It might be worth thinking about
I live in Birmingham, AL and I have never thought about my indoor air quality until recently; Even after COVID I just sort of took that as a plan to be healthier, and i thought about running more, eating better, and staying up-to-date with vaccinations. I didn’t realize that you could do something about your house air until recently. I had a visit from my local Birmingham HVAC business… The woman did indoor air quality testing and told me that she found absolutely high humidity in my home. That means more bugs, insects, and mold growth. It also means it is harder to achieve comfort with A/C in the summertime. The HVAC contractor in Birmingham said that I needed a dehumidifier to labor with my cooling unit in order to be totally comfortable. I thought about it and then agreed. The dehumidifier was simple, small, and quite cheap. It is installed right now, not the A/C unit and now works in tandem with it! Removing that excessive moisture has changed the whole feeling of my house. It entirely feels cold in the summer time season. I am now considering other parts of my house… How dirty is the air quality? Do I need an air cleaner? What about a humidifier in the winter? The Birmingham winter time season is quite cold as well. It might be worth thinking about. I feel on my fall tune up I am going to have indoor air quality testing again and see if there is more I can do to make the inside of my house fresher and healthier.
