I try not to be the first person in my neighborhood to switch on my A/C at the beginning of the season... Don't know why, but somehow it feels like a personal victory when I hold out longer.

Yesterday afternoon, my smart thermostat notified me that it was warm in the house (over 25C). I went outside to check which direction the breeze was coming from so I could open windows to maximize cross-draft. I noticed none of my neighbours had windows open and I could already hear the hum of at least two A/C condensers.

My windows stayed open for about 3 hours, the house temperature climbed to 28C before I decided to close them and switch on the A/C. Last year, looks like June 2nd was my first A/C day. May 18th this year.
