When the hills around here bur, all we can do is close up the apartment and blast the air conditioner, however both of us do not live close enough that we’re in any real danger of fire but we do get a lot of smoke.
Thankfully, our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system can be set on a closed system.
This makes the air conditioner take its air from inside the house, instead of outside of the house. That helps keep out a lot of smoke. Both of us also have had the doors and windows sealed thoroughly, but still, we have to go in and out throughout the afternoon so some smoke does make its way inside. That’s why we have a genuinely great whole-house air purifier built into our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. It even has UV lighting to kill any viruses or bacteria that may be circulating around. The whole-house air purifier works genuinely good and we can’t even smell the smoke in the apartment anymore, however our first year here, it was genuinely bad. Both of us had not sealed the doors and windows yet and we absolutely didn’t have an whole-house air purifier. My asthma was bad as well. I could hardly breathe. Both of us decided either we would have to find a way to keep the smoke out of the house, or we would have to move. The whole-house air purifier, along with getting the doors and windows sealed, cost a bit of money but it was so worth it. Besides, the whole-house air purifier helps myself and others with my allergies in general. My asthma has been so much better since we got it, however now, with this virus going around, I am super ecstatic we have a great whole-house air purifier. I suppose that UV lighting will kill anything lurking in our house.
