Meet our Honeywell T-3 AC/Heat Thermostat!
Above is what it looks like and has for 4 years. It's a computer. I hate it. I had the ac guy set it on Manual which means, I know how to change from heat to ac and make the temp go up or down.
Push minus or plus and read the mode.
Saturday AM we were hot while cleaning floors and I pushed the minus twice, that is how I have for 4 years.
IT WNE WONKY, Like this below
I pushed select, asked for year, next day, then the words 12 Hours appeared.
with SELECT the only option.
I FREAKED. we were hot, the ac was running and turning off and on and I was afraid to touch it.
Because it was Saturday I waited from 4 am to 10 am and called.
The wife that always answered did not. A cute perky adorable voice said
Hi, this is Megan, your virtual assistant. I can understand anything you say, what can I help you with?
GUESS WHAT? she could and did understand every word.
she said, would you like me to have a technical return your call? Yes Please.
5 minutes and the phone rang, and The Wife said what can I help you with.
I told her my issue and she said I can help you, tell me what you see on the thermostat.
She said just hit select, pick the year, pick the day, and when you see
12 hours, hit select, that is what you want, 12 hours. I wanted to ay but why, I don't get this, but wa to excited that when I pushed select it said saving and
PRESTO! there was the way it should be.
I thanked the wife that knew how to do this for the wife that did not and hung up.
I felt so much better a few days later when I shared this story with a friend, Karla as I sat in her living room. She pointed to the wall and said, Look I have the same one. Mine did the same thing, but
when I called, they came out and fixed it and charged me 90 or 100 for a service call.
Now I am trying to decide what to spend the 100 on that I saved because we have and honest AC person.
