Maybe it should have been obvious, but it turns out pine trees are extremely proficient pollen delivery systems.  The new On Time Air Filters founders home is smack in the middle of acres, and acres of pine trees.  This is no joking matter.  We arrived in the middle of June, and found a quarter-inch layer of yellow powder atop every exterior flat spot around the house.  Yellow clouds were everywhere, and in this mountain home, the windows are open.  This left the same yellow designer touch everywhere inside. 

Neither Mark nor I suffers typically from allergies, but it was hard to get a sneeze-free series of breath in under these conditions.  What was our first thought? That's right.  Better check the hvac air filter in our rental home.  Our landlords were good enough to treat us to a merv 8 air filter.  But, no surprise, it too was adorned in a healthy yellowy crust.  

We didn't waste any time in changing our air filter.  The next 4 days also brought four unbroken days of rain, apparently completely unheard of in this summer paradise.  The new filter and this natural cleansing rain have minimized airborne particles in the house, and we and our dog are breathing easier.  

Surrounded by profuse amounts of pine trees.  There is no better reason to start your air filter delivery service with OTAF today.
