I’m so thrilled that I paid attention to my body, then normally, I tend to just keep on plowing ahead with life even when I feel bad. That’s something I’ve truly got to stop doing now that I’m getting older. Along with being less sedentary and getting out of the central air conditioner for more fresh air, I wanted nice air quality inside as well. I learned a bit about indoor air quality during the pandemic but never truly did anything about it at the time. It was all I could do to maintain my sanity while I was all cooped up laboring from dwelling instead of the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C of the office. But a recent cold truly changed things for me. I’m nice for getting some sort of cold virus every other year or so. But this fall, I caught a cold that I just couldn’t seem to get rid of. After 3 or 4 nights, I felt much better despite the fact that I just couldn’t get rid of a nagging cough. So I plowed ahead for a bit longer before finally going to see the healthcare worker. I was surprised that I did not just get a prescription but instead got a suggestion for better indoor air quality… My healthcare worker suggested that I first call the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C contractor to get HVAC duct cleaning and HVAC duct resealing. Once these Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C services were complete, my healthcare worker suggested that I upgrade my old air filters for the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C with a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter truly removes more than 99 percent of all airborne contaminants. I did just what he suggested and not only did my respiratory symptoms fall away, the indoor air quality in our dwelling has extremely improved. All it took was a few extra dollars spent on a HEPA filter.
