Is Your Home Making You Healthier… or Sicker? [ft. Reid Price of Homeys]

Is your home making you sick? Start with the air you breathe and the water you shower in. Kyle Hulbert sits down with Reid Price, president and co-founder of Homeys, a Florida healthy home company that tests a home's air and water and traces problems back to the source. They get into: 👉 Why tightly sealed homes trap moisture and grow mold in the HVAC system 👉 What "fresh air systems" look like in real houses 👉 Why an under-sink filter does nothing for the water you shower in 👉 The difference between filtering air and purifying it 👉 Why the highest-rated air filter on the shelf can backfire 👉 The house where the tap had more chlorine than the pool 👉 And more! This is a field report from someone whose company sells home testing and fixes, not a research review. We checked the claims afterward and corrected them below. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro + Disclaimer 01:25 What a "Healthy Home Company" Does 02:17 Air and Water: How a House Gets Into You 04:16 Does Homeys Remediate Mold? 04:28 Why Florida Homes Trap Moisture 06:22 How Your HVAC Spreads the Problem 07:03 Does Florida Require Fresh Air? 09:06 What an ERV Is and How to Do It Right 12:34 Crawl Space vs. Slab on Grade 13:14 Kyle's HVAC Setup 14:08 Kyle's Whole-House Water Filter 15:25 Why Your Shower Matters as Much as Your Sink 16:58 How an Under-Sink RO Filter Stops Working 18:40 What a Whole-House System Costs 19:27 Air Purifiers: What They Do 20:24 The 4 Keys to Indoor Air Quality 22:05 The Cheapest Fix Nobody Does 24:27 Why a Higher MERV Filter Can Backfire 27:27 What Else Goes Wrong in a Home 27:46 New-Build Defects and the $3M Home With No Caulk 29:37 Why Florida Tap Water Is So Chlorinated 30:03 Chlorine vs. Chloramine 31:05 The Tap That Had More Chlorine Than the Pool 32:22 Test Your Body or Your House First? 33:50 Outro + Disclaimer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS An under-sink filter treats one tap. Showers and baths need a filter on the main water line Dust feeds mold. An air filter that fits and gets changed on time is mold prevention Aim for MERV 13 or as high as your system can handle, and ask an HVAC tech before you jump If you feel off with no clear cause, your home is worth testing alongside your body ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 CORRECTIONS & SOURCES ✏️ Info on Water: https://www.homeys.com/services/water ✏️ Greenville Water:https://purewaterguys.com/blogs/water... ✏️ EPA — National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.
