Who runs the heater in the morning and the AC in the afternoon?

Question

My MIL (whom we live with due to her health) drives me crazy every fall...she runs the heater in the morning and then turns the Air Conditioning on in the afternoon! WHO DOES THAT???? I would just like to know really who does that because it drives me crazy...I think it is a total waste of electricity and runs the bill up etc. It just makes no sense to me!!! SO help me out...WHO DOES THAT!!!!!!

Answer 1

no one should that's what sweaters are for.

Answer 2

Old people do that...because they have lost their ability to regulate their own temperature. I have been in the homes of some old folks, and I swear they keep the temp at 98 degrees.

This is why they have Mother In Law Suites added onto houses, with separate entrances and seperate HVAC.

Answer 3

I haven't been around too long in going to people houses to check their energy usage but I can say that what you are saying for sure it does not make sense in our area which is Houston; in your case it will depend, I think on the type of climate in your city maybe too cold in the morning and too hot in the afternoon for her preference and she probably likes the temperature to be at a certain number, i.e.: 78 degrees.
