The Temperature These Days is Too Inconsistent

I consistently find this time of year to be honestly hard when heating and cooling our house.

The temperature is so inconsistent that it’s taxing to keep our house at a comfortable and consistent temperature.

I like the cooler weather during the end of the Summer because it’s a nice change after intense heat and humidity, but, it makes things challenging on our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. During the early afternoons, I have to turn our oil furnace on because our house is freezing. A few minutes after waking up though, I have to turn our oil furnace off because the temperature is perfect outside and I’m able to cool our apartment naturally. During this time, I officially open some windows to let the fresh air circulate inside. By dinnertime, I have to shut all the windows and turn on the a/c because it’s too hot. My a/c will run for a few minutes and then I’m back to turning on our oil furnace because the temperature begins to drop around dinnertime. It’s a constant cycle that lasts for almost a month. I don’t think the inconsistent temperature helps with our energy consumption either because I’m consistently needing to power something on or off. My a/c and oil furnace need to completely reboot after they’ve been turned off for multiple minutes and that requires a lot of energy. I find myself longing for a consistent temperature so that I can leave our oil furnace or a/c on so our house isn’t a odd temperature every time.
