Being the HVAC overlord in my house has been my thing for long enough I guess.
All those withering looks I give to anyone who dares mess with the thermostat will be put away I suppose.
While I wasn’t all that into being the HVAC heavy, I sure did enjoy making sure the heating and cooling costs stayed manageable. That was for sure the main reason I could get so grumpy when it came to bad HVAC heating and cooling behavior. God forbid I find a sliding glass door slightly ajar during the summer heat. Just knowing that the air conditioning had been pouring out that door would drive me wild. Same went for when I found a window cracked during the winter. The plea of someone was too hot just didn’t go over with me. But I have relinquished my HVAC command and am happy to have welcomed a new piece of HVAC technology to our house. We finally pulled the trigger and had the HVAC company install a smart thermostat. It was way overdue from an HVAC technology standpoint. This sort of wifi thermostat has been around for years. I just happen to be one of those people who like to wait for the kinks to get worked out of the latest electronic gadget. Well, the smart thermostat is now well beyond the beta stage and is really just another part of the HVAC equipment world. I have not been disappointed in the least. The smart thermostat is doing just what I hoped it would do. And it just saved an additional 15 percent on our heating and cooling costs. Plus, I have the only override code to manually set the thermostat and I like that very much.
