I also said that we could have invested in a separate zone where I could keep my area cooler but he doesn’t like that idea either
As I lie awake at one in the morning I have to ask myself if it’s all worth it. No, I am not talking about life itself I am talking about the recent purchase that I made. My family decided it was high time that we replaced the old furnace that was in the basement because it was nearly twenty five years old. It was always seeming to break down when we needed it the most and it wasn’t very energy-efficient either. It made sense to make the investment in the new unit that would provide us quality heat and save us money on our energy bills as well. Now I find that the problem is that a furnace is too effective. I guess I was used to sleeping with a cold draft running through the house and now that we are cozy and warm all the time I can’t sleep because it is too hot. I end up opening my window to let the night air in just so that I can feel comfortable. This practice has caused some tension between my husband and I because he feels like I am wasting the money that we had been trying to save by purchasing a newer more efficient system. My answer to him is that we still are experiencing lower energy bills but my sleep is very important to me and I simply can’t sleep when it is too warm. I also said that we could have invested in a separate zone where I could keep my area cooler but he doesn’t like that idea either. So for now he will have to just deal with me opening the window at night.
