HVAC system stopped a household menace
It’s taxing for myself and my siblings to even visit our mother anymore.
She’s in her seventies now, but living on her own and in good shape both cognitively and physically.
However, now that dad is gone, she has gone even deeper into a near hoarding mentality. My mother had a junk room inside the central air conditioner of our beach cabin by the time I was old enough to have memories. And she tried her best to expand all that junk storage to anywhere else she could. But our dad was consistently a counterbalance to this obsession with stuff. Now that dad is gone our mother’s entire cabin is just filled with stuff, and it’s not a pleasant place to be. So when my fiance tried to make a guest room into a junk room, I went all in on stopping that from happening. She told myself and others that the heating, ventilation and A/C just didn’t reach that room like it should, since it was at the end of the air duct. There was some truth to what she said, although I sure wasn’t going down the storing of useless junk road as an adult in our own home. So I called the heating, ventilation and A/C contractor and they came out and were able to tweak our existing heating, ventilation and A/C machine to provide zone controlled heating, ventilation and A/C to our home. Now, there is a thermostat right outside that room, so it gets whatever quality heating and air my associate and I choose. Thankfully, that was enough for us to stop the junk room in its tracks. Now if I could only do the same thing to our mom’s locale. But no amount of heating and cooling replacement would save that space at this point.
