I get up in the morning and turn the A/C on for an hour or so before

open up the windows, even on winter days, because of the sun). The
A/C comes back on at some point after the sun going down, and
usually stays on till we go to bed.

I'm confused. You have the A/C on in the evenings in the winter??

Do you mean something different from what I mean by A/C (air
conditioning, what is used to *cool down* a house or room during hot
weather)?



I think in the US we might say heat pump for a reversable A/C but maybe
folks with those even say heat and A/C according to what mode they are
running. Aren't you (Joyce) in a "heat pump" area? We get too cold here
so they are not popular for this area.
