It has certainly been a year of learning and adjustment for me.
I imagine I am not the only one who has had to deal with a great deal of change over this year.
We can all thank the pandemic for that. However, it was what I learned about my HVAC that really took me by surprise. I found out that the quality of the indoor air has so much to do with our health. Here I thought the air conditioning was there just to make me more comfortable. The same goes with the heater. But the heating and cooling system is actually very important to protecting and strengthening our health. Again, this was news to me. But what I learned about indoor air quality really got my attention for sure. In most homes, there are a vast amount of airborne contaminants that are constantly attacking the respiratory system. This results in the immune system being constantly in response mode to ward off these airborne threats. It’s also a reason why many of us have colds that never go away or deal with all sorts of sinus issues. Given the spotlight on our immune health over the past year, I decided to get as proactive as possible to help my HVAC provide excellent air quality. To that end, I had the HVAC people come out and install a whole home air purification system. This system actively cleans the air by destroying the DNA of airborne contaminants. Now not only do I have air quality that is improving my health, the air in my house is so crisp and clean smelling as well.
