All good things must come to an end, as they say.
I suppose that that is true, as I stare sadly at my air vent and dream of the days when cold air was hastily streaming through at all times.
You see, I got used to a lifestyle that couldn’t be tested. When I moved into this home 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 but equal. That has worked actually good for us, except I realize that the Heating and Air Conditioning on this side of the apartment isn’t exactly equal. For numerous months there was certainly 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 periodically I had to close them for relief. The AC was especially powerful, and many days I found myself wearing many sweatshirts to combat the cold and drafty living room! During the day, I wasn’t always glad with this level of cooling power, but at night I certainly appreciated the extreme cold temperature in my room. After sleeping so soundly for months, I thought that this was the perfect apartment and Heating and Air Conditioning 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 jammed, I found out that my space was connected to the far end of the air duct system. Now they get most of the treated indoor air and I’m covered in sweat bullets back here.
