I thought I was alright at first when I rented my first apartment.
- I was going to college and I thought I had it made because I had my own place.
I had buddies hanging out all the time and we always had good times. Then eventually, my friends quit hanging out all the time like they used to. I didn’t really know what was going on and I wasn’t sure I wanted to ask because it could have been embarrassing for me. Eventually, I had to ask what was going on when nobody came to visit in two weeks. My friends ended up telling me that the air quality in my apartment was terrible and there were funky smells. Admittedly, I did have a stack of laundry that I wasn’t looking forward to doing, but I got myself to do that. Then I called up a local contractor to take a look at the HVAC equipment. The HVAC professional provided a tune-up to the cooling system and then said that I had to remember to change the air filters regularly. He also said if I wanted better air quality in my apartment, I should use high quality air filters. I couldn’t afford the HEPA filters, but I did end up going for air filters with a MERV 8 rating, which I think is pretty good. After that when my buddies came out, they said that the air quality was way better. I told them how I worked with a local contractor to resolve my air quality issue and I started using better air filters.
