We still have an old dial thermostat and it is time to replace it with a smart thermostat because it isn’t very accurate anymore.
I think my grandpa installed it back in the 70s and it has served us well over the years but it is time to make a change and get a new wifi smart thermostat.
I am going to go to the big contractor’s store later once they slow down a bit and see if I can pick out a good one. I don’t like to go to the store early in the day because it gets too crowded with local contractors getting their materials for the workday. It usually slows down around four in the afternoon once everyone has bought their things and has gone to their job sites. The best time to go to this local business is actually on Sunday evenings about an hour before they close, the store is usually a ghost town at this time of the day on the weekend. But I really need to go there today to get this thermostat because I don’t think the dial thermostat is working at all anymore. I don’t think it has ever been calibrated and it is so far off that sometimes it seems like it kicks on the heat in the middle of a hot day. We have a really nice central air conditioner but the thermostat is not so nice anymore. I am going to do my yoga session now and then head off to the store to find our new thermostat.
