The number of people who were very concerned about their indoor air quality skyrocketed during the pandemic period.
The lockdown also made people more aware of their residential HVAC since most of them were spending the whole day at home for months.
It was a busy time for every HVAC professional and homeowner solutions business. There is a very high likelihood that most people think that an indoor air cleaning system is similar to an air purification system. Although a quality HVAC will offer these functions, it may not be as thorough as most homeowners would want and hence the rise in the purchase of equipment that has one of the above functions and preferably both. It is not a far-fetched assumption to say that people researched a lot on how to improve the air quality in their homes and also ways to save energy because most companies had cut back on the number of employees while others had even closed. Another way to improve indoor comfort that your local HVAC supplier might have suggested was getting your air duct cleaned without forgetting to replace your air filter which is the easy part because most people who own a home know how to change a furnace filter and do not need a cooling specialist to do it for them. The pandemic also placed ac technicians as essential workers and they were previously not considered as so. Who would have guessed that at some point in life the person you call for ac services such as repairing your thermostat would be the only outside person you would allow into your home. The pandemic has changed the way we view life in a lot of ways.
