It was not until I noticed my dog’s fur all over the house that I realized there was an issue with the air purification system.
Upon further inspection, I saw the unit was not even on.
My HVAC unit was working, but not the air purifier, so I never saw when it broke down. Luckily, the HVAC company promised to send its HVAC technicians within three hours. By this time, I had seen the reduced indoor comfort and hoped the HVAC professionals would help with indoor comfort. The workmen were on time for the appointment, and after running HVAC maintenance on the working unit, they checked on the other malfunction. As the local contractors did the duct cleaning and fixing the ductwork, the senior engineers assessed the air quality system. They established the issue to be a malfunctioned socket. The socket pins looked bent, so they did not transport power to the unit. I was happy because all I needed to do was buy a new socket and extension instead of an entire unit. As we moved the grand piano in, we nicked the socket and messed with the pins. The workmen said the unit had been off for several days, but I only noticed it the previous day. The central unit had air cleaning capabilities which slightly improved the air quality but not at the same level as the air cleaner. They finished by changing the air filters and taking me step by step through the process so I could attempt it in the future. I was impressed by the home services I received from the engineers and purposed to check on all the units regularly.
