My life-long bestie and his hubby paid us a visit Last week and stayed for a week in our guest dining room.
My nice friend and I are all empty-nesters, so our guest dining room and bathroom provide plenty of room and privacy for them to stay.
The first day my associate and I decided to hang around the house and the pool rather than starting out on multiple jaunts in the area. That’s when the discussion of temperature control settings made its way into the conversation, then our southern friends are naturally more accustomed to higher temperatures than my associate and I are… Whereas my associate and I were comfortable with the temperature control set at seventy two or seventy three degrees, they were a bit chilled, but come to find out, they keep their temperature control set at seventy six degrees! That’s when my associate and I were so cheerful that my associate and I had installed zone heating and cooling a few years back. Our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C supplier had convinced us that heating and cooling with zones was much more efficient than central heating and cooling. In fact, he had documentation that indicated that zone heating and cooling can save up to thirty percent on energy bills. Zoning keeps certain areas of the home heated or cooled, while the other areas use less energy! Also known as automatic balancing systems, zoning systems are the ultimate solution for differing comfort levels and needs. And with house guests from a moderate state, their comfort needs were much different from ours. Because my associate and I had many temperature controls venued throughout the home, they were able to set the temperature in their dining room and bathroom warmer than my associate and I set ours. The comfort, efficiency and temperature control that my associate and I enjoyed during their visit reinforced our belief that a zoned heating and cooling system was the best system for us.
