The first thing that I’m going to do when the world starts again, is to call out a professional heating, cooling, and ventilation technician to inspect our failing air quality control equipment.
For the past 15 years I’ve been on the road, running away from my family. Well, that’s at least how it feels. It was about 15 years ago when my wife and I had our first kid, and I took a traveling sales job to support our growing family. Since I’ve never actually lived full-time in the house with my family of (now) five, we often joke that I went out for a job interview and never came home. However, thanks to recent global events, I have been spending more time at home then ever before. It turns out, there were a lot of things that I have been missing. My kids are way bigger and smarter than I realized, my dog is extremely annoying all day long, and our central heating and cooling system is absolutely terrible. I guess I never knew how difficult it was living at home like my wife does, until I was breathing in the same indoor air. It’s clear now that she really needed more help around the house. The first thing that I’m going to do when the world starts again, is to call out a professional heating, cooling, and ventilation technician to inspect our failing air quality control equipment. It’s obvious that the heating and cooling system needed to be replaced 5 or 10 years ago, and it needs regular maintenance appointments on a biannual basis. My poor wife has been living with clogged air filters, disgusting air ducts, and uneven hot and cold temperatures nearly this whole time I’ve been gone. Frankly, I spent so little time at home in between travelling that I thought I was simply spoiled by powerful HVAC systems in 5-star hotel rooms when I felt our gross indoor air. Now I know, my family was being tortured with uncomfortable indoor air while I gallivanted across the country.
