One thing I didn’t think too much about after moving into a new house was keeping good air quality.
I used to always use high quality air filters to keep the air quality in our home, but this new home didn’t have a ductwork system. The previous owners only used window AC units for cooling and they had a boiler system for heating in the winter season. Also, there is a very nice fireplace in the living room and that’s one of the main reasons why I think we fell in love with the place. That and the huge amount of land for the children to go running around and playing football and things like that. The boiler system worked great through the winter season and our energy bills were low which I appreciated. I didn’t think it would be great to use the window AC units, but I also thought it would be too expensive to have a huge ductwork system installed. I decided to consult with an HVAC expert on this matter. He said there were ductless HVAC options that would be perfect for our needs. He recommended a ductless multi-split system which would provide customized temperature control settings in different zones throughout the house. He said this was a huge energy saver especially since you didn’t have to provide heating and cooling to the whole property from a single thermostat. We went for the upgrade and this system came with washable filters. Also the HVAC expert said if we were concerned about air quality, it would be good to have UV air purifiers installed throughout the house. We got those and they use HEPA filters for excellent air quality and protection at home!
