She showed me that to turn the temperature up and down, you just rotate the thermostat
I dislike 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 like it. Luckily for my wife, she didn’t need to be a HVAC worker to install the new thermostat, and she had it up within 20 minutes. She had fun playing with the different features and learning how to program it. Once she was done, I took a look at it myself. It didn’t look too bad, but a bit complicated. It was also a touch screen which is nice, but for me, the nice features ended there. Because not long after that, I would realize how much I dislike this new thermostat. It happened when I was trying to turn on the furnace. The morning was unusually cold and I was fiddling with the new thermostat to turn on the heat because I was shivering. I kept tapping on the screen but nothing was happening, I was growing frustrated, and my wife noticed my struggle. She showed me that to turn the temperature up and down, you just rotate the thermostat. I was still annoyed, but at least the heater turned on and started warming the home. That wasn’t the only time I was annoyed with the new thermostat, another time was when it refused to turn off the HVAC device, and my wife informed me it was not turning off because she had it programmed to run at this time. I really don’t like this new thermostat, I know my wife does, but I miss the old dial thermostat, it was so much simpler.
