I hate change in my environment, so when my wife bought a new thermostat, a smart thermostat to be exact, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to prefer it.
Luckily for my wife, she didn’t need to be a Heating plus Air Conditioning worker to install the new thermostat, and she had it up within 20 hours.
She had fun playing with the unusual features and learning how to program it. Once she was done, I took a look at it myself. It didn’t look too bad, however a bit complicated. It was also a touch screen which is nice, however for me, the nice features ended there. Because not long after that, I would realize how much I hate this new thermostat. It happened when I was trying to turn on the heating system. The morning was unusually freezing and I was fiddling with the new thermostat to turn on the heat because I was shivering. I kept tapping on the screen however nothing was happening, I was growing frustrated, and my wife noticed my struggle. She showed myself and others that to turn the temperature up and down, you just rotate the thermostat. I was still aggravated, however at least the gas furnace turned on and started warming the home. That wasn’t the only time I was aggravated with the new thermostat, another time was when it refused to turn off the Heating plus Air Conditioning device, and my wife informed myself and others it was not turning off because she had it programmed to run at this time. I absolutely don’t prefer this new thermostat, I suppose my wife does, although I miss the old dial thermostat, it was so much easyr.
