Roommates and Heating Drama

I suggested we call an HVAC technician to come take a look, and see if there was anything he could do to help our current situation

College was obviously one of the most fun times of my life. I enjoyed all of my classes, and lived in a 3 bedroom 3 bath house…with 5 other people. THis meant that everyone had a roommate, which was ok for the most part, except for when adult women acted pettily, which did happen relatively often. My roommate and I were the only downstairs room, and had to wake up early most often since we were both student-athletes. This usually wasn’t a big deal, except for when our roommates would throw racause parties on every single day of the week. Additionally, the heating and thermostat were a huge source of tension. For whatever reason, when the HVAC unit would be turned on for either heating or cooling, the pipes in the ceiling of our room would drip droplets of water in the night. Creating an almost silent sound of dripping water, that you would be certain you weren’t hearing until the heat ir air condition was turned off. A battle ensued, of heating being turned on and off during the winter, and the air conditioning being passive aggressively turned off and on during the summer. No one was sleeping, and everyone was constantly watching our only HVAC unit almost obsessively every single night. Finally I broke down and called a house meeting. I suggested we call an HVAC technician to come take a look, and see if there was anything he could do to help our current situation. He went in and listened to our pipes when our HVAC unit was on, and then said we needed to replace out entire piping system. Our landlord declined to email us back, so we had to tough it out. Luckily, we all grew much more civil with one another.
