Hi, I’m Nathan. I’ve worked as an HVAC technician for over 10 years, and I spend a lot of time in basements, utility rooms, garages, and home offices where surge protectors live their whole lives under desks and behind TVs. Here’s what I can tell you from seeing the results firsthand: surge protectors wear out … Read more
Nathan here. I’ve been an HVAC technician for over 10 years, and I’ve walked a lot of homeowners through this exact situation, like more times than I can count. If your Honeywell thermostat is stuck on Permanent Hold , it usually means the thermostat is basically ignoring your saved program, and it keeps one temperature … Read more
