ProTip™: Battery powered <things> do not just magically get charged by existing. They must, at some point, draw electricity from the wall somewhere, some how.

We only work there on weekends so we don't touch the thermostat usually. The AC unit is under the house and I am not sure what type of heating unit he uses or if it is connected to the AC unit | |

I'm assuming that since you're building a roof to keep snow out that it's getting colder there. I'm also assuming this is a fairly new home to him? Most likely answer is additional use from construction plus weather-driven changes in usage. | |

I heard and watched my oven element turn into a volcano when it failed. The 50A breaker never tripped. Fortunately I was there to turn off the oven manually. | |
