My husband moved down south for work and I moved with him.
I work from home so I was happy it worked out for us that way.
I was excited to have warmer winters and honestly I didn’t mind moving. But what I didn’t consider was all of the pollen in the south. The north has their fair share of pollen too but the pollen season only lasts a few months. Down south, the pollen season lasts 9 months out of the years. Additionally, I am not used to the trees, grasses, and flowers in the south so I am miserable. I try to stay indoors as much as possible. There are entire days where I don’t go outside at all. And yet, my allergies are still terrible. I use a strong air filter and we run the air conditioner almost non stop. You have to go far south. However, I am starting to think that we need more than just strong air filters in the HVAC system. I think we might need air purification help from an HVAC dealer. I was reading that heating and cooling professionals know a lot about air purification. Sometimes it is something as simple as cleaning the ductwork that makes all of the difference. Other times, air purification systems may be in order. I have looked up prices for both of those options and one is definitely cheaper than the other. However, I am willing to do whatever it takes for me to feel better. It is either that, or we leave this high-paying job and move back up north.
