For the longest time I could not figure out why my living room didn’t seem to have good airflow.
I recently moved into this apartment and I was quite pleased with the place.
There’s plenty of room for me and my dog as we are the only tenants. I have a pretty decent sized living room, a kitchenette, a small dining room, a full bathroom and a small back porch as well as a washer and dryer room. Every other room in my apartment has perfectly fine air flow. The landlord told me that the heating and air conditioning system in my particular apartment was very recently installed. Again, it seemed to work perfectly in other parts of the apartment except for the living room. One weekend, I got so frustrated with the fact that it was hot and stuffy in my living room that I called out to the HVAC man to take a look at what the problem might be. I explained to him that I was having the problem exclusively in the living room. To my chagrin, it did not take him long to figure out the problem. He took a look around the living room and then started moving my couch. I asked him what he was doing but he continued to silently move the couch until a vent appeared behind the couch. I slapped my hand to my forehead and he calmly explained that vents need to be kept clear of furniture in order to maintain good airflow in a room. I was very grateful that he did not charge me for the visit!
