I work totally online from home.
On one hand it is really nice not setting an alarm, getting dressed, packing a lunch, and driving to work. I actually don’t even own a car. I go by bike or use delivery services whe I need something. The weather in Sioux Falls does limit me a bit though. So most of the time I have to pay for someone to bring it to me. Being at home is great because I can’t get laundry done, start the dishwasher, and hire out services. I am always at the house. I have been able to save on HVAC expenses too. I made a smart decision and called up my Sioux Falls HVAC corporation. I told them about my situation and asked what I could do about my HVAC. They capped off the ductwork in my office. I then had a mini-split installed with a smart thermostat. So now my office is on a program. Right at the beginning of my work day the HVAC turns on before I step foot in there. Right when I am about to conclude, it powers down. The rest of my house isn’t getting any HVAC since I don’t leave the office. When I am done with work, I go outside. So that means for about nine hours I am only providing HVAC to a single space. I save so much money doing this. My home HVAC unit is going to last a lot longer. Most of the time it only takes my house an hour to get back to a normal temperature after being off all day. Isn’t that nice?
