I always keep it on the same settings and I check every day to make sure that my thermostat is exactly where it should be and it hasn’t moved at all
I’ve been noticing a strange phenomena recently that’s been going on in my house. Right now I’m living in a small place but I really want to upgrade to something bigger and so I’m putting as much money as I can into my savings so that I can hopefully one day upgrade to a much nicer house with an excellent HVAC system to go along with it. That is my goal. So what is the strange phenomena you might wonder? Well, despite me budgeting and keeping track of all my expenses very thoroughly, I’ve noticed that my heating and AC bill has been steadily rising with every month but the thing is that I’m doing everything exactly the same. I have the same HVAC unit, the same thermostat, and I’m using it exactly the same. I know I’m using it exactly the same and that I haven’t changed anything because I’m using a smart thermostat. The smart thermostat connects to an app on my phone where I can control the smart thermostat. I always keep it on the same settings and I check every day to make sure that my thermostat is exactly where it should be and it hasn’t moved at all. So what’s going on? I decided that it would be best if I contacted a heating and AC to come out and take a look because my suspicions were that maybe my thermostat wasn’t working correctly. However when the HVAC technician came out he found that actually the issue was that I had a leak in my ductwork and that was causing me to lose a large amount of air that my air conditioning system put out, meeting my HVAC system had to work harder to even cool my home. Once the ductwork was repaired the problem was taken care of and the amount went back to normal.
