It was going to be rough.
This is what kept ringing in my head the day I got laid off from work. The whole supplier was making losses so the decision was to kneel off 50% of the staff, then everyone had seen this coming, but it was still a big shock. This meant I had to look into a few things if I was to survive until I got another job, and first, I had to check in with my parents about some money they had provided me. This would help me cover rent for a year and also offset some bills. But, I also had to cut my costs until I was back on my feet. That first month, I took notice of my cooling bill and realized it was too high, however given I’d also incur big electric costs in winter, I had to find a solution to this. I called the A/C company which did my upgrade to send me an Heating and A/C expert to inspect my unit. Keeping it working efficiently was at the top of my list. As the Heating and A/C expert did the repair work, he also spoke to me about installing a smart control unit. I was skeptical about the ability of a smart control component saving me money. But he said I shouldn’t knock the plan off before giving it a try. A smart control component makes the cooling and furnaces much more efficient thus regulating energy use. It adapts to the temperature change thus reducing the amount of energy the program uses each day. I was finally convinced and went ahead to order a smart control component for my home.
