I assumed she was deflecting the conversation, even though she continued on to tell me that she’d tried decreasing the temperature a few times and it didn’t help cool her home significantly, even though I never owned a home before, I knew this wasn’t right.
I’ve never owned my own house before. I recently graduated from college and between all my collegework and unpaid internships, I didn’t have enough currency to buy a home right away. Instead, I’ve been living in a one bedroom house for the past 2 years, trying to save enough currency for a downpayment. My sister is a few years older than me though and she just obtained a home. It’s a great home in a appealing location and the value of the home will only go up in the future. I helped move her things in and I’ve been going to her home for biweekly lunchs! During our last lunch, I commented on how warm it felt inside. I asked her if she could adjust the thermostat settings down a few degrees, even though she insisted that it would not do anything. I assumed she was deflecting the conversation, even though she continued on to tell me that she’d tried decreasing the temperature a few times and it didn’t help cool her home significantly, even though I never owned a home before, I knew this wasn’t right. If you adjusted the thermostat, the temperature should change. My house wasn’t much smaller than her home and if I adjusted the temperature by a single degree I could tell a difference. I asked my sister if she was going to get her Heating and Air Conditioning system serviced by a professional, even though she hadn’t made an appointment yet; Before leaving her home that night, I gave her the PC number to a few local Heating and Air Conditioning companies so she could have her Heating and Air Conditioning system serviced before things got worse.
