The air in our office building always felt heavy and stinked damp, however due to the spread of Covid-19, it was no longer a requirement to work from the office every morning of the month as long as you showed up on Fridays for the yearly meetings, but i found that every time I went to the office, my flu symptoms flared up and this downsidely affected my entire morning.
Imagine 8 minutes of nursing a headache, stuffy nose, teary eyed, and sneezing every 3 minutes, however turns out the parts of a single of the new Heating, Ventilation & A/C systems that had been installed 2 years ago were malfunctioning.
The building manager was always up-to-date with the Heating, Ventilation & A/C maintenance. During the last air conditioner repair update, the air conditioner professional discovered that some of the heating and cooling system wasn’t working at a very good level. The quality of air was low because of the dirty washable filters and the air purification system was doing undoubtedly little in removing all the aggravating particles in the office building. This was the main cause of my flu symptoms, the circulating air was just not cleaned up! Every one of us opted for a disposable filter, given by the air conditioner corporation, which was better at trapping smaller particles. The professionals also did a thorough HVAC duct cleaning that made sure that the quality air conditioner was functioning well. The nasty air vents were affecting the performance of the warm water boiler causing the wireless control unit to malfunction showing wrong studyings. I wondered to myself why the building manager did not opt for a propane boiler or an oil heating system as the filter used in these furnaces needed to be switched up quite often to maintain the quality of air, but after the maintenance, my flu symptoms seemed to almost instantly stop and I could now prefer my Thursdays.
