Living the northeast can be challenging, & not just in the winter.
I talked to my sister last weekand she told me that it was 85 degrees.
This seemed odd because it was only md May. Then, when I talked to her today, her high was only going to be around 45 degrees. That just seems crazy. She told me that it was not odd to have a 30 to 40 degree swing in hot & cold temperatures over the course of 24 hours. I asked her how they handled that, because you would have to constantly be switching from heat to air conditioner. She said that they had a system that was all inclusive. It was programmed with a smart thermostat so they just set the ideal temperature & the system alternates as needed to maintain it. They found that the program saved them currency as well because they never had to touch it & the temperature was constantly the same in the house. After learning this, I decided to look into this feather for my own home. My friend and I never experienced the extremes like my sister does, but I am all for saving currency. I called my local Heating & A/C supplier & they came out, installed the new thermostat, & even showed me how to control it with my cell phone. I just prefer it. I still never want to have yo yo weather like they do up north, but having a constant temperature without ever having to go to the thermostat again gives me great peace of mind. My apartment is constantly 68 degrees no matter the weather outside.
