Have you ever observed that smell that constantly lingers in houses when they have not been occupied recently? Every cabin has its own particular smell, however they all begin to smell stagnant and stale when humans have not been residing there.
- It’s a actually distinct, nerve-wracking sensation when you walk into a modern cabin and it smells abandoned.
I particularly hate how quickly this smell sets into my own home. I can be gone for 8 hours at work, and return it to find that the cabin has a choir that musty unoccupied smell. I cannot sit it! I do not know why the air quality decreases so quickly while I’m gone, because I have the central heating and cooling system running most of the time. It seems like there should be enough airflow and ventilation to stir up the stagnant air and reduce the unusual smell. I have tried changing out my air filters several times, hoping that this would help to decrease the unlucky stagnant smell, then however, nothing seems to work. I finally called up my local Heating, Ventilation plus A/C specialist and asked what I could do to improve the air quality in my home, starting with the smell. He recommended that I change up my central heating and cooling system by installing a return vent. This is a simple measure that pulls in as much air from the outside as it pumps out inside. This effectively replenishes your fresh air in the cabin as the high quality treated air circulates through your air ducts. Rather than breathing the same aged are afternoon after afternoon, you actively refresh the stagnant indoor air.It’s a simple upgrade procedure and my budget for this project isn’tactually high. I’m on board. I shall do anything to split down on this empty cabin smell!
