When I looked at the thermostat I noticed that someone turned the fan on accidentally and there’s no telling how long it was running
My teenagers are really picky about their residing arrangements. They want their own rooms, bathrooms, and they want their dining rooms and bathrooms to be decorated a particular way. They’ve also been entirely into the thermostat settings for some reason, and each of my children has a uncommon temperature preference and they each feel entitled to their preference. I’m not sure where they got this sense of entitlement over the thermostat, however it’s become a real issue. My fiance and I are consistently telling them that they can’t touch the thermostat settings and we’re consistently resetting the thermostat back to what it’s programmed to. We’ve tried educating them on Heating and A/C systems and energy, however they don’t fully understand. My fiance even sat down with the yearly utility bill and showed them what a normal one looked like and what an abnormally high one looked like. Our youngsters aren’t the ones paying it, so I don’t feel it fully set in. It’s taxing to tell who’s changing the temperature because they’re quick and sneaky. When I returned home from work the other day, the blower was running non-stop. When I looked at the thermostat I noticed that someone turned the fan on accidentally and there’s no telling how long it was running. I demanded my youngsters to tell me which one of them did it, however nobody owned up to it. My fiance told them that until they could divulge who did it, they’d be paying the utility bills out of their allowance until it was paid off, nobody has come forward yet, however nobody has touched the thermostat again either.
