With customers worried about the novel coronavirus, the technicians at EAC Heating & Air are getting many calls about air quality. If you too have wondered how to kill viruses in your home and whether your HVAC system or other systems can help you combat illness, read on for more information on keeping your family safe.
The Best Way to Remove Viruses From Your Home
EAC Heating & Air professionals have years of experience helping homeowners improve air quality, and we have a number of solutions that may work for you. We are a factory-authorized dealer for Carrier, giving you access to one of the most trusted names in filtration, ventilation and indoor air quality products. EAC also carries a variety of other highly effective devices to help keep your air clean.
RGF’s REME HALO® Air Purification System generates ionized hydrogen peroxide molecules and disperses them into the air in your home. These molecules are harmless to you, but they neutralize viruses, bacteria, mold spores and odors. They also cling to dust, pollen, dander and other pollutants, making these allergen particles larger so your home’s air filtration system can catch them more effectively.
Our team can also install, service and repair air cleaners capable of trapping allergens smaller than a grain of sand.
Another option to keep your home free of viruses and allergens is to contact EAC Heating & Air about ventilators and dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers can help you reduce the risk of mold in your home, which is important for respiratory health and crucial in preventing allergic reactions. Ventilators can also help clear the air for easier breathing.
Can UV Lights Kill Viruses?
EAC Heating & Air also sells Carrier UV lights. These are installed at the point where air from your HVAC system enters your home. Ultraviolet light mixes up the nuclear material of viruses and bacteria to kill them quickly. UV lights can be especially effective for hard-to-clean products and areas.
Your HVAC system may have vents and other ss which are hard to clean, and harmful substances can get trapped in these zones. UV lights are one way to prevent viruses and bacteria from getting outside the system and into the air in your home.
Can Filters Protect Me From COVID-19?
Too little is known about COVID-19 to know which products are effective. The cells of the virus are very small, so standard HEPA filters, air purifiers and ionizers may not be effective depending on how and where the virus is contracted. However, good air quality in your home may help prevent allergic reactions caused by mold, dust and other allergens, which is important since COVID-19 worsens with existing respiratory conditions.
