We never switched the thermostat to “cool”

My married life is really complicated.

I know that I’m with the right person because we’re a perfect match… but there are so many days when I wonder if my husband and I are out of our minds.

A lot of things that take place in our home are questionable. We can be so spacey together at times, it’s embarrassing to even admit some of our mistakes. Last week, for instance, we decided that we were going to start paying so much money for our high energy bills by changing our old school thermostat. Not only were the thermostat settings way too demanding for our entire heating, cooling, and air quality control system, but the thermostat itself could use an upgrade before summer set in. We decided to have a professional heating, cooling, and ventilation technician install a smart air temperature control device for us so that the temperature control equipment could be quickly regulated with energy-efficient settings that we did not have to worry about. The HVAC tech tested the thermostat on the heat setting, and we were pleased with the professional service. After the heating, cooling, and air quality control technician installed our brand-new temperature control device we didn’t notice that the indoor air felt very nice. But, still, we were expecting to see a change on our upcoming energy bill. We sure did… but the change went in the wrong direction. Our energy bill somehow increased. That’s when my husband realized that we never actually set the thermostat to “cool” mode. It was still pumping heat into the house.
