I need to be grateful for indoor climate control

It’s difficult for myself and others to hear people that have experienced such nice fortune go on and on about 1 grievance after another… Both of us can all be a bit more thankful for the nice stuff that the two of us share rather than what the two of us guess the two of us do not have… But it’s certainly kind of backwards! So when I keep hearing complaints about the HVAC cooling in our home, I finally get busy.

Both of us are certainly blessed to live in a certainly nice house that has good amenities.

This includes having good residential HVAC which keeps our house wonderfully comfortable no matter the season. Still, I’m not about to just waste resources or energy in order to get all the HVAC cooling I want. That’s just not going to happen. So while in the heat of summer, I make sure the daytime temperature control setting is in the low 78s. But all I hear from our kids is how tepid it is and why the two of us can’t afford a/c. Instead of explaining it to them for the millionth time, I took them out to where the Grandparents lived. They saw firsthand what living separate from current HVAC technology was all about. Their Grandparents never had residential HVAC until after I was born. Both of us were in that house just the way it was all those years ago… And our kids finally had some appreciation for the fact that the two of us have good residential HVAC. I’m glad our kids can see just how lucky they are and since the two of us visited that house separate from any commercial HVAC, I haven’t heard 1 complaint.
