I mean here's the thing:
My wife thinks that -69/72 and cool- will keep the house around the upper 60's [it's legit 17 degrees outside].
EVERY morning I wake up and it's the lower 50's on the thermostat. I have a little space heater [that I bought for my office, because she insists it be this way in the house(overnight)] and barely have 20 mins with it before she takes the heater to heath whatever room she is in. I told her when I bought it, if she wanted one, she needed to buy one for herself.
Still, this is the main problem I bought the personal space heater to solve. Every day it's the same freaking deal. My wife complains the house is SOOO cold. She blames the thermostat (set at 69 and cool). I proceed to tell her she is detached from reality. I turn on the heat and she gets pissed. She complains her head hurts as soon as she feels the slightest bit of dry heat come into the house. I told her she needs to see a doctor, but she won't and says 'the thermostat just needs to work right'.
I have explained we have a heat/cool setting. We had it set to that, and if it reaches over, to just let it reset. Nope. It has to be 69 and cool. Normally, it's not this sickly cold and dress up the kiddos in warm clothes (while slyly getting the temperature up in the house during the day).
It was so bad, I told my wife (for the N,000th time) that how she thinks a thermostat works is not how it works. I didn't know what more to do here.
My friend is an HVAC tech and I just had him explain it to her:
She was like "If I have it set to 72, it should stay at 72 right?"
He was like: "Uh Yeah."
Meanwhile, I try to interject, but mention the setting you have it on.
She was hesitant and argued with me until I mentioned '72 and cool'.
Him: 'No that's just not how it works. You need to have it set to heat or heat/cool to keep temperatures running over.'
Then, I correct her ramblings with settings/temperatures. He says it could just be a stray setting from messing with Nest so much.
Instead, she just called me a liar, yelled at me that I needed to leave the room, and seems utterly determined to stay detached from reality. If it's actually a problem for her head, I want her to go see a doctor for it.
TLDR: My wife refuses to let the thermostat be on heat cool because her head hurts, and insists it should absolutely work at 72 and cool when it doesn't. Had HVAC friend explain it to her. She told me to get out of the room.
