A real wake-up call, living in an apartment.
For more than 30 years, I haven’t resided in an apartment.
For not having a shared wall with my neighbors for so long is a very long time. Well, my neighbors and I also have a shared floor and ceiling. My only regret is that I am not also providing excellent heating and air. We sold our old house and moved into an apartment after upgrading the HVAC system there. To find the ideal balance of HVAC technology and dependable heating and cooling equipment, I worked with the HVAC contractor for a few hours. To improve our home’s value, I wanted to upgrade to a new residential HVAC system. At the same time, I didn’t want to keep spending a ton of money that wouldn’t benefit me in any way. And that brand-new HVAC upgrade was absolutely stunning. I loved it, and I did right up until our last day there. Our rental situation hasn’t been like that in the past. However, I believe that will eventually change. Dealing with the small space and sharing walls with strangers is difficult enough. I drew the line at handling HVAC machinery that was present the last time I was in an apartment, though. We are finally installing new heating and cooling systems in this apartment after months of nagging the rental company. The heat pump has almost always broken down more often than it has ever worked. I finally sent a report to the complex owner after having my own HVAC expert write it up here. We will now have effective air conditioning this summer because it did its job.
