Even though I have had help with indoor comfort my whole life, I know very little about them.
I rely heavily on the internet and HVAC professionals.
I had never bothered to learn more, probably because if one gets so used to having things done for them, they lose the initiative to learn or try. My air quality system has been giving me issues for a while now. It all started when I noticed that the surfaces at my home were becoming dust very quickly. It would make weird noises, and I also noticed that part of the seal on the ductwork was damaged. I remember being shown how to clean the washable filters, but now I need help remembering how to uninstall and install an air filter. I called one of the HVAC technicians referred to me by a neighbor who had since moved states. I also included HVAC maintenance in the list of home services that I needed. The HVAC company told me the local contractor would arrive later in the afternoon. When he came, he inspected the entire HVAC unit. He then sealed the conduits and did duct cleaning. He taught me how to replace the filters to improve air quality. He then advised me on a good air purification system. My house felt like a home once more. When I invited a friend, they commented on how much the indoor comfort had improved. I was happy to hear this since I had fully invested myself, including learning new skills to help me with regular a/c care.
