So I gotta ask...

Are you throwing money away for the sake of convenience?

Don't take that the wrong way...it's a serious question. Why do you
run your AC with the storms up?

I have a serious question for you:

Why do you waste hours fumbling with the storms to save a few pennies
on electricity during the summer cooling season?

First off you're trying to maintain a much larger temperature
differential, over 50 degrees, in winter versus 20 degrees or less in
summer.

In other words, trying to keep a house at 68 degrees when its 0
outside is a lot harder than trying to keep the house at 72 degrees
when it's 90 outside. In winter the marginal additional insulating
value you get from storms makes a significant difference but in summer
it does not make nearly the difference.

Second off, you're using a much more expensive fuel in winter (gas/
oil) versus relatively cheap electricity in the summer.

Huh? "Cheap electricity?" "Expensive gas"? What planet?
