Grandpa was experiencing chest problems and headaches due to the faulty AC system

My grandfather was a man who believed in his ability to take care of himself despite his age.

He always insisted we let him stay at his house and not force him to come to live with us. My parents didn’t like that since he lived alone in a big house on the other side of the city. Still, we had learned it was pointless to push the subject. We let him be and only went to visit then leave for our house. One morning, we were having breakfast when mum got a call from grandpa. He wasn’t feeling well and had gone to the hospital due to chest problems and headaches. When my parents got to the hospital, the doctor advised them to check the indoor air quality in the house. The doctor suspected the AC unit in the house was causing my grandfather to develop health issues. Mom drove my grandfather straight to our house despite his protests as dad checked the AC unit in his home. Dad called an AC repair and servicing company on the way to meet him there and check out the state of the air conditioning. The doctor had made the right diagnosis. The AC unit in the house was at fault because there was a musty and foul smell. It seemed my grandpa hadn’t asked for duct cleaning in a long time. There was mold, dust, and mildew in the air vents producing the smell plus so many spores. Breathing in the harmful spores had caused my grandfather to develop health issues. Dad authorized the AC worker to clean out the air ducts in the house and service the air conditioning. He also got some information about AC maintenance plans for my grandpa.
