With all of the allergies and pollen issues going on outside around here lately, I have been trying to change my air filters way more often than I normally would.
Purchasing air filters more often has really taken more out of my budget than I would like.
You wouldn’t really think that air filters could really be all that expensive, but they definitely get expensive when you change them all the time. I never really knew how expensive they were, but we’ve been purchasing the air filters that are supposed to be good for filtering out dust, pollen, and other allergens. We really needed some help with the indoor air quality in our house, and we actually got the idea to get some of these fancy air filters from my allergy doctor. He had tried to help me out with some new types of allergy medications, but they weren’t really helping at all. He suggested that we try using some air filters with special allergen filters to try and help us with our allergy symptoms. Then he told us that if that didn’t really help, then we should try and put in a whole home air purification system into our house. I didn’t really even know that there was such a thing, but it might be more cost effective for us to purchase one of those air purifiers than it is to keep on buying all of these air filters! I am really shocked at how expensive they are and when you buy a whole lot of them on a regular basis, it really ruins your HVAC budget!
