Aunt wants to visit… with HVAC conditions

She asked me if I could have an air media purifier installed in the house before she visited and recommended several expensive HEPA air filters to purchase

I was delighted a few weeks ago and my aunt contacted me out of the blue and said that she wanted to come and stay with me. My family never comes and visits me where I live and I have considered it to be out of bounds to ask them to come. It seems like nobody wants to make the trek down south and they have a lot of negative opinions about the area where I live. That’s why it was heartwarming when an extended family member acted as though she wanted to see me. The only problem was, her visit started to come with a lot of conditions. Literally, air conditions. Before my aunt even set a possible visitation date, she began asking me about my indoor air handling devices. I thought it was strange that she was so interested in my heating and cooling equipment, but I also wanted to give her all of the temperature information she might need. There’s no doubt, I live in a hot and humid environment with air quality conundrums that causes people to have terrible allergies. I thought it was only fair to give her the honest truth; my heating and cooling system is 10 years old, my air conditioning unit is entirely inefficient, and I have uneven hot and cold patches in my house sometimes. My aunt immediately started nitpicking over my HVAC maintenance plan and the age of my heating and cooling appliances. She asked me if I could have an air media purifier installed in the house before she visited and recommended several expensive HEPA air filters to purchase. I started to get a weird vibe about the whole thing. And then, she mentioned that her lease wasn’t being renewed and she might need to stay for longer than a few days. Ah, I see.
