It’s hard for me to believe that I really didn’t understand the impact the HVAC has on our health. Even more surprising is the fact that I had no real idea how much indoor air quality affected my health. That’s really surprising since I have always been the sort who is on top of my health. Since I was a kid, I’d rather be outside the air conditioning running around or going swimming. The older I became, the more into fitness I got. I think I’ve been working out inside the commercial HVAC of a gym since I was in college. Still, I didn’t know how essential good indoor air quality is. And I didn’t know that our heating and cooling equipment can play a big role. It took the pandemic for me to really put two and two together there. Once I understood what I could do to improve the indoor air quality, I wasn’t waiting around. The first thing I could do was pretty easy. I replaced the cheap HVAC air filters I’d been using forever. In its place went the HEPA filter. This thing is able to trap and remove more than 99 percent of all airborne contaminants. That’s an immediate improvement. But for me, I really was looking to get the very best indoor air quality possible. For that, I needed to seek the advice of the indoor air experts. I scheduled an appointment with an HVAC professional from the HVAC company I’ve used since buying this house. They introduced me to the whole home air purification system. That’s what I’m saving up for now. Once that air purifier is installed inside the HVAC unit, I’ll have the very best indoor air quality.
