My question is more to people who are snowbirds then year round folks. I bought my house (patio villa) about 5 years ago. Due to family situation I wasn't able to use it until last winter and this winter. We are here from Dec to mid May. Both last year and this year my fiancé gets sick as soon as we get here. Up till now I attributed her sickness to colds and flu like illnesses especially when I hear how many people have been sick. But I am wondering if there might be something else at play here. When we leave in May I set my humidistat to 60% and set my thermostat on cool setting at 82 degrees. This illness thing has me wondering how much my AC is running at these settings and if it allows for stuff to grow in my air ducts i.e. thus being the cause of my fiancé getting sick. Appreciate any input as to how folks leave there homes when they leave and if anyone has gotten sick from their HVAC systems.
Thank you,
Bob
