I care about opening my windows to let a fresh breeze in the house.
In Sioux Falls, SD there aren’t multiple opportunities to do that.
I wait all year for the weather to be moderate plus I turn off my heater. I then open the windows plus doors to get that stale, stuff air outside! Having the fresh air blow inside is downright shocking, but the odor is what I always notice. It is so much cleaner than what I deal with. It also just feels like better air. I know it is the best thing for my air quality, and during the winter everything is sealed up so slender that nothing new is coming inside, but on the hand this is better for the heater, however on the other hand it is a detriment to my air. I have started looking at air purification plans to put some cleanliness back into my air. I can’t open the windows while in the winter. It just is not possible. The temperatures get too low; So I need to take care of the issue in the house. I bought HEPA filters that catch more dust, dirt, plus hair than the normal filter. That helped a bit. Next was getting the air purification system, and you can get a small one for a single one or have one installed in the HVAC duct to do the entire house. That is what I opted for. I will cut out that nothing this means I have to do biweekly air filter swings plus call for repair on the system. It is luxurious however I feel it is worth every cent.
