I’ve always been a bit hot and cold when it comes to my feelings about winter.
This goes back to the days when I was just a little boy.
Of course, I loved the snow days and all the fun that was had. But I also seemed to get sick all the time during the winter. I was always the kid that had a cold. Thankfully, I grew out of that. Still though, I’ve noticed over the last few years that I’ll get a chest cold and it’ll take a really long time for me to get over it. Little did I know that this had everything to do with the HVAC ductwork. But I sure found out and it was nice to understand just what was going on. My doctor was actually the one who got me on to good indoor air quality. On a visit to see what he could do for those colds that just wouldn’t seem to go away, I noticed questions about the HVAC. This was certainly surprising as that was the last thing on my mind. The doctor saw the puzzled look on my face and explained how that most HVAC ductwork systems need cleaning. And I knew that our HVAC ductwork had never been cleaned since we owned the house and that was about 15 years. So once I got home I followed the doctor’s office, I called the HVAC company. I made an appointment for ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing. The HVAC professionals were at my house 2 days later. Since they did such a thorough job of ductwork cleaning, I have to say that I’m breathing far easier than I have in a long time. And no continuing respiratory illness for me this winter thanks to clean HVAC air ducts.
