So normally, I have a great deal of difficulty when it comes to giving up control.
- Yet, this new HVAC technology in our home is making it so easy for me to relinquish my thermostat monitor badge.
That’s the way the rest of the family sees me. I’m the air conditioning police. For sure, I do make sure that we aren’t paying staggering amounts of money for over cooling our home. That’s just never a good thing and sure wasn’t going to happen in my house. So I’m sort of accustomed to the moans and groans when I reset the thermostat to be in line with the parameters we adhere to. I even learned how to program the digital thermostat that was here prior to the smart thermostat. In my defense, we always saved big time when it comes to a Summer of air conditioning. But with the recent heating and cooling upgrade, I’m finding that the HVAC technology can take my place quite nicely. What’s even more surprising is just how good I am with that. When we had the heating and cooling equipment replaced, we went with the latest in residential HVAC. So we now have zone controlled HVAC in the house. That’s pretty awesome so I can further customize the thermostat settings to save if I want to. But it’s also nice to have the family be able to dial in comfort for themselves without taking the whole house down 5 degrees. The smart thermostat covers me as well by keeping the house much warmer during the peak heating hours of the day. All in all, I’m okay with the HVAC technology taking over that part of my household duties.
