This past weekend my buddy and I were out of town, hitting the road and travelling great distances, as usual.
This is no unrespected event for us; it seems like we’re always in the vehicle these mornings, driving thousands of miles for gigs, university tests, and friendly visits; All that being said, you would think that I’d be able to figure out the temperature control situation at condo when we’re gone.
For the longest time, I simply forgot to adjust the control equipment before my buddy and I walked out the door. In all the hustle and bustle of packing and loading the car, I would rightfully forget to walk down the hallway and turn down the air handling equipment. Then, I would remember halfway through the trip that the A/C was still set to 68 degrees or the heating system was still blasting away. After that, I simply felt guilty and distraught about the energy I wasted, and the trip would suffer from my disadvantage energy. That’s why my hubby finally had a smart control equipment installed in our home, to circumvent this guilt. Suddenly, I had the ability to adjust the indoor air temperature from anywhere! Whenever I remembered that our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system was still pumping away at home, I could easily modify the control equipment settings and reduce my anxiety. Well, that was a legitimately great improvement to our condo energy expenditure and Heating, Ventilation, and A/C plan… but it only works if this idiot can figure out how to use it correctly. Last weekend, I thought I was turning the A/C down in our absence, although I was legitimately cranking up the heat to 71 degrees. When my buddy and I got back into town, our home was scalding warm and our energy bill was quite impressive.
