If I have to pick a few positives that came from being at home inside the air conditioning for 18 months, the list is pretty short.
The fact is that we are just now finding something sort of like normal after the worst of the pandemic.
My husband and I both had to stay out of the zone controlled HVAC of the office because of my genetic health condition. Had I gotten Covid, I might not have lived through it. So if that meant staying inside the HVAC safety and security of my home, so be it. It took me a while to get with the program when it came to working from home. But I finally got that down to a point where I could get my work done. Yet, I longed to be back inside that zone controlled HVAC of our downtown offices. And now that I’m back inside that zone controlled HVAC comfort, I’m so grateful. Yet, there were a few things that I did get out of the pandemic that were positive. For one thing, we finally got our collective act together when it came to our HVAC equipment. My husband and I have never been at all consistent about taking care of our HVAC unit. But while we were at home for nearly 18 months, we really stepped up our game. We started by changing to a HEPA filter instead of the cheap air filters we always used. Then, we made sure that we were changing that HEPA filter the way were supposed to be doing. Then we even called and signed up for the HVAC service plan offered by our HVAC company.
