We became aware that my infant was experiencing allergic reactions because of something in the house when she was six months old.
- We did a lot of cleaning, changed our wool rugs for hypoallergenic ones, and sealed the garden window because that part of the apartment always seemed to get dustier than the rest.
We also needed the best indoor air quality, so we made a lot more calls to the HVAC repairman than other people for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service. However, none of those measures were successful because something continued to cause the dust irritations. Following several calls to the heating industry experts for boiler repairs, we had already switched from the boiler and received the heater and heat pump combination they referred to as a hybrid boiler. Nevertheless, it was no longer working for us. We had never experienced downtime with it, according to the logic behind it. A hydronic boiler would serve as a whole-apartment heater without adding any contaminants to the air, the heating expert eventually suggested. The idea was to get it laboring in all of the rooms where the child would spend the most time, including the sleeping area. That made sense to me because we would then try turning off the heater or heater replacement to see if the dust irritations subsided. The additional heat and AC equipment would also need to be serviced, so I was a little worried about heater repair, but I was reassured that it wouldn’t be as hectic as I had anticipated. I was so relieved that the radiant floors worked because I was worried that she would develop adenoids or something worse like asthma. Fortunately, the triggers were identified and eliminated, though. It has been a relief to raise him without worrying about her dust allergies, even though we may move eventually.
