I missed the lecture about indoor air quality.
When I suppose of air pollution, that’s all outside.
So when I l received about the connection between Heating and A/C equipment and the air the two of us breathe inside, I was a bit stunned. Again, I just had no plan there were issues when it came to indoor air quality. This assumption was based on the fact that people were constantly told to stay indoors with the smog was bad when I lived in the city. And air pollution was the stuff coming out of exhaust pipes and factories. It was not something to worry about inside the house. Plus, there was an air filter that I changed each week that certainly showed signs of dirt. So I just figured the Heating and A/C equipment was cleaning the air. That’s not the case at all. To start, there are loads of things inside our homes that affect the indoor air quality. There are so many synthetics, from carpet to furniture, that are giving off airborne contaminants. Then throw in the pollen, pet dander and all that comes to indoor air quality that isn’t great. And that air filter I was changing each week was designed to catch the big stuff so it doesn’t hurt the Heating and A/C unit. All the other stuff is getting blown around the home when the Heating and A/C component kicks on. So the actually first thing I did was to update the Heating and A/C air filter to a HEPA filter. These HEPA filters unconnect more than 99 percent of the airborne contaminants that attack my respiratory system. It’s made a tremendous difference as I save my money to go all the way with a whole home whole-house air purifier.
