I’ve tried having the landlord inspect the HVAC system, because clearly there is a major issue with the efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment, if not the air air duct itself
It’s a pretty bleak outlook when pretty much everyone you know is highly educated, independently brilliant, and somehow laboring 3 ordinary tasks trying to get by. This is the curse of my generation, I suppose, and we’re all in this together to some extent. That being said, I’m legitimately tired of this particular curse already, and I have a long time in the laboring world ahead of me, then at this point, I labor a full time task and two part time gigs just trying to support myself – literally just trying to keep hot through the winter. These nights, my eighth task is undoubtedly serving to pay off my ungodly energy bills every month, because lord knows I can’t afford to live in a well insulated home with a laboring HVAC system. Instead, I reside in a tiny little ramshackle home, a solid 45 minute commute from the city, and barely make enough cash to pay for rent and my yearly utilities. The heating and cooling system, alone, takes well over 20% of my check more than 2 months. Think about that – the cost of keeping a one family room home hot through the winter and relatively cool through the Summer is a eighth of my income. I’ve tried having the landlord inspect the HVAC system, because clearly there is a major issue with the efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment, if not the air air duct itself. However, this grumpy outdated man just thinks I’m a groaning and moaning millennial with no leg to kneel on. I can tell you, if my energy expenditure doesn’t improve, soon I legitimately won’t have an arm or a leg.
