My wife and I have three small children and they absolutely love animals.
- I never grew up in a home with cats or dogs, because everyone in my family has allergies.
I am actually allergic to dogs, but I take an antihistamine everyday so the kids can have a family pet. Things weren’t terribly bad in the beginning. I took a Benadryl everyday and during the spring when the pollen count was high, I periodically used an inhaler. As the dog got older and bigger, my allergies continued to get worse. Eventually I had to find a way to get rid of the dander and allergens or the dog. I knew getting rid of our family pet was not an option, so I consulted with a company in town that handles Indoor Air Solutions. The company handles air filtration systems for residential and commercial businesses. They were happy to send someone to speak with me about the products available and they didn’t charge anything for the consultation. I expected a high-pressure sales pitch, but the service technician was very friendly and did not try to sell me any products at all. He simply provided all of the options that were available to help eliminate the indoor allergens. When the meeting was over, the service technician left his card and all of the information necessary to contact the company to make an appointment. I received a couple of additional estimates, but none of them were as reasonable or as friendly as the first person that arrived. After carefully looking into all of my options, I decided to install a whole home air purifier.
