We definitely made the conscious choice to have a bunch of animals rather than children.
- My wife and I figured that we were good enough adults to have a place with central air conditioning and good jobs.
Beyond that, we just weren’t comfortable having kids. I guess you feel it or you don’t. But then again, we’re still in our late 30’s so never say never. Still, we love that our kids come with paws. Yet, we sure were beat down about the stinky conditions in our home. The more dogs and cats we rescued, the less I wanted to walk into the air conditioning of my house. We have a big place with plenty of space. And designated pet space as well. But you can’t cordon of the indoor air very well. When the heat pump comes on, the odors just filter all through the house. We keep our house clean and our pets are all house trained. But still, there pets and always into something. The scented candles and sprays helped for brief periods of time but were no solution. For an ultimate solution, we would have to get the help of the HVAC professionals. They had our answer locked and loaded too. We now have a whole home air purification system inside our HVAC unit. It zaps the air coming from the HVAC return with UV light. That burns up the DNA of all the bacteria in the air causing the odors. Oh and it zaps all the other allergens and bad stuff in the air as well. The air in our home just couldn’t be better and we’re super thankful for that.
