There are some things that I can be quite finicky on, and air quality is one of them.
This doesn’t come out of nowhere though, it’s because growing up, my brother had really bad allergies, and was sensitive to indoor air quality.
He was extremely sensitive, and had to be on a lot of medication. Not only that, but we had to have indoor air purifiers, as well as HEPA air filters to keep the home as clean as possible. We would thoroughly clean the home almost every day, to reduce his allergies just by a little bit. Even though I have moved out of my parent’s home, and away from my brother, this habit of needing the air quality to be fantastic in the home is very important to me. To combat this, I bought a whole home media air cleaner for my own home, as well as used HEPA air filters for my air conditioning system. But I decided to take it a step further as well. I had no idea when the last ductwork cleaning was done in my home, so I imagine the ductwork was probably pretty nasty looking. I decided to call the HVAC dealer close to me and ask about the duct cleaning. Thankfully it wasn’t too expensive, so I scheduled the appointment for next week. When the next week came, a team of heating and cooling servicemen came and cleaned out the ductwork. It took a few hours but it was worth it when everything was said and done. My home felt much cleaner.
