Thanks for posting this reality. We control our NEST and our AC will come on at 81 in the area where we basically live.
“The other 2/3’s, where we don’t live, stays at 90 re any AC in the summer or 62 in the winter.
Poor babies. Locked at 78 or 79? That’s awful.
NOT.”
Ours stays at 78 all summer and has since the 70s. It has been done for economics alone all those years. In the winter it is at 68 for the same reason.
If I lived in Denver most of the other dry places in Colorado I would use evaporative coolers just like we did in the desert regions of Texas. They are cheap to operate and work very well in those climates.
How do snowflakes ever make it out of the house in the mornings?
We too are zoned but not in small compartments. I keep the shop at 80 in summer and 62, the lowest setting, in winter. Should be a lower setting on that mini-split but no.
The new addition is in three zoned areas.
If you don’t move too much 80 something is OK especially when it is 100 outside. All relative isn’t it?
I wonder why it takes just about as much juice to maintain a 20 degree cooling differential as it does a 40 degree heating differential? That one does not make much sense to me. Must be the radiant heat gain.
