Sometimes I really want to tell people to back off and treat me with a little respect.
- I know that I am a relatively young and attractive woman, but I don’t think that that makes it appropriate for people to talk to me like I’m stupid.
In fact, I am extremely well educated and accomplished in my professional career. This is why I did not need any kind of lecture from my service professional when it came to indoor air quality last week. I am already aware that my heating and cooling system is not the best one on the block. When I moved into this house the air conditioning unit was already at least 10 years old. I was told that the forced air furnace was probably closer to 15. I realized that I was going to have to put in a lot of work to keep my heating and cooling system in usable shape before I could afford a full upgrade of my indoor air handling devices. It wasn’t going to be easy but if I was careful I could reduce the wear and tear on my heating and cooling system. I just needed to arrange the proper HVAC technician appointment and keep my thermostat programming conservative. When my HVAC worker came out the other day to inspect my heating and cooling system I was disappointed with his condescending tone about my air filters. I have been buying a bargain brand online rather than splurging on HEPA filtration devices like usual. Perhaps my air filters aren’t the best air quality control measures on the market, but either is my entire central heating and cooling system.
