I should probably get a new thermostat.
Or really, I should have probably gotten one a long time ago.
The thermostat I have now is at least 15 years old. It is pretty old, and it shows. Not only does it look old and shows signs of wear, but it shows in the efficiency of the thermostat as well. I had been meaning to get a new thermostat for awhile now, but for one reason or another I just never got around to buying one. However, after seeing the efficiency of my heating and air conditioning system being affected, as well as having multiple times where the thermostat wouldn’t respond at all, I think it is about time that I get a new thermostat. I guess the final nail in the coffin was when my brother was over for dinner. While I was making dinner, I noticed my brother had disappeared. I looked around and found him messing with the thermostat, which I didn’t like. He was trying to change the temperature, but after failing multiple times, he told me my thermostat was crap. I decided later that day after dinner to go online and look at available thermostats. I had a dial thermostat, and so I would like to try something new like maybe a smart thermostat, I have heard many good things about those. Or I could try a programmable thermostat. I have also heard of wifi thermostats as well. I don’t know, but I plan on buying a new thermostat by the end of today.
