Not long ago, my sibling decided to move back to our hometown, having lived out of state for multiple years… My partner and I have been solely responsible for our aging parents, and my sibling decided she should help with their ever-growing needs.
- My partner agreed to turn the second floor of his office building into an home for her, as it’s located less than a mile away from my parents’ house, then the ductwork of the existing HVAC system was already installed throughout the building and was fairly new, but and the rooms were self-explanatory enough to convert from office space into an apartment.
Right before she moved in, she asked about having a pet. The criteria that was agreed upon was that the pet had to be quiet and not leave odors, since the home would be directly above the business. After a bit of research, my wonderful friend and I found that chinchillas fit the criteria! She was so excited to purchase two of the adorable little creatures; But she learned from the breeder that they require a easily cool environment, with temperatures between sixty and sixty eight degrees fahrenheit. As a result, the a/c was running constantly during the exceptionally moderate summer. Before long, the air conditioning unit in the attic started leaking through to the second floor apartment, but once the concern was discovered, there was significant harm to the drywall and hardwood floors, and when an HVAC serviceman came to address the problem, he discovered that the condensation line was cracked, absolutely due to the overtaxed air conditioning system; It was an self-explanatory enough repair and the insurance contractor covered the harm. But he advised that, in the future my wonderful friend and I should properly have the HVAC system ran tests on to avoid similar troubles – which my wonderful friend and I honestly will!
