Whole home air purifiers vs the central air conditioning

Now that the weather is cooling down, how can I improve the air quality in my home? I’ve considered buying a whole home air purifying system, but is it worth the investment? Whole home air cleaners are designed to work with your HVAC system to filter out harmful particles from the air.

  • HEPA filters are the most effective type of air cleaner.

They can remove most particles 0.3 microns or greater. Dust, pollen and pet dander are among the things they are great for removing from the air. But whole home air cleaners are more overpriced than oil furnace filters or gas furnace filters. So if you want to improve the air quality in your home, it’s important to evaluate the pros and cons before making a decision. I like to run my central HVAC system with its HEPA filter to clean the air in my home. However, I’ve been wondering if it is really getting all the dust from the air. I need to buy one of those ppm meters, so that I can measure the air quality, but I just spent a chunk of cash on some sound equipment for my musical gigs, so that is going to have to wait for a while. I guess I could buy a smaller portable air cleaner, like the one my old roommate had, that used an ionizer to remove the debris from the air in the flat. I could contact him to see how much it cost and if it was worth it in the long run, vs running the HVAC system.

Time to disappear into You Tube land for a bit

As the weather cools down, are you considering turning on your oil furnace or air conditioner. Before you do, you may want to consider replacing your old air filter with an up-to-date HEPA filter. Designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles, HEPA filters are an excellent choice for folks with dust irritations or asthma! In addition, HEPA filters can help to improve the air quality in your home & reduce your energy costs. If you have an electric heating or cooling system, a HEPA filter can also help to extend its lifespan by preventing dust & dirt from build-up. It also helps a lot keeping the unit clean if you suffer from dust irritations like I do. I’ve had nights where I couldn’t stop sneezing and I had to get out of bed to clean my filter in the middle of the night. It isn’t fun work to begin with, and imagine doing it at 4 a.m. when you just went to bed shortly before. After that night, I will never go back to a normal filter again for our HVAC program. With so many benefits, it’s no wonder HEPA filters are becoming increasingly popular, so if it’s time for an up-to-date air filter, be sure to choose a HEPA filter for your home. You and your family will be glad you did, and you will save a lot of money on tissues from not having to blow your nose constantly. Just imagine the HEPA filter as a Kleenex for your HVAC system.

HVAC equipment – why even bother?

I am going to write about heating and cooling systems, but please hang on for a moment, as I ask: Why do some people accomplish so much in life while others just get by? I’ve been pursuing the arts for the past 20 years, and I often wonder if it is all worth the struggle when in the end, nobody will remember us or what we did.

I could build a substantial HVAC company only to see it disappear in the end when I retire.

Why not take an unimportant job and just get by? I think it comes down to when you are alive, and how achieving things gives you a feeling of accomplishment. If you do nothing your whole life you would actually lead a boring life, so why not do something while you’re here so you guess great while you are alive? I’ve run my own company for 10 years; then I shut it down, and I am sure everyone has forgotten about it but me. It did open doors for me; I used the money to travel and buy a couple houses. If I didn’t start as an HVAC supplier, and just worked as a janitor for a school, I may not have had the experience I’ve had with traveling around the world. I still have a lot I want to do with my musical act, and I am hoping I live long enough to have some fun with it. I also am still now working in the HVAC field doing HVAC installs & repairs but I only work part time now.

Resting tonight, instead of playing sports

I’m going to play drums tonight instead of playing ball.

My knees have been in pain for a while, from just playing way too often. I have 55 year-old knees, and they have been through a lot over the years, so I need to be a little more patient with them now. I think most of the damage came from skydiving years ago, as I was a swooper, and had a lot of hard landings. I take many supplements for the pain, and to keep our joints working well, but nothing beats rest. HVAC maintenance and service calls have been our work for the last few years, and I use my knees a lot when I am now working. Sometimes I have to squat and bend over for minutes, so my knees and back can go through a lot of strain on a tied-up workday. I try not to take pain pills when now working a lot for the local supplier because too many pills is a lot of work for the kidneys and liver. I will try to explore more natural pain relievers, like turmeric, when I’m feeling pain, so that my liver and kidneys don’t get overloaded. Next week, I am installing a whole home air cleaner in an apartment that is on an upper floor, without an elevator, so I am going to have to carry it up all those flights of stairs by myself. This is another reason that I am resting our knees and back more this weekend. I should be good in a couple days.

Finding help for air duct cleaning

HVAC professionals are highly-trained professionals who know how to correctly clean air ducts.

While it is possible to do it yourself, it is generally not recommended. HVAC companies have the necessary tools and parts to do the work right, and they can also supply you with a warranty in case something goes wrong. If you decide to clean your air ducts yourself, make sure you use a HEPA filter; when installing a up-to-date filter, this will help to remove any particles that could potentially be harmful to your health. Also, make sure that you turn off the power to your HVAC system before beginning the cleaning process; once you have finished cleaning, you can restore the power, and then enjoy clean, fresh air in your home. I like to have the local company come out and do the cleaning for me, because my knees hurt if I am bent over for too long, and also my back tends to ache a lot when bending over too long. I’ve used this HVAC supplier near me before to clean the air ducts; they did a great job, and had it done in one day! I felt so much better once they were clean, as I am sensitive to dust, and before they were cleaned, I was consistently suffering from sneezing attacks. I think installing the HEPA filter also made a substantial difference, and I will regularly use a HEPA filter from now on. I don’t think I will need to have them come back and clean the ducts for a while, so I should be all set now.

I appreciate having good music in my life

During my time in private school, I learned how to play many instruments. Every single time I tried to practice songs before concerts, both of us were forced to meet in the same single area. I have to say that I appreciate going to this place to practice my songs. The heating was absolutely unbelievable in the place. You see when both of us had school concerts it was consistently during the winter season when the temperatures were extremely cold outside. I would be cold when I tried to haul the tuba inside of the meeting area but then there was steady and consistent top quality central heating inside of the meeting place. I remember there was a place that was prefer a major relief. I absolutely guess they had a gas oil furnace in the central heating areas those mornings. I am not completely sure but would consistently remember when there were songs that were practiced during colder temperatures plus there was a Charming plus absolutely high-powered heating unit that made all of us feel relaxed while we played our band instruments. I eventually decided to give up playing this instrument and now work as a certified heating plus air conditioner specialist. It is my pleasure to help people with their Heating and addition to cooling needs. I toiled for myself plus and a contractor that is independently working on heating plus cooling plans. I absolutely make rules all of my own and have hours that allow me to be home on the weekends.

There was no way I could reflect differently

We had extreme pollen allergy concerns in this area.

Things were bad plus we had to stand back plus deal with them.

My portable air cleaners were sighted around the apartment plus it was something I was unable to deal with. This is the terrible pollen levels and how they have been. If I had some money, then I would invest all of my money for a whole apartment air purification plan. At this point, this would attack the major pollen concerns at both of us seem to be having. But since I cannot actually afford this, all I can do is take a couple of allergy pills plus try to Hope even for the best. I do run the portable air cleaner and this helps to relieve some of the pollen concerns. But it does not clean the apartment from the poor indoor air quality by any means. The pollen is regularly at high levels plus this is something that even the portable air cleaner can not regularly handle absolutely well. I have to hope for it to clear up the air sometime soon. Otherwise I go to the bank plus would apply for a loan just so I can get a whole home air purification plan. That would inquire me to get a lot more debt than I already have plus this is not the type of thing that you can easily do when hoping for lower bills and less concern about the indoor air. Hopefully the problems will clear up sooner than later.
