Purchase a 2nd thermostat and mount it in a hidden place the wife won't find. Then run the control wires to the hidden stat. The wife can tinker to her hearts content and you can keep the house comfortable.
She will be warm or cool and be comfortable by what she dials into the decoy stat.

Can you rig it to make fan come on but nor compressor? My CEO is too sharp for that. I'd hate to live in the state of constant confusion my thermostat goes through daily. Too hot....Too cold....Too hot.....

To men chocolate just just another flavour. To women chocolate is an "experience". Want to please a man? Just show up naked. Want to make it extra special? Bring along some beer.

Yes, and in my experience, staying a bachelor would have been a good idea, and a LOT cheaper, too.

Like a friend of mine says, "I've always wanted a wife, but never one of my own!"

Wouldn't work around here either. My wife doesn't really "fiddle" with it - she just figures out what all it can do and plays with the functions (it's one of those new fangled fancy programable ones). She has it set where she wants it now and don't mess with it no more. She'd figure out the dummy REAL quick - ME for trying a stunt like that! When I married her in 1991 she was 21 - never had running water, never had a Driver's Licence, an never set down in front of a computer. Now she can rip into the computer box like a pro and I"M the one who's lost! I just keep to my old iron, and it's almost to high tech for me!

Been there, done that, and, yes, it DOES work well.

You're not giving your wife much credit for operating the system in your house. She'll soon realize it isn't working and then she'll phone the air conditioning guy who will come out and check things out, then a $150 bill to fix nothing, then he'll find the fake setup and still want his $150 and she'll know what you're up to and you'll be duck soup etc. And there goes that next tractor you had your heart set on. Your life is going to be miserable. Better just rip out the whole sheebang and run around with no clothes on, that should get some results.

I'm glad to see this is a common problem....They always know everything but you can't make them understand something simple like no matter how low or high you turn the dial the A/C is only gonna work at "one speed". If it's 75 in the house and you want it at 70 turning it down to 60 isn't gonna make it reach there any faster...and the same goes in reverse..... .....Now where can I find to hide a new one?????

Wayne,

Although women are notorious for trying to "speed up" the furnace or A/C by cranking the thermostat, I've seen men do the same thing

I remember visiting a guy once. His apartment was freezing, and he kept going to the thermostat and cranking it up. I checked out his furnace and found out that the pilot was out and wouldn't stay lit. He "oh well, I'll have to call maintenance tomorrow and get it fixed." Then he went back to the thermostat and turned it up some more! This was a guy with a degree in physics!

Yep, they turn the AC way down because they are hot. I have come home and found the AC and the fire logs on at the same time. I used to light up like a firecracker bout stuff like that. It doesn't do much good. Dummy thermostat sounds like the way to go.

She may as well. Her present last Christmas was to have me neutered.
