Leave well enough alone, I think that this is a very good piece of advice.
When I was growing up I definitely didn’t understand this sentiment.
I was always poking at people and things in my life, trying to improve them in every way possible. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s better just to be happy and grateful for what you have. It can only complicate matters further when you continually try to change things without having a solid plan of what you’re actually getting into. This is what I kept trying to tell my wife last week when she insisted that she could finely tune the thermostat setting to save us more money on our central heating, cooling, and ventilation repair costs. For the past several years we have had a lot of professional heating and cooling technicians at our house to perform troubleshooting and repair services on our central air conditioning system and forced air furnace. Unfortunately, we have also had very high energy bills thanks to the inefficient processes of our outdated air quality control systems. I know we have been struggling to cover all of our utility bills and the added costs of professional HVAC services don’t help. However, I wasn’t excited when my wife proposed that she should mess with the thermostat settings to make them absolutely perfect. It’s been two weeks since she decided to alter the temperature control program. I don’t think that I’ve slept a wink since. Somehow, my wife managed to flip flop the indoor air temperature settings so now we are always using the heating and cooling system at the wrong time of day. I’ve never been less comfortable and our energy bills are going to be through the roof this month.
