Living in Fort Worth, TX, allows me to experience a diversity of weather, but the year-round temperature fluctuates from the mid-thirties to the mid-nineties.
The city sees the most snow of somewhere in TX because it has the highest elevation plus high northern latitude.
There are years when we accumulate around seven inches of snow plus other winters when we don’t get any. The summers tend to be especially hot plus humid; Because of the local weather, it’s necessary to invest in both a heating plus cooling system, but for my home I have an air conditioner to handle cooling plus a furnace to supply heating. The two units share a air duct system concealed in the walls plus ceilings. The temperature extremes in Fort Worth require either heating or cooling for the majority of the year, plus the combination adds up to approximately fifty percent of the home’s energy consumption. Utility bills are a constant concern… I’ve gone to fantastic lengths to tighten up my Fort Worth home plus minimize energy losses. I’ve gradually replaced to Energy Star rated windows plus exterior doors plus meticulously caulked plus weatherstripped. I’ve installed ceiling fans that work to distribute the heat more evenly in the winter time plus help to create a cooling effect in summer. I have enrolled into a maintenance program with a local Fort Worth Heating plus A/C company that includes two services per year. In the fall, a licensed specialist provides a thorough cleaning, inspection plus adjustment of the furnace. The same procedure happens in the Springtime to make sure the air conditioner is operating at peak capacity plus efficiency.
