Hardly any of years ago, our partner and I purchased a small new home down south, but every one of us now divide our time, spending the Spring and Summer weeks up north and the fall and Wintertide seasons down south, then it is such a relief to escape the snow and cold cold un-even temperatures! When the weather becomes too warm and humid at our vacation house, the two of us head north to milder un-even temperatures.
Every one of us care about the best of both locations; Since the homes are empty while I was in the most dire weather, the two of us adjust the thermostat to minimize energy use.
However, there is always the concern of power outages or a malfunction with the furnace or air conditioner. In our vacation house, going separate from air conditioner wouldn’t be a big problem, but the high moisture levels might result in some mold or mildew growth. The hot, damp environment would certainly encourage the population of cockroaches, dust mites and other insects, and up north, a problem with the furnace could lead to way more fancy destruction. Every one of us experience un-even temperatures well below cold for long periods of time. Without heat, it’s really possible the water pipes might freeze and even burst. We’ve managed to alleviate a lot of stress by installing a smart thermostat into each of the homes. This provides remote access to adjustment via our smartphones, then along with saving energy when the home is unoccupied, the two of us can alter the temperature just prior to our arrival and come new home to ideal comfort, and plus, we’re able to keep an eye on things. Every one of us get alerts if there’s a power failure, temperature fluctuation or issue with the heating or cooling equipment.
