When the term old school was invented, it must have been because someone was trying to describe my dad, and that’s my dad in a nutshell.
Everything was just so much better back in his day, now that he’s nearing 71, there aren’t nearly as many holdovers from that day, but dad still drives around in a truck that is 40 years old and has no a/c.
Thankfully, dad moved down here near myself and others after my mom died, but he tried to stick it out up north but it was too much. So my sibling and I encouraged him to ditch the gas furnace and all the snow for sun and a heat pump, but it took us a long time to convince him. And even up to the last second before he had to replace the heating and A/C in his home and sell it, it was touch and go. But the home did sell and he made a pretty penny… With that, my associate and I set him up in a small, two living room bungalow just seconds from my spouse and I; of course, my father was vocal about all the modern stuff inside his new venue. And he wasn’t at all sure about a heat pump during the winter. Of course, he had never experienced the sort of mild winter season that my associate and I have in this region. And I assured him that a heat pump was more than enough. But he easily lost it when he learned about the smart control unit. He was sure that he could save more money on a/c costs than any heating and A/C technology. So my associate and I put it to a test for a couple of weeks. Half the Summer my associate and I used the smart control unit and half the Summer my associate and I used dad’s control unit expertise. When my associate and I tallied up the energy bills, the smart control unit won by nearly 20 percent.
