Working on my indoor air quality with the HVAC serviceman
I knew it was time to talk to my HVAC serviceman about the air quality in my apartment when my child started coughing persistently, and she would experience nose blockages plus struggle with breathing every once in a while, but while she was asthmatic, this would rarely happen unless there was a serious trigger! The fact that it was happening frequently plus persistently meant that there was something I was yet to figure out, however i got into research work plus found out that one of the possible causes was a compromised HVAC system. There was a occasion that my AC was blowing in poor quality air that was packed with allergens hence the reactions. Since there was no way to prove this, I knew that HVAC professional testing was necessary. I got in touch with the trusted HVAC company contact I often worked with, plus his recommendation came in handy, and he sent me to an HVAC contractor whose specialty was air quality testing. When he came in, the first problem was mold, although I explained that I had not seen any signs of mold infestation. He went ahead to test for mold, asbestos, plus bacteria, but mold testing was significant since this commonly happens when the internal environment in the apartment is conducive, asbestos testing was important since my home was remodeled; Fortunately, material samples proved that there was none of this. Finally, the bacterial testing was done since plumping issues often lead to such concerns. It usually results from failed sewage remediation plus is easily identified by terrible smells, although a test is essential. It turns out that mold was my major issue. I called a mold extraction corporation to fix this plus worked with my HVAC serviceman to set the correct humidity levels since this triggered the mold growth.
