Teenage Thermostat Tampering: How to Avoid a Home That Feels Like a Meat Locker
Teenagers home alone often treat the thermostat like a toy—setting it far too low, especially during hot months. With StatGuardPlus, you can maintain a more stable and comfortable home environment without unnecessary energy use.
When Teens Get Control of the Thermostat
Left to their own devices, teens may lower the temperature excessively. That can lead to:
Higher energy usage
Uncomfortably cold indoor air
Strain on household appliances like fridges and freezers
Extreme indoor temperatures don't just affect comfort—they may also influence how well other systems in your home function.
Why 60 Degrees Might Be Too Much
Overcooling isn't just about feeling chilly. Cooling your home too much can lead to inefficient HVAC performance and may impact other appliances that rely on stable ambient temperatures. Plus, fluctuating settings can throw off your home's overall energy balance.
