I’ve never really been a sickly sort.
Sure, I’ll get a cold or a flu every few years.
But by and large, I’ve remained really healthy. While I take pretty good care of myself, I do suffer from allergies a bit. And when I get a chest cold, I can suffer with a cough for a while. That’s what sent me from my warm home with the gas furnace running to the doctor’s office that feels like the air conditioning is perpetually on. But this cold was one that I couldn’t shake and I could figure out why this one was so much worse. I guess I expected the doctor to give me meds and send me back to bed. Yet, that’s not at all what happened. My doctor started asking me questions about the indoor air quality of my home. Well, I had no idea how to answer those as I had nothing to compare it to. So she asked me about different aspects of our HVAC equipment. Again, I was at a loss. The doctor ended up sending me home with the suggestion that I call the HVAC company to get the HVAC air ducts cleaned. I was sort of confused but did just she recommended. I set up the appointment for ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing and the HVAC crew was great. They took great care and did a wonderful job. The doctor was right on the money as my symptoms cleared up right away. So I’m now making ductwork cleaning part of my annual spring cleaning.
