I couldn’t figure out why it was so cold in our house.
I didn’t notice it at first.
I was seeing a horror movie on TV. I thought the chills I was feeling was due to the fear I was feeling. But after the movie ended I got up from the couch and noticed that it was absolutely freezing cold in our house. I constantly have the thermostat set to 69 degrees all the time so it shouldn’t have been so cold. I got up to check the thermostat and it was 69 degrees! However, I noticed that the air conditioning system was running constantly. It hadn’t turned off since before the movie. Then I figured out why, and my roommate’s living room door was wide open. My roommate was at toil and she usually keeps her room door closed. This month was an exception. My roommate also uses a space furnace in her room to stay warm because she is constantly cold. I should also mention that our thermostat is just outside of our roommates room. So this heated air was hitting our thermostat for the past few hours. Because of this, our thermostat had kept the air conditioning system on. After I closed the living room door the air conditioning system finally kicked off and the house started more than 2 warm back up a bit. I’m not looking forward to our electric bill this month though. If it is too high I am going to ask our roommate to spend our money part of it. Afterall, she is the a single who left her room door open with the furnace on.
