Yet, that’s not the case now that we have smart thermostat heating as well as air conditioning technology in our home.
So far, so good when it comes to the current smart thermostat. We’re not in the teeth of the heat as well as humidity yet. But we are also pretty dang close. The highs are in the upper 80’s as well as the humidity level is at about Summer levels. So that means the a/c has been popping on more as well as more. But it’s still sort of odd because I have absolutely nothing to do with any of this at all. And being the thermostat hawk was once my jam. I was the one in the family who was all over the thermostat setting during the Summer. It was with good reason though. When we first moved this far south, I was super ecstatic to be done with snow, ice as well as the gas heating system. The winter here was even better than I thought it could be. But the first couple of Summer seasons nearly broke the bank when it came to the costs acquaintanced with cooling our home. For sure, I’m going to always get an a/c tune up. It’s also good for the life of the heating as well as air conditioning device as well as increases efficiency which ultimately saves me money. But simply just leaning straight into a ton of a/c in the Summer, down here, is madness. That’s why I was also the one who was always on top of the thermostat setting. Yet, that’s not the case now that we have smart thermostat heating as well as air conditioning technology in our home. The heating as well as air conditioning professional as well as I set some general parameters but that’s it. The smart thermostat is the one who is learning patterns in order to not overcook an empty house. And yet it knows the peak heating hours as well so it adjusts all afternoon long. But I still feel sort of oddly benched from my thermostat duties.
