My son has a somewhat rare medical issue (dysautonomia resulting from a Chiari Malformation) where his body does not regulate his temperature. We have to keep the house between 64 and 68 degrees and he needs to take a bath daily to thermoregulate. We have a doctor's note (heck, we have records from Mayo, the Cleveland Clinic, Chicago, as well as our local doctors and neurologists.)
We live in the interior valley of California and despite replacing our AC system and adding solar, we still have extremely high utility bills. After reading some of the posts about AC system medical deductions, I would think we could potentially take a portion of the utility bills? How would we pro-rate the portion related to keeping the house cooler in the spring, summer, fall, and most of the winter, warmer in January/February, and the gas and water for daily bathing?
BTW, we have found he also needs to keep active daily, so he ice skates as that is the only exertion he can do without overheating.... skating runs us thousand of dollars a year as well between the daily drive and the ice time and coaching, etc.
