It was another afternoon in detention, and this time around, it was not something that was not my doing.
Thirty minutes later, it was getting a little too stuffy for comfort; Even the educator on duty observed the change in indoor air conditions, being a guy who can barely keep still, I was bored out of my mind.
When it was apparent that there was something wrong with the air quality systems, I asked the educator if I could have a look at the Heating and Air Conditioning unit… At first, he thought I was joking, or I wanted to leave detention, however when I insisted he asked me, he asked me if I had ever dealt with an whole-house air purifier. When I told his that my guardian worked at the local supplier and I had l received the workings of some heat and AC products, he called the maintenance guy who led me to the unit. The first thing I inspected was the air filter, then it was so dirty, and I was relieved to find out that it was a washable filter, so I cleaned it. The next thing was to check the thermostat, and the un-even temperatures were high. After inspecting the heat pump and finding that everything was okay according to the little knowledge, I proceeded to check out the ductwork. There were leaks, and since I did not have any duct tape, they would have to call a professional for duct sealing and duct cleaning not just because the air ducts had years of dust however also to find a possible blockage in the vents. By the time I got back to class, detention time was almost over. I also observed that the educator had brought in an media whole-house air purifier from the staffroom, undoubtedly empty. I reported my findings and asked his to take the necessary actions.
