The pandemic left an impact on my family and me.
My husband was laid off and we had to downsize to a small house. Though I still had my business, I was heavily pregnant, which meant that I would stop working for a few weeks after giving birth. A few months after we moved, we got our first baby. We were overjoyed about growing our family. When our daughter was only a month old, we got some great news, my husband had gotten another job and now we could start decorating the nursery. I was grateful for the heat pump as it kept us cool through the hot summer days. We lived near the mines and sometimes, the fumes and dust would get to the house. To protect my family from these fumes, we would buy an air purification system. The HVAC professionals at the local business advised us that with proper maintenance of the air purifier, we would improve our indoor air quality. Proper maintenance included regular duct cleaning and inspection of the ductwork. Proper duct sealing creates a seal that blocks out moisture, dust, and air movement. My HVAC technician helped with the installation process as my infant was keeping me very busy. He also helped replace the damaged thermostat with a more improved digital one. These activities lasted about two days, which kept me crazy busy with my child, husband as well as the heat and AC products. My husband was taken through the process of cleaning and replacing the washable filters as clean air filters and air ducts promote the quality of the air we breathe. We had a long week but the new air purification system made it worth it.
