My husband was insisting we disconnect the air purification system now that Covid was on its way out, but I disagreed.
I thought whole-home air purification was still necessary, even if we didn’t worry about Covid now.
My home had been cleaner since the air purification had been installed. My daughter’s allergies were practically non-existent when the whole home air purification system was running. My husband hadn’t had an asthma attack. How he thought it was a good idea to get rid of the air purification system was beyond my realm of thinking. He told me it cost too much money to run the whole-home air purification system all year round, but I disagreed. I pulled up the energy bills for the last five years and showed him the only change was normal raises the energy company did every year. He still wanted to argue his case for disconnecting the whole-home air purification system. When he said we needed to purchase new HEPA air filters because the case was empty, I worried. I knew they were expensive. He said it was also time to put in a new UV light, and it was also expensive. I told him this was a once a year cost and still didn’t come up to how much we were saving on doctor bills and cleaning supplies, or on the health of him and our daughter. He walked away, but I knew I hadn’t gotten through to him when he called the HVAC company to purchase a case of HEPA air filters and a UV light.
