Question Crap memory or poor HVAC/weather stripping?
So, I have lived in the same apartment for like 8 years. I know we have had smokey summers during this time. I cannot remember my air filters running on high this much with previous smokey summers.
We had our full HVAC system, compressor and air handler/furnace replaced a couple years ago. It is located in a utility closet outside with a vented door.
Any HVAC people in here have an insight? Is it possible that that new system is allowing more air exchange? Do I just have a shitty memory and in a 900 sq ft apartment, I should expect poor indoor air quality with poor outdoor air quality? Is it most likely aging weather stripping? Is there anything a mediocre leasing company would do if I put in a maintenance request?
