That would be interesting to have some number of how many days the heater is on vs how many days the AC is on. You’re absolutely right.

The only thing I was thinking is whether those dark roofs are beneficial in the winter because you would have to use less energy to heat the place. I mean what if having to spend less energy to heat the home would offset the savings of having to cool it less in the summer? But it seems that here, in California, we spend more energy cooling our places, rather then heating them. I think it makes sense too Perig.

Makes sense, right. Ever been in a black car parked in the sun during the summer! Compare that with a white car and here you have your example. Doing some little things can make a big difference in the long run. Keep sharing I enjoy reading. HI Tadas,
