Man, was I ever ready to get back inside the zone controlled HVAC of my office.
Being sent home to work from the central air conditioning at my house was not working for me at all.
I’ve heard many different people suggest that they would like to continue to work at home inside their own air conditioning. But it was just too hard to find any kind of rhythm or structure when I was working at home. And our office was closed for more than a year during the height of the pandemic. So I had plenty of time to get accustomed to working at home from my own air conditioning. That said, I really do think that the company did the right thing to protect us. And I’m proud of the response of my colleagues as we rallied around the company and figured out how to get our work done from home. But I was really not very comfortable meeting online and talking to people over technology rather than face to face. But I also just really missed working inside the office. One day I got to thinking about that and wondered just what some of the things that made working at the office so much better. And zone controlled HVAC was one of those things. So it dawned on me to add zone controlled HVAC to our home. I was pleased to find out from the HVAC professionals that they could actually tweak our existing system so we could have five separate heating and cooling zones. And that’s what we have now along with the smart thermostat which makes all the residential HVAC decisions these days.
