My kids were getting on my last nerve. It was only the start of summer, and I was already longing for schools to open. Now, before you raise your pitchforks at me, settle down. I love my kids to bits. They are my whole world. But, they are all so different, which causes chaos in my house. The latest battle I was dealing with involved the smart thermostat settings. One wanted it hot, the other cooler and the other freezing. I heard them fighting from my office and had to leave my work to go and see what the issue was. I’d had enough with the cooling unit battles in the house and decided it was time for a change. There was no way I would brave weeks of summer as they fought over the thermostat settings. I’d been reading about AC zoning and how it could work in our house. They all had their rooms which would be fitted with mini-thermostats. Each child can set the ideal temperature and leave the common areas to choose. I’d been speaking with a local HVAC company about this and finally confirmed their work after breaking up the fight. The only issue is that they were backed up with cooling unit servicing and repairs. I had to wait until they sent someone over to my house. As we waited, I set some rules for everyone to ensure there were no more battles over the thermostat. If anyone wanted to adjust the settings, they had to come to me first before even attempting to touch the smart thermostat.
