Reducing humidity also improves immune health
Reducing humidity also improves immune health
I have never spent this much time inside the HVAC comfort of my home.
But, pandemics will do that to you.
8 months ago, I was still working from the awesome office with customized HVAC. And my wife still had her job. That seems like a lifetime ago. It blows my mind even to consider. However, I am also thankful to have a perfectly HVAC controlled house to lay low in. This situation is, after all, just temporary and we will get through it. Our region has a great deal of heat to contend with. We are finally coming out of the worst of the heat. The HVAC is able to catch its breath and the utility bill will reflect that. That will be a very welcome change as we are dealing with far less income than normal. So any savings or lack of spending will only help our anemic household budget. The HVAC utility costs during the summer can be intense for sure. This summer, my wife even suggested that we turn off the HVAC cooling for a few days to save money. I admire her devotion and commitment to saving money. But doing without HVAC can end up doing more harm than good. Plus, it can effect our immune health which is of utmost importance right now. See, the HVAC cooling does more than just cool the house. It is also responsible for balancing the humidity as well. Without the HVAC reducing the humidity, we would have a mold & mildew problem. Mold is super bad for the respiratory system and drags the immune response down. That’s just not something we can take a chance on right now.
