You would think that when you live in an apartment building, everyone would have the same heating or air conditioning.
I can tell you that isn’t the case.
My apartment doesn’t get nearly as much air conditioning as the apartment next to me. I was jealous of their air conditioning. I used every reason I could think of to visit my neighbors, because I had cool air for a few minutes. My apartment wasn’t hot, but it was warmer than anywhere else I had been in the building. I called the maintenance man and told him about the air conditioning. He said he didn’t have any complaints from anyone else, so he thought maybe it was just me. I wanted him to come look at the air vents and see if there was anything wrong. He wasn’t happy to be called, but I needed more air conditioning. When he got to my apartment, he looked at the thermostat, but it was working well. He then checked the air vents. He said they were really dirty and was going to vacuum them out. Half an hour later, he was back with an industrial vacuum cleaner. The more he sucked out, the more he was finding in the air vent. He asked if I was having a beach party here. He didn’t know the air ducts were that dirty. He said I would need to take what I had because he had to call the HVAC company and get the ductwork cleaned before I had more air conditioning. I would gladly wait if it was going to be cooler in my apartment.
