Default Builder forgot a heating vent...

Is this a joke? Did you use this bedroom during the winter? Why didn't you
get this taken care of immediately? Did YOU not notice the problem right
away?- Hide quoted text -

This is what happened. There is a large bedroom window. There is a
heat
vent on one edge of the window which heats up one side of the room
nicely.
However, there should be another vent on the other edge of the
window. That
is how the model homes have it. And that is how my next door neighbor
who
has the same floor plan as me has it. This was my first winter and I
realized that even with the heat on I was cold because my bed lies on
the
other edge of the window where the heat vent is missing.

I made mention of this 30 days after I took possesion but the builder
told
me that it was probably only supposed to have one vent. I now know
that
that's a bunch of BS because every master bedroom should have 2
vents. Plus
the builder representative who did the 30 day inspection with me
didn't
really say concretely that he knew for sure if there was only supposed
to be
one vent.

And even if there was only supposed to be one vent then they should
have
centered it over the window instead of putting it on the edge.

Bottom line. My adjoining neighbor with the same floorplan has 2
vents.
The model homes with the same floorplan have 2 vents. All other units
I've
seen have 2 vents.

The HVAC guy who's coming next week better not give me a hard time.
