Making informed decisions about your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system can significantly reduce the likelihood of viruses circulating within your living space. In this guide, we'll explore practical steps you can take to fortify your home against viruses, from regular air filter changes to leveraging the benefits of controlled humidity and UV light installations. Join us on a journey to keep your living space safe and healthy with EMCO Tech Heating & Cooling.
By making smart decisions you can reduce the likelihood of viruses spreading.
1. Change your air filter! We can’t say it enough. Filters should be changed monthly to catch and reduce tiny particles in the air that can spread viruses.
2. Moisture the air! Humidity affects how long the virus is stable and dramatically reduces how contagious the virus is. Studies have found that the reason flu season is in the winter due to the lack of humidity.
3. Keep your house temperatures warm! Warm air holds more moisture (see previous section). Additionally, body natural defenses are less active in the cold.
4. UV lights! Install in-duct UV light to sanitize the air flowing through your vents and kill airborne bacteria and viruses.
