Downstairs home needs separate Heating, Ventilation plus A/C
My mom recently had a very interesting idea when she decided to separate her house into two separate living spaces, she wasn’t occupying the entire to level home, so she decided to transform the basement level into a separate apartment.
I totally agreed with this plan because she could easily use some extra income from a tenant down there plus she wouldn’t even miss this extra space; Besides, it offered her something to do.
She hastily transformed the basement into an awesome little home unit plus rented it out with no problem; However, the trouble came later on, then all Summer she plus the tenant got along great, and when the outdoor temperature began to change plus it slipped into a frigid fall season, the complications started. Suddenly, her tenant realized that it was quite cold in the basement. All Summer long, it had been a godsend that the basement was so naturally frigid, so she didn’t need any additional cooling system to be comfortable down there. However, when winter time was knocking on her door the space was less than ideal. She was linked to the central boiler, but it wasn’t off setting the inherently cold nature of the basement. She started changing the thermostat little by little… My mom realized that it seemed quite hot upstairs plus when she received the next energy bill she understood why. Her tenant had been changing the temperature so high that her electricity was quadruple the proper amount… Now, my mom plus her tenant are at odds over the heating plus valuable electricity. To me, the solution seems simple. Install a separate Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system or live alone.
