What's New? Thermostats

When we moved into our new home, it had several original fixtures. The lighting is all completely outdated. The cool deck and pool surface are cracked and eroded. The thermostats were the original mercury ones. After having programmable thermostats for many many years, we knew we had to replace those right away. No matter what we placed the temperature level at, one of them always read 70 degrees and the other one always read 66 degrees.

Fortunately, our new neighbor, Brian, is an HVAC guy. And he gives neighbor discounts. We had his company come out to check out the system, and then we arranged for new thermostats. Ahhh, who would ever think that thermostat could be such a glorious purchase? Now our home climate is programmed. And we know exactly what the temperature is at all times. We have dual units, and they both read 71 degrees simultaneously.

It's a good thing we got on this right away. Brian said the old ones had no mercury left in them at all. So, they weren't working well or accurately. The best part? We got to cross "replace thermostats" off our to-do list!
