Indoor air quality is sort of a modern concept to me.
And there were plenty of misconceptions when it came to air pollutants that had to be erased.
I just figured that since I lived out in the country, the air in our home was super clean. The air outside is super scrub so it only made sense to me that the air quality was good. What compounded that misunderstanding was the fact that I regularly change the air filter on the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C each month. And each month, I see dirt as well as dust on the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C air filter. Again, our mind goes right to the fact that this air filter was definitely cleaning the air since it was catching dirt as well as dust. For sure, there are HEPA filters out there that are actively cleaning the air. But I never spent the money on those. My air filters were just protecting the health of the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment. So when our dentist advocated that I get our Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C HVAC ducts cleaned because she suspected bad air quality, I was confused. I’d had a series of colds as well as stuff that lingered. So the dentist said I should improve the air quality with HVAC duct cleaning. I did what she said as well as was so satisfied at the results. Not only did our respiratory stuff clear up as well as not come back. I ended up saving money on Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C utility costs due to the HVAC duct resealing after the HVAC duct cleaning was done. I didn’t have a clue just how much Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C treated air was getting wasted due to all the gaps in our dirty HVAC ducts.
