Trying to convince child to stop turning up the temperature control

The last few months the heating bill has been outrageous.

  • We understand we are in the middle of winter and the temperature control needs to be turned on more often, but what is the saying, money does not grow on trees? Well, at least that is what our folks used to say all the time when we were growing up.

These days we have teens and they are homeschooled. We are trying to teach them many things and this is tough at times. Our spouses mainly do all the teaching because we have a business to run, so at times when we get to the beach house, they are not cheerful and need a break from the tees. As we said the last few months it’s been frigid due to winter. Now our children have been turning the dial on the temperature control up so the heating system has been constantly running to keep the home warmer than we would like. We are trying to teach them the cause and effect of using too much heat and how it affects our bills. We think we are going to have to invest in smart temperature control soon. It’s not like here and there kind of messing with the temperature control and cranking up the heater, it’s an everyday occurrence. Sadly, this is best for us because we do not love looking at the high gas bill due to the temperature control being turned way too high. We wonder how much one costs and hopefully, it’s simple for us to install or we shall be calling the Heating, Ventilation & A/C company for help.
