How to use a thermostat to combat indoor air pollution

Poor air quality affects the health of your family or even yourself if you live alone.

When I noticed that the respiratory health of my family was deteriorating, I spoke to a doctor and HVAC professional from the local business who gave me sound advice on how to achieve proper indoor air quality.

I had a heat pump that provided adequate temperatures during the cold and winter seasons. A few years earlier I had taken the advice of a doctor and technician and purchased an air purification system complete with a digital regulator. With proper maintenance such as regular cleaning of the washable filters and scheduling duct cleaning after every 3 to 4 years, I am hoping my heat and AC products will last for a very long time. When I was having issues with the air purifier and regulator, one of the technicians who did the installation did a quick repair and cleaning of the air filters. To further effectively maintain my family’s health, the technician advised that I upgrade the thermostat to a smart one that can monitor for conditions like air purity and humidity, and can be integrated with air quality systems and the HVAC system. The technician then advised on the things that keep moisture or air from escaping the home such as redoing the duct sealing on the ductwork. He explained that clean air ducts promote a high quality of air which ensures my family’s health. The next day, I ordered the new regulator and had the technician integrate it with my other systems. Though it is costly, it is worth it. Now we do not need to keep adjusting the air sanitizer system, everything is automatic.

The amateur technician almost messed up my air purification system

Even though I have received comfort from heat and AC products for my whole life, I know very little concerning them.

I rely heavily on the internet and the professionals that are being referred to. My air purifier has been giving me issues for a while now. It all started when I noticed that the surfaces at my home were becoming dust very quickly. It would make weird noises and I also noticed that part of the seal on the ductwork was damaged. I remember being shown how to clean the washable filters but now I could not remember how to uninstall the air filters. I called one of the technicians referred to me by a neighbor who had since moved states. When he first arrived, the technician did not look like he was prepared to work, he lacked the work gear and tools. Despite this, I let him look at the air purification system. Within a few minutes, he gave me an invoice on the things he needed to repair the unit. The total sum was a very alarming number that I could only come up with the following week. As a temporary solution, he used low-quality material for duct sealing then removed and shoddily cleaned the air ducts using my leaf blower. When my friend came over for a visit, she referred her husband to fix the issue. He was very efficient and had all the right tools for duct cleaning and other processes concerning the proper maintenance of the air quality system. He redid the seals on the ducts with appropriate material from the local business. The amateur technician almost ruined my unit, fortunately, the heat pump did not need repair otherwise. The indoor air quality was improved and I also managed to upgrade my thermostat.

First time experiencing excellent indoor air quality

Growing up, my parents were middle class and had regular jobs.

Having enough for our needs, we barely have more for our wants.

There were many things that we did not have, but they were also not essential for our wellbeing. For the heat and AC products, we had a well-functioning heat pump that kept us warm during the winter and cool in summer. Since this had been our norm, when I moved out, I got the same furnace for my house that my parents had when I was growing up. I would have really bad allergies and sinus and had come to live with it not until my friend floated the idea of getting an air quality system. She explained that an air purifier could do wonders for me and my respiratory health. I was not moved since I had learned to live with my condition. She took me to the local business where we got the system and scheduled technicians for the installation, the next day. They said that there was no need for me to change the thermostat since it functioned very well despite it being old and first-generation. Because it was a new idea to me, I decided to purchase an air purification system with ductworks. The technicians started by installing the unit that involved fitting the air ducts and air filters before duct sealing. I had decided on washable filters as they are quite affordable. After they were done, I got the chance to experience high indoor air quality and it was nothing like I had ever experienced before. The technicians assisted in scheduling the first duct cleaning process that would happen after every 3 to 4 years but maintained the proper function of the system.

Finally getting an air purifier for more comfort while pregnant

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was very scared so I went to a women’s shelter. The shelter was a government initiative that helped pregnant women and teens with shelter and assistance until they were able to stand on their own. I had been at the shelter for three months and the experience was better than I had imagined. There was a heat pump to help keep us cool from the summer heat, we had hot food every day and a roof over our heads. On Friday, the matron announced that the governor had donated an air purification system to the shelter that would help improve the indoor air quality thus promoting the respiratory health of pregnant women and more importantly the newborns. The air purifier was delivered by technicians from the local business who proceeded with the installation. The technicians came in and out of the shelter carrying equipment such as air ducts for the ductwork. During the duct sealing process, I had to take a walk in the garden as the shelter became very noisy. The heat and AC products I saw seemed very complex and expensive. The technicians also changed our thermostat to a wireless one that only the matron could control. I struck up a conversation with one of the techies who explained the function of the air quality system as well as what an owner could do to ensure it lasted very long since it is very costly. The regularly scheduled duct cleaning was the first requirement followed by keeping the air filters free from dust by cleaning the washable filter every 3 to 6 months. A few months later, I gave birth and I had never been happier to have gotten help from the amazing people at the shelter.
