I don’t hate technology.
I just mostly resist getting more because it makes me feel so stupid during the learning curve.
But of course, I rely on technology every single day of my life just to live. I’m hesitant to add more tech gadgets to the house though. That’s even true when it came to the HVAC technology. We’ve been really lucky to live in a home that has just great quality heating and air. That’s something you definitely need around this region. Well, maybe not so much the heating but definitely the cooling. Our winters are so mild that my heat pump really doesn’t do much but sit there during the winter months. However, there are always cold snaps where having the thermostat flipped to heating really comes through. Still, it’s the cooling here. I know people who flip the thermostat to HVAC cooling in March and leave it there until Thanksgiving. I’m not quite that intense when it comes to air conditioning. But believe me, when the summer gets here, I pour on the HVAC cooling night and day. There’s just really no other way in this place. It’s just that sort of hot. Of course, I do my best to rein in the thermostat setting to save money on all that air conditioning. But this summer, I won’t have to do that. No, I didn’t hit the lottery, I added HVAC technology. With the new smart thermostat in our home, I just let it take care of things itself. And the HVAC technician suggested that I’ll see even more savings with the HVAC thermostat than I did without it.
