This past winter, my husband and I experienced a scary moment when one of our children was diagnosed with asthma.
- We were thrown into a world of inhalers and it definitely altered some aspects of our everyday life.
Through some testing, we learned what the allergens were and worked to remove them from our daily life. This actually was helpful for my husband as well, who also has horrible seasonal allergies and asthma. Unfortunately, we were still having some battles with allergens, and it seemed like the things we were doing were not as helpful as we had hoped. It was at this point that I started doing research on how to improve air flow and limit allergens in our home. I learned about special allergy reducing filters for our HVAC unit, so I started by installing one of these. After installing the allergy reducing air filter, I did see some improvement in both my husband and child’s symptoms. I wondered if there was something even more efficient though that we could also do that involved our HVAC unit and whole-house airflow. It was at this point that I contacted a local, reputable HVAC company. The HVAC company thoroughly inspected our unit and ductwork to ensure the unit was functioning and that the ductwork was clean. After I expressed my concern about allergens, the HVAC company stated that they could install a whole home air purifier. I did not hesitate to move forward with this installation. With as many allergen concerns as our family was having, I knew it was worth the investment. Since the installation, I can see a difference in the symptoms of both my husband and child. While I know I cannot protect my family from every possible allergen, I am glad I can at least make the air in our home as allergen-free as possible.
