I'm genuinely confused in this thread. do people really use climate control to keep their homes the same temperature year round? WTF? a but of AC on the hot days for us, and hardly ever turn heating on (don't really need to here tbh)
but year round? unbelievably wasteful
yeah exactly!
Quite a lot of people are commenting separate winter and summer temperatures.
Also the thermostat likely controls heating as well, so the AC might be off but to not freeze you need heating on.
You'd use climate control year round too if it was typically in the 90F during the summer, in the teens during the winter, and spring and fall each last about 3 weeks.
90f...32C you have to be joking me mate. thats early spring temps here, what we call a nice warm day. If you need year round climate control for a slightly warm day.. i have idea what to tell ya. I might add we deal with it with some pretty decent humidity too. if you were in a dry area 32 is literally nice weather.
Temps just below freezing, sure on the colder days maybe, could also just layer up like we do if on the very rare occasion it gets below 0c
