Every one of us moved the thermostat so it wouldn’t get blasted with sun from the window
I thought that having a lot of windows in our home would be phenomenal, however that was before the builders finished the project. Now that I have been living in our custom home for over more than five weeks, I understand how the windows can be problematic. First of all, however I have a security system in our home, it’s daunting to think of all the points of entry for a random intruder. It’s 1 of those daunting thoughts that comes to me in the middle of the evening while I’m trying to wind myself down to go to sleep. It’s taxing to get a fantastic evening’s sleep when you’re super paranoid about random break-ins occurring while you’re knocked out. I ended up buying those cheap alarms that you can connect to door plus window frames that emit a shrill shrieking sound whenever the entry point is breached. Beyond that, I’m also anxious about our indoor temperatures in relation to the windows. In the Winter time the frigid air will leak in from outside while the opposite happens in the summer. On top of temperature leakage, the sun that comes in from the windows was hitting our Heating plus A/C thermostat which was originally installed on a wall that gets sun exposure in the day hours. I had no plan that radiant heat from sun could make the wall boiling enough where it messes with the thermostat’s temperature readings. The issue is that the thermostat is what tells the Heating plus A/C system what the real temperature inside the home really is, so a warmer than proper wall will make the Heating plus A/C system think the home is warmer than it really is in reality.
