When I saw the energy bill last week, I almost fainted.
- My buddy Jim and I were having to pay twice as much for the heating as we did the year before.
This has become a pattern with the prices of energy for our home. And I wanted to get to the bottom of this issue. See, it’s not okay to labor all your whole life just to pay the bills. It’s better to have some money left to do things you like, but also save up a little dough. But, there’s been inflation lately, as well as the price of everything seems to get higher. Still, I thought the high energy bill seemed abnormal. So I spoke with an Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C pro about this matter. She had come by the house to do maintenance, as well as also wipe down the HVAC duct. My buddy and I ran tests on, as well as realized the issue was thermostat settings. My buddy Jim and I had installed a smart thermostat 2 years back, as well as it keeps a history of all adjustments to the settings. To my surprise, the settings were never consistent. It seems as if the adolescents had been messing with the temperature control again after the last time I strictly warned them against doing it. If you keep increasing the temperature settings, the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C natural gas furnace has to labor harder to keep up. When this happens, you end up using more energy to make your home warm, as well as pay a higher utility bill. This wasn’t what I wanted so I began monitoring the smart thermostat using my cellphone. If anyone attempted to change the settings, I would get an alert on my cell, as well as stop the change. Hopefully, this will help lower my utility bill, as well as leave some money in my pockets.
