Welcome to HVAC Thunderdome

I guess that bill is coming.

I can almost hear it getting slammed into the mailbox with a thud because it is so heavy with big numbers.

We’re in the middle of a very hot Summer as well as this next few utility bills will be very strenuous on our household budget. Both of us are lucky enough to pay all our bills as they arrive but, it doesn’t come without some drastic checkbook gymnastics. In fact, the summertime HVAC bills have been so big that I had to question my HVAC system. I called out the professionals to have a look even though they were here in the Spring for preventive service. The heating as well as cooling tech told me, while the HVAC is on the downslope of productivity, it was still in good shape. He was able to assure myself and others the rise in energy bills was not due to HVAC unit. The higher costs were due to how the HVAC was being used. Somewhere in my heart I knew that HVAC tech was going to say this very thing. The people in my new home act like the HVAC is just instant comfort with no consequence. I have walked into my apartment when it felt like a fridge because my fiance as well as child had just been to the gym as well as were too hot. My child easily had his window open the other day while the air conditioning was struggling against near triple digit temps. Well, that’s it. I asked the HVAC pro to come back in a few days to install a smart temperature control. The HVAC will now be under my control alone. I am setting it as well as keeping the manual override code to myself.
