When I moved to Lowell, Massachusetts it was for a job; I wasn’t too pleased with the chilly and the snow; But it seemed like a nice idea to go there for the extra money.
Well a few years ago COVID happened and a ton of people lost their jobs.
I was included in this. I hunted around and now I work totally from home. I am way happier and entirely make more money, but now I stick close to home when it is super cold, and since I am home so much I have invested heavily in my heating equipment. It makes sense to have a nice furnace when you live in Lowell. It also makes sense to utilize a smart control component for being a work from home guy. With a smart control component I can have low heating in the rest of the house. I make sure to heat the home in unused parts just enough that nothing freezes… My office is heated perfectly so I am comfortable, and the smart control component has the furnace turn on the moment I am in there and turns off the moment my work day ends. I also have the rest of the household slowly start to get warmer as my day is ending. That way I transfer from one nice area to the other. Slowly down the amount of heat in sections of my home has saved me so much money. My furnace also seems to be doing better since it rarely has to heat an entire household to 69 degrees while in the winter. Working from home has saved much more than my sanity.
