I guess when it comes to heating and air conditioning you can say that my wife and I are different people.
I prefer having our old thermostat that we have now, the way I look at it is that if it isn’t broken we shouldn’t fix it.
Why do we need to get a smart thermostat if what we have now works perfectly fine? My wife however doesn’t see it that way and in fact she likes to have the most modern heating and AC technology that is on the market and so it wasn’t surprising to me when she wanted a smart thermostat. She was insistent about a smart thermostat and was trying everything she could to convince me that we should get one. As much as I liked having my old thermostat, if she really wanted one that badly I guess I really didn’t have any good reason to say no. After the two of us we’re finished discussing it we agreed that we would get a smart thermostat, however since the two of us slept in different bedrooms it was also decided that I was going to keep a separate window AC and my room so that I can control the temperature is in my room separately from the central heating and AC system in the house. The two of us came to an agreement and we were able to find a perfect balance that made both of us happy. She got her smart thermostat and I was happy using the window air conditioning system. I really don’t need a lot when it comes to heating and AC so as long as I have temperatures that are relatively comfortable within my temperature preference range I’m happy.
