bit cooler outside, where my buddy and I won’t need the cooling system to remain comfortable inside his off-grid home.
quality heating and cooling
