May is recognized by the American Lung Association as Clean Air Month. There is no better time than now to acknowledge the health benefits of clean air in your homes and businesses.
As the world continues to battle a pandemic, many people are diligently cleaning and sanitizing their homes and businesses to reduce the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), a highly contagious disease transmitted through respiratory droplets. This virus along with allergens and debris can travel through the air, which is why United Refrigeration, Heating and Air wants to help customers around Central Florida understand ways to clean and purify your indoor air.
Common Culprits and Indoor Air Pollution
Indoor air pollution can threaten the health of people of all ages around Ocala, The Villages, and across the nation. In addition to deadly viruses and bacteria, there may be many other dangers lurking in your indoor air. The most common culprits are smoke, pesticides, and chemicals. Experts suggest avoiding smoking indoors and limiting use of pesticides and strong chemicals.
During this era of stringent cleaning and disinfecting measures recommended by the CDC, it is quite common to be using household cleaners, solvents, and chemicals in our homes and businesses. While cleaning solutions are hard to avoid right now, it is important to always provide proper ventilation when cleaning, and always check the label to ensure you are not inappropriately mixing dangerous chemicals.
HVAC System Solutions for Indoor Air
Poor circulation of indoor air particularly worsens health conditions like allergies or asthma. A simple way to start improving indoor air is by properly maintaining your HVAC system.
Most simply, you can drastically limit pollutants like dust, debris, dander, and other allergens by changing your HVAC filters every month and scheduling preventive HVAC maintenance check-ups with United’s professionals. We specialize in ensuring your systems are running clean.
Notably, it’s also important to keep indoor humidity at optimal levels. An efficient HVAC system can help maintain proper humidity levels, while also filtering allergens from the air you breathe.
Air Purification Systems for Your Home or Business
For the ultimate air purification solution, homes and businesses are choosing to install Global Plasma Solutions (GPS), which is a needlepoint bi-polar ionization cold plasma technology. United’s experts recommend GPS as a no-maintenance air purifying solution for homeowners and businessowners wanting to improve their indoor air quality.
We are proud installers of REME HALO® Whole Home In-Duct Air Purifier. If you are interested in more information please contact us.
Once installed, the clean-air system’s needlepoint ionization breaks down gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor) to provide odor control. Most importantly, GPS also provides filtration for airborne particles, controls allergens, and helps kill mold, bacteria, and viruses.
