Five tips for Protecting Your Indoor Air Quality Through Cold and Flu Season 

1. Install a UV Germicidal Lamp 

UV lamps focus on microorganisms including carriers of the flu. Bacteria and similar organic particles are sterilized in special ultraviolet light, stopping them from spreading your air quality. 

2. Adjust Your Humidity with a Humidifier/Dehumidifier  

Both high and low humidity can cause problems with your air quality. For example, dry air can aggravate your skin or sinuses, while moist air may promote mold and mildew. A humidifier or dehumidifier keeps your home’s humidity in perfect balance for a more comfortable environment. 

3. Clean or Replace Your Air Filters Regularly 

Your HVAC system’s air filter is a crucial component for both air quality and general comfort. If you forget to clean or replace it, you might notice a decline in performance. Dirty air filters can become clogged, enabling more airborne particles to circulate. Specially designed models like HEPA filters can be great options for households with allergies or other respiratory problems. 

4. Keep an Eye on Your IAQ Using a Smart Thermostat  

Current HVAC accessories can assist you in  more accurately monitoring your home’s air quality. Smart thermostats are a prime example, and they come filled with beneficial features for further improving your HVAC system. This includes keeping an eye on your air quality.  

5. Arrange for an Air Quality Test with AC Sales

Occasionally, poor air quality might be harder to identify. Seasoned technicians have the required tools and knowledge to perform comprehensive air quality testing. With local experts like AC Sales on your side, you can identify pollutants, circulation issues and other consequences of poor indoor air quality.
