Come to find out, none of us had been messing with the thermostat at all
When we bought a new thermostat a couple of weeks ago, we did not take the time to read through all of the instructions when we had it installed. We also told the HVAC technician that he did not need to stay at the house to teach us how to work here, because we assumed that all thermostats are made the same. Looking back on that, that was probably a dumb decision for us. We should have definitely let the HVAC technician walk us through it and tell us how to use the new smart thermostat because it’s very different from our old one. Throughout the last couple of weeks, there has been chaos in our house when it comes to the furnace settings. I have been getting mad at my wife, she has been getting mad at me, and we both have been getting mad at the kids. The settings on the thermostat have just been going up and down all the time and we are all accusing each other of messing around with the heating system. My wife will be freezing, and I will be burning up, and then we will get into a fight because we each accuse the other of changing the thermostat settings. Then when we tell each other that we did not touch the thermostat, then we both get mad at the kids and it’s just been a big mess. Come to find out, none of us had been messing with the thermostat at all. It just came with a pre-set schedule and it was running the way that it was supposed to. If we had only taken the time to listen to our HVAC technician in the first place, none of this would have been happening.
