I'm planning my first (although brief - 4 day) trip to TV next month. I've been to Florida a couple of times in the summer on vacation, so I have some idea of the heat/humidity which I'm sure I will get to experience again in about 28 days. People in the Midwest differ on how much they use A/C at home, depending on our variable summer temps. I might turn on the A/C at home only a few times the whole summer like last year's cool summer, versus this summer which has been hotter. I've had the A/C on probably 5 days already since mid-May--I'm in suburban Chicago.
For people who live in TV year round, does the A/C stay on 24/7 from June through August, or can the A/C be turned off at bedtime and still have comfortable sleeping conditions? What are the TV residents' monthly electric bills like during the months of heavy A/C use?
Now to winter -- do houses in TV have furnaces? I've been to Central Florida in mid-January, and the temps. got down to the low 40's at night, but rose to low 70's by early afternoon, so just wondering if TV homes have furnaces for those low 40 degree nights, or you just throw on a sweatshirt and tough it out.
Looking forward to seeing TV next month.
