My shop has one customer that over the years his dementia got worse and he will call my phone say something like "Unit isn't working right", i'll go over there and its working fine. Happened to other techs at my company with the same customer. It's a sad situation thinking that his dementia is getting that bad and he lives by himself. People like that need 24/7 care.
That is a sad situation. Even more sad is that he lives by himself with no one to help him, that's rough! If I knew a neighbor of mine was going through this, I'd have to constantly check up on them.
Ok I’ve been doing this for such a long time now one thing I’ve learned NEVER put a complicated thermostat on for these elderly people. It confuses them. Then someone has to go back and either just put a simple thermostat on that should have been done to start with, or try and educate them and hope and pray they get it. I realize they seem simple to us, the T6 ect. But I do my best to use a Honeywell pro 3000 or something like that. It’s easier to have a switch that sais heat, and cool ect as apposed to having to hit mode, or whatever. Fan on one way off the other way. I hate some of those thermostats for this reason. I ALWAYS try to keep it as simple as possible so I’m not running back and forth chasing Rabbits.
We service p-tac units at the nursing home I work at ,and we cannot get people to understand that setting the fan to the on position, does not work with the compressor all the time,have to set the fan on auto to work with the system. Job security 😊
The home my MIL was in had p-tacs with heat and cool buttons (didn't switch automatically, but most of them don't). Unfortunately, she never did figure that out, and would just try to change the temperature settings, so her room would often be very cold, or very hot, during fall and spring.
Just remember whether a person is sitting at a desk in an office building or in front of the TV for a few hours, their body temp will drop and any draft will make them feel cold. More so when the visiting son screws around with an unfamiliar thermostat turns the fan on continuous.
Who pays you for that call? Looks like an apartment/condo type residence. Landlords won’t be happy to catch that bill I would guess? Sounds like the mother and son called. Just curious C Dog. Thx

".....I know I didn't misunderstand you...." That's southern polite speak for " You didn't tell me the truth". 😝
That’s why I like regular non programmable thermostats
Thermostat manufacturers need to use the KISS rule. “Keep it simple, stupid”
Its called using the "Hold" mode, fan on Auto and the Heat/Cold slider, which is what we use exclusively.

This lady’s home is very neat and tidy. She seems to be managing things.
@@Goodfella0982 for sure
@@softwarephil1709 yeah it looks that way. Good to see.
You could almost be a policeman with that knock; must deal a lot with the hearing impaired. 😊
I want to make sure they know I’m there
This is a LOT neater home than some you go to.
They make a digital version of the T87 every one of my old people love them because it just like the old mercury ones, lowers the confusion
Jason, Adrian, and myself say Hook'em Horns! 🐃🐃
Hmmm 🤘
I leave the Furnace Fan on LOW in both Heat and Cool Modes 24x7, 365 days. Fan Motors are made to Run, Not Shut Off, On, Off, On. 🤔👍

That house does not look like the ones you normally service😎 is too clean 😂

Big game tonight, yes, with my Longhorns. I live outside Austin. 🏈
Georgia has the potential to win. I’m just not sure it’ll be there.
