The Contrast

The difference hasn’t gone unnoticed

There’s a stark contrast in the comfortability level in the building

While living in Brampton, it was cold.

Bone chilling cold

ALL THE TIME

During the winter, the heat stayed off during the day

The only time it came on was the overnight

The only other exception was when it went below -5°C.

During the summer, the AC was left to run continuously

Even on days where it cold, rainy and dreary – days that could have meant the AC be given a rest – the AC was running without stopping. On such days, when it was a comfortable & cool outside, it’d be freezing inside. It felt like a meat locker.

Fast forward to just over a year later

It’s a comfortably cool day outside. The result of a rainy day.

Is the AC on? No

Are the windows open? Yes

Is it comfortable? Yes

No AC running nonstop

No portable heaters running to keep us warm

No knocking on the upstairs door, asking that the AC be turned off, only to be told ‘Deal with it!’

Just windows wide open with a random, gentle breeze coming in
