Roomies covered air vents… now that they’re open, air quality suffers

All nice things must come to an end, as they say.

I suppose that that’s true, as I stare sadly at my air vent and dream of the days when chilly air was hastily streaming through at all times.

You see, I got used to a lifestyle that couldn’t be took care of. When I moved into this house with a few roommates, my pal and I decided to split the residence in two. I took the back half of the house, and they took the front half. Separate however equal. That has worked entirely wonderful for us, except I realize that the Heating & A/C on this side of the house isn’t exactly equal. For several months there was honestly no problem with my indoor air quality. Every day, I could hear the heating or cooling system chugging along, and there was so much high-quality heated air coming through my air vents that sometimes I had to close them for relief. The AC was especially powerful, and many days I found myself wearing numerous sweatshirts to combat the chilly and drafty home office, but during the day, I wasn’t consistently blissful with this level of cooling power, however at night I honestly enjoyed the extreme chilly temperature in my room. After sleeping so soundly for months, I thought that this was the perfect house and Heating & A/C system for me. And then, my roommates opened their air vents. Apparently, whenever my pal and I moved in, the air vents had been completely closed in the front half of the house. No one ever realized it, because the outdoor temperature was pretty mild. As the heat and humidity increased, however, it became uncomfortable in their rooms. When they finally realized that their air vents had been congested, I found out that my space was linked to the far end of the air duct system. Now they get most of the treated indoor air and I’m dripping with sweat bullets back here.
