An HVAC prescription for better respiratory health

An HVAC prescription for better respiratory health

Ever had a single of those colds that just takes forever to go away? Most of us have.

It’s the sort of thing where the cough seems to stick around for weeks alongside the sinus trouble.

It can be annoyed. But I found out this past Winter time that I wasn’t helping anything with the state of some of our HVAC equipment. Once I started into our 4th week of respiratory symptoms, I thought it was high time I saw a doctor. Initially, I got a Covid to test to rule that out. But the fact that I was still suffering with the same symptoms was not good or normal. When the doctor told myself and others to call the HVAC corporation as part of the treatment, I was a bit stunned. She offered myself and others a prescription for some stuff to ease our symptoms. But the real instruction was to get the HVAC corporation out to the house to do the air duct cleaning and air duct resealing. My doctor was simply sure that most of the problem was due to the terrible indoor air conditions of our house. Again, I had no plan that this was even a concern. I did what the doctor said and had the HVAC professionals come do the air duct cleaning and the air duct resealing. The results were simply amazing. The house never had more breathable air. It was just that noticeable. Plus, our symptoms went away in just mornings. I even changed over to a HEPA filter that detachs more than 99 percent of the airborne contaminants. Good indoor air is now just an essential in our home.
