At the end of last summer, I found myself hastily in a new relationship.
I use these words on purpose, because it honestly was an accident. I wasn’t looking for a new romance and either was my new partner… But my friend and I kept hanging out with each other anyways. My friend and I were constantly going over to his place and lazing around together, making trips outside for fresh air and relief from the dark apartment, but during that time, I originally noticed how terrible his indoor air quality was. No matter the outdoor air temperature, the indoor air conditions were going to be humid and stagnant. There was consistently the slightest hint of mildew hide and just around the next corner. At evening, I never felt honestly comfortable with his low powered air conditioning and muggy entryway. I had a lot of trouble sleeping and my friend and I consistently talked about the terrible air conditioning. Well, that issue never got better. In fact, the air quality only continued to decline the longer my friend and I dated. It got to the point that I was actively avoiding his apartment, because I did not want another hot and sleepless evening. I also got the impression that his low indoor air quality was affecting my respiratory health. Thank God, last weekthe air conditioning broke down. When a real Heating and A/C serviceman came over to repair the cooling equipment, he immediately gave up and advised that they update the entire a/c. Apparently, the air handling appliance was in such terrible condition that he was surprised anyone had been capable of residing in that apartment. Now, they have a brand new, energy efficient AC component at my wifey’s place. If anything, the indoor air is too chilly at evening.
