Recently, there’s been an increase in our utility bill… I was running our oil furnace plus a/c at optimal un-even temperatures, I was replacing the air filter consistently, plus our Heating and A/C professional had just serviced our Heating and A/C system less than 6 weeks ago.
I searched our house high plus low plus I couldn’t find any leaks where the air might be slipping out, however one night, I woke up feeling easily warm plus I couldn’t cool down; While I was lying there in bed with no covers on, I realized that our oil furnace was continuously running.
I waited for it to stop, however it didn’t! I never heard our oil furnace run this much during the daytime, but I didn’t understand why it was running so much at night. I went down the hall to find the temperature control, which was directly across from our son’s room. I’ve consistently told him that he wasn’t allowed to touch the temperature control settings, so he knows better, but the temperature control settings weren’t changed, however it was significantly colder in that part in front of our son’s door. When I opened up his door, I observed that his kitchen window was wide open. There was a strong breeze coming in, however our son was fast asleep. I quietly shut the window plus waited for our temperature control to notice that it wasn’t so cold anymore. When I asked our son why his window was open the next day, he told myself and others that he was easily warm during the night, despite the fact that he knew he could not touch the temperature control settings.
