Every household has one person who changes the thermostat like they are entering a nuclear launch code.
Then another person notices, changes it back, and announces that nobody in this family understands how much utilities cost.
One person believes 68 degrees is perfectly comfortable if everyone simply wears three layers. The other did not agree to pay for a home just to sit inside it wearing a winter coat.
And the children are apparently under the impression that heat, electricity, and money are all unlimited natural resources.
The funny part is that your thermostat may not be causing the entire argument. Drafty windows, poor insulation, an aging HVAC system, high ceilings, direct sunlight, and rooms located far from the equipment can make one part of the house feel completely different from another.
So let’s settle this with a completely unbiased scientific study conducted by people fighting with their families.
What temperature is your house right now, and who keeps changing it?
