The cost of the air filters aren’t cheap though
I have terrible allergies, and I’m not sure if it is the outdoor air or my indoor air quality. It could be pollen, pet dander or even the smell of the animal litter that is bothering me. I haven’t been able to determine the cause of my allergies. I sneeze, have a runny nose, dry cough and a headache constantly though. I get so sick of carrying tissues around that I just let my nose run like I’m a kindergartener. I looked online on what to do to help my allergies. There are of course medications and cleaners that help matters out. I did find one article that piqued my interest though. It was highly suggested to work on improving your indoor air quality when suffering with allergies. I did everything that was suggested and I am shocked by the difference. First, I bought HEPA filters which have a higher MERV rating and smaller holes to catch dust. I then bought myself a media air cleaner for my home. This was sort of a pain since the Heating and Air Conditioning serviceman needed to install it in my return air duct. I also need to remember to change the air filters on the HVAC unit and the media air cleaner. The cost of the air filters aren’t cheap though. I then had the Heating and Air Conditioning company do some air duct cleaning while he was in the house, and now that everything is all installed plus cleaned, I can breathe so much easier. I hardly sneeze now and my headaches are gone. Now, I feel like a whole new woman.
