As an HVAC professional, I have always been preoccupied with comfort and health.
Even when I was a youngster, I always thought that we needed to have the best air quality possible in our home.
I would always nag my parents about using quality air filters. They didn’t like it at first, but they realized that I was right and our health was better when we had the more costly air filters. We didn’t really use HEPA filters, but filters with a high MERV rating. When I became an HVAC professional, I always tried convincing my customers about how important it was to maintain good air quality, especially with youngsters in the home. Most people with youngsters would listen and would invest in good HVAC products for improved air quality. The best things are having an air purification system, good air filters, and a good humidifier. These things are great for improving the air quality in your home and saving money too. The humidifier with the right humidity levels makes it so you can save a large amount of money on your HVAC system use. You can use the HVAC less and have greater comfort and using a humidifier was one of the first energy saving tips I learned from an early age. While it has been difficult to get people to listen to the importance of good air quality, in recent times people have started to listen. I have people ordering UV air purifiers and air purification systems like crazy because the people know that the UV light kills the dangerous pathogens. I wish it didn’t take a dangerous pandemic to get people to learn, but I’m glad they can see now.
