I have had allergies my entire life, but it seems that over the last couple of months my allergies were quickly worsening.
I was sick all of the time until I would go out of the house.
I would be outside for ten minutes and I would be feeling wonderful again. When I returned to the house, I would begin coughing and sneezing. My throat would get sore and I wasn’t sure if I was going to survive the night. My sister came to visit one afternoon and after only half an hour, she told me that my house was making me sick. I thought she was crazy. She said that she could feel her eyes burning and her throat felt scratchy and it had to be my home. I called the HVAC company knowing they would be able to tell me if there was a problem with my air quality. They brought all of their tools and the first thing they asked was when was the last time I had my ductwork cleaned. I told them it had been about six months previously. They said that my air quality was really poor and they suggested an air purification system. I had a fairly new HVAC system and the air purifier would work with my HVAC system. I put out the money they asked for the whole home air purifier and I prayed it would make a difference. Within two days, I was feeling like I do when I go outside. I must have been used to the odd smells because now I noticed that my air quality smelled fresh and clean.
