hi.
the one on top of the couch. i think this is the third time, now.
i
just want to clarify that i really require the heat on because of the
a/c upstairs. i understand that the upstairs tenant has weight problems
and needs for it to be unreasonably cool, but that absolutely requires
me to turn the heat on to compensate. otherwise, the conditions down
here would be equivalent to a meat locker. even opening the window has
no effect. i've tried reducing the heat on multiple occasions and i've
found myself in really dangerous situations. i've woken up shivering,
for example. clammy skin. it's like living inside a fridge. yes, it's
unpleasant. but, it's worse - it's dangerous.
you have
to keep in mind that the listed temperature on the thermostat becomes
somewhat meaningless in the face of the refrigeration. it's like the
wind chill effect, or the humidity effect. they'll say it's 27 degrees,
but feels like 40 with the humidity. if i turn the heat off, the
thermostat will say 27 degrees but it will feel like 18 with the a/c.
it's
the summer. i like it in the mid to high 20s. i feel i have every right
to enjoy that and that if he needs the a/c on so high that it
overpowers it then he's liable to compensate that through electrical
costs.
so, i'm sorry - but i need that device replaced
yet again. i'm going to go ask paul, but i know he'll need to call you
anyways. and, so i again need to suggest that something be done about
the electrical, which probably includes finding a way to either turn his
a/c down or put it on a separate circuit.
(pause)
it just came back, but now it's frozen on full blast at 43 degrees celsius, which is obviously unsafe....
(pause)
it's
back off again. i've explained to paul that it is probably a fire
hazard, but he said he'll wait to call ryan in the morning.
(pause)
i don't know if it will come on and off or not, but at least it seems to be shutting itself off when it overloads
(pause)
.....and
now it's back on again, so that's what's happening. it's in a loop. it
comes on, it overloads, it shuts off, it comes on, it overloads, it
shuts off - and it's frozen, i can't do anything.
