Sometimes there are super simple solutions to things that aren’t working well, but they take a little extra time and effort to figure out.
That being said, if someone is trying to offer you new information to resolve an ongoing issue, why not just listen to them? I have this problem all the time. No one in this family ever listens to me. They only want to keep doing what they do – living the same way they always have. And that’s still the case, even if it’s an inefficient, dirty, and unreliable way to live. In my home, there are a lot of issues with indoor air handling devices. We manage to avoid a lot of family drama over the heating, cooling, and air quality control equipment at our home, but that’s because we won’t talk about our respective temperature preferences. My parents control the heating, cooling, and air quality control settings and you’d sincerely better not say a word about how the air temperature setting fits with your own temperature needs. They never want to invest in our indoor air temperature solutions, and therefore, we aren’t even allowed to touch the temperature control device. For years, I’ve been telling my family about zone controlled heating and cooling as a way to reduce our thermostat reliance and energy bills each month, not to mention the amount of screaming we do around here… but no one listens. Instead, my parents continually call the HVAC company to keep up with the outdoor climate changes and pay for a ton of professional repair appointments. It took one of our HVAC techs to mention zone controlled heating and cooling before they considered making the change.
