Given all the time that I’m spending inside my home, I felt that it was certainly time to address a long running problem.
For my wife and I, we have wanted to upgrade the indoor air quality of our home.
This has been something that was important prior to the pandemic. Yet, the virus being out there has made us all the more aware of our health and immune system. Indoor air quality has a whole lot to do with maintaining good health as well as improving the immune response. We ended up cleaning the air in our home in stages. First, we learned that the cheap, paper air filters were doing nothing to clean the air. In fact, those type of HVAC air filters are designed to protect the HVAC equipment and not our health. This knowledge led us to replace the cheap air filter with a HEPA filter. The difference in air filters is night and day. The HEPA filter traps and removes over 99 percent of airborne contaminants. And it really improved the indoor air quality. However, with working from home being the new normal, my wife and I wanted to go all the way with the indoor air quality. So we had the HVAC company come out to install a whole home air purification system. Now, we have the absolute cleanest air possible. Plus, the air is completely odor free and smells a bit like heaven. That was definitely an added bonus we weren’t expecting from the whole home air purification system. But we sure do love it!
