The electric bill is once again unquestionably too high.
It’s as though I can entirely feel it as it sucks all the money out of my billfold.
The money that my family spends as a household for Heating and Air Conditioning comfort can get a bit staggering. Just writing the check each week, when it’s prime heating season, can make me freak out like I am writing a yearly tuition payment. Back when I was a kid, the Heating and Air Conditioning was almost like magic and anyone who dared to touch the control component was engaging in some risky behavior with my dad. God forbid one of us adolescents left a door ajar while it was the summer. My old dad would go off his rocker. He’d be so mad if he could witness what is going on in this house. There is simply no regard for what it costs to cool this house. My adolescents act like the Heating and Air Conditioning is a right and something that should be customized just for them. Maybe he began speaking to me from his grave and now I’ve changed my whole attitude on our Heating and Air Conditioning use. The heating and cooling program is fairly new and it’s super efficient. The Heating and Air Conditioning program is not the problem, because the problem begins with the people who are residing in the house that I am paying for! The fluctuations came fast once I got started. First, I spent a weekend with a caulk gun sealing up the entire inside and exterior of the home, so there will be no more Heating and Air Conditioning treated air leaking outside. Then I put in a smart control thermostat that can’t be manually overridden by anyone except for yours truly! And I put up automatic solar blinds and synced them to the smart control unit. Finally, I am reviewing the security footage of the house and I’m going to start fining anyone leaving anything open.
