I didn’t get it but he smiled and said it was obviously the fact that my laundry room was becoming overheated.
I briefly remember thinking it was odd that the thermostat in my rental house was located in the laundry room. But it was something that I forgot about because I don’t typically adjust the temperature control settings that often. Anyway, I started noticing that whenever I was doing laundry, the rest of the house would become kind of cold. I was wondering if I had some issue with the ductwork or something, but I didn’t think about the obvious answer to my problem. Eventually, I called a friend over and asked if he could help me solve the issue. I told him how sometimes it was too cold even when I would crank the temperature control settings on the thermostat. And then it would be too hot and I would have to lower the temperature control settings. This was driving me crazy. Then he asked me where the thermostat was and I told him it was in the laundry room. He then asked if I was using the dryer, and I mentioned how I had to use it a lot lately because I was helping my mother dry her clothes because her dryer wasn’t working. Then my buddy looked at me for a moment to see if anything was clicking. I didn’t get it but he smiled and said it was obviously the fact that my laundry room was becoming overheated. He said the exhaust was probably not connected all the way, but even if it were, I would still have a slightly overheated laundry room. Well, he was right, it was hot in there. He said if I wanted to fix this issue, I would have to move the thermostat to a smarter location.
