I found a job away from home, and housing was a problem, so I had to find a roommate.
I did get one, and everything was fine until they brought a cat home.
I have mild fur allergies, and I was sneezing within no time. I asked them to get rid of it, but that wasn’t something they were ready for, so I had to figure out how to keep the air quality in my bedroom uncompromised. I searched for solutions, and an air purification system for my room seemed like a good idea because our bedrooms are in opposite directions, and he had agreed to keep the cat away from my side of the house. I had already tried to change the air filter at the recommendation of my friend, an HVAC technician, but that didn’t work out. A whole home air purification system was way above my budget, but I needed to try at least to make the indoor air quality where I slept breathable. I couldn’t find a new house because that was also out of my budget. The HVAC professional I sought air purification help from recommended that before we sorted the air purification troubles, it would be best to do an HVAC maintenance and duct cleaning to ensure I had a clean slate to start. Looking back, I’m grateful the company had a home service for HVAC equipment installations and emergency servicing because the work was handled a day after I inquired. I stayed another year with my cat-loving roommate, and my allergies resolved when I got a cleaner. Now I’m just glad I live in a house with a smart HVAC system.
