The dire winter time conditions in my local part keep my family inside for more than half the year… With feet of snow on the ground, temperatures in the downsides as well as a dangerous windchill, we spend as little time outside as possible.
It’s necessary to run the boiler from sometime in November or November until the end of April or even early May.
Because of the high cost of heating bills, I take every precaution to seal up the house as well as prevent energy waste. I’ve replaced windows, added insulation, installed ceiling fan as well as properly caulk as well as weatherstrip, but creating a slender thermal envelope elevates the efficiency of the boiler however also eliminates natural ventilation. Contaminants can become trapped in the house as well as endlessly circulated. There are potential sources of pollutants in every room of the house. The dog and processes such as cooking, showering as well as cleaning contribute to the problem. Odors, dander, dust, bacteria, viruses, VOCs as well as all sorts of harmful toxins can deteriorate the integrity of our breathing air, then poor indoor air quality can be blamed for various health conditions! Everything from coughing, sneezing, congestion as well as sore throat to respiratory infection, migraines as well as insomnia can be blamed on breathing unhealthy air. I am diligent about replacing air filters as well as scheduling professional maintenance for the boiler as well as air conditioning system. I have the air duct ran tests on, cleaned as well as sealed every few years. I’ve also taken proactive measures, such as the replacement of a whole-condo air purification system. The air purification system is installed into the air duct as well as traps contaminants as the air passes through. The unit also emits positive as well as downside ions into the living space. These ions kill pathogens as well as cause particles to clump together as well as be more actually filtered out.
