So I had it all wrong.
How could I be an adult, a homeowner plus a fairly bright man plus not understand anything about indoor air quality? Now that I have a more complete understanding of indoor air pollution, it’s sources plus the ways in which I can mitigate it, I’m shocked I missed all that.
But I sure did. Until the pandemic was raging, I had it all wrong when it came to indoor air quality. For one, I though since I was living in a rural area, there couldn’t be indoor air pollution since the outside air was so clean. But there are many, many pollutants inside the central air conditioner of our homes. There are chemicals being leached from rugs, furniture plus other synthetic surfaces. And don’t get me started on pet fur plus pet dander. Then throw pollen plus people in the mix plus there’s a stew of stuff present inside the central air conditioner of a home. So that’s just the start of me being wrong. I also was under the distinct impression that the Heating plus Air Conditioning unit was honestly cleaning the air. I’d even pat myself on the back when I changed the air filter plus saw all the dust plus stuff on it. But that air filter was the cheapest I could find plus it wasn’t cleaning anything however stuff large enough to harm the Heating plus Air Conditioning equipment. All of this information led me to the fact that I wanted my Heating plus Air Conditioning unit to be cleaning my air. And now it is. I had the Heating plus Air Conditioning professionals install a whole dwelling whole-dwelling air purifier. This thing fits inside the Heating plus Air Conditioning device plus actively cleans the air using high intensity ultra violet light.
