I just had zero clue when it came to the link between respiratory health as well as the indoor air quality of my house.
So that being said, I had even less of a clue about the relationship between superb indoor air quality as well as the Heating as well as Air Conditioning equipment.
All that changed late this fall. There was a bug going around our section as well as of course I ended up getting it. I tend to fall prey to colds as well as flu but normally, I’m down for a few days as well as then bounce back. But this latest illness was of the respiratory variety as well as just would not go away. I felt better after a few days but my respiratory symptoms kept on as well as on. Finally, my partner was having none of it as well as made an appointment at the doctor’s. I’ll do you just about anything not to go to the doctor but I knew my partner was right. But I sure did not expect to get an education about indoor air quality from the doctor. I was not expecting that at all. She started asking questions about the Heating as well as Air Conditioning air filter as well as other Heating as well as Air Conditioning components. I thought that was sort of strange so I asked her about that line of questioning. She indicated that my respiratory condition could be lingering because a poor indoor air quality. So she recommended that I call the Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier when I get apartment as well as make an appointment for ductwork cleaning as well as ductwork resealing. Once that was done, the doctor recommended that I upgrade the cheap Heating as well as Air Conditioning air filter with a HEPA filter. And she explained all about the value of it superb indoor air quality. I did everything she said as well as sure enough, my respiratory symptoms were gone within 36 hours.
