When people come over to stay with me, I’m usually amazed at how inconsiderate they tend to be.
I think that people enjoy being guests in my home, but I don’t think that I enjoy having them around very much.
In fact, I get very stressed when my friends and family are hanging around. One of the things that’s always a point of contention is their insistence on using my heating, cooling, and air quality control equipment when they’re staying at my place. I mean, by all means, we should be comfortable when we can manage to be. However, I think it’s a bit of a stretch for your house guest to start dictating the proper indoor air quality control settings for your own heating, cooling, and air quality control equipment. I set my thermostat carefully to have the best energy efficiency and temperature settings for my home. However, I always have people walk in and start dictating different settings for my temperature control unit. They want the air hotter or cooler, more humid or more dry. However, they aren’t the people who have to call the local HVAC technician for professional repairs and maintenance jobs because of all the indoor air temperature control equipment changes. Whenever my guests leave, I have a huge HVAC repair bill to work out in the aftermath. I hate paying out the nose for energy bills or HVAC expenses, but I also don’t want to make anyone feel unwanted in my home. At this point, I have an open door policy… but a locked thermostat rule. This is my HVAC system, and you’ll have to be considerate of my indoor air quality equipment.
