The air quality in my apartment has been less than appealing and I was determined to repair it.
The problem was that I didn’t know anything about air quality or how to improve it.
The air in my apartment was musty and dusty and I could see flecks of dust moving throughout the air whenever the sunshine shined through the windows! Before calling an Heating, Ventilation and A/C corporation, I decided to remedy the situation myself. I went online and researched ways to improve air quality and the number one suggestion was to replace the air filter. This sent me down a rabbit hole on learning about air filters and where to locate them. Before I could replace the air filter, I had to purchase a new air filter from the hardware store and then find where the air filter was located. This was all a learning experience, despite the fact that I was thrilled to learn about it. The seasoned air filter was so clogged that I couldn’t even see the mesh lining anymore and there were chucks of dust falling off of it. I even had to vacuum the part around where the air vent was laying because of the excess dirt and debri. After installing the new air filter, I felt much better about my air quality but I knew it would take some time for all the dust to be collected. In order to undoubtedly purify the air, I purchased a small media air cleaner and I stadiumd it in the main part of my house. I’ve been running it afternoon and night and I’ve already had to replace the air filter within it once! The air quality is improving afternoon by afternoon!
