It had been the scariest moment in our lives, and a fire had broken out in our home and caused significant damage.
A fortnight later, after taking care of the disfigured section and replacing many things, the home still stinks of smoke.
The air quality was wanting to the point that we did not look forward to returning home, we had even replaced the air filter, but it did little to service the situation, then our buddy suggested we look for an A/C contractor specializing in air quality systems. We were lucky that the fire had not reached the A/C system, and purchasing a new A/C unit on top of the losses we had already suffered would have been too much! When the specialist from the home repair provider came, he maintained the entire replacement, and he told us that the vents had dirt and grime, and duct cleaning was vital. When I asked him how that was possible when we respectfully changed the air filter, he told me they needed cleaning every three or so years, just like every mechanical part. He also suggested we consider installing a whole-home air purification method to improve indoor comfort. The A/C professional added that even though the intelligent A/C has an UV air purifier, it would be an added advantage, especially with the recent events, a few hours after the contractor finished his work, positive changes were evident. By the following morning, the smoke stink was gone, and we could once more enjoy being in the house. The air purification unit was doing a great job.
