How To Maintain Healthy Air Inside Your Home

Maintaining clean air inside our homes is crucial in staying healthy. After all, the air we breathe goes directly into our bodies, and if it’s ridden with bacteria and viruses, we end up being more prone to becoming sick.

As an HVAC installation service provider in Davao, we understand that air conditioning systems are not just about comfort. We understand that the quality of the air we breathe is highly important in ensuring good health. But how exactly can you make sure you’re breathing healthy air at home? We’ve rounded up a couple of useful tips.

When you stay in an air-conditioned room a lot of the time, you’ll most likely be breathing in what is known as recycled air. As careful as we try to be with our AC units, it cannot be avoided that germs may enter the room. With the same air that’s circulating again and again, there will be little to no chance of those germs to be released.

You will need to air out the space every once in a while in order to allow fresh air to flow in. Consider opening the door or the window every once in a while. It may also be a good idea to install ventilation fans in order to allow ventilation without warm air mixing in.

There are also many technological measures we can take to kill the bacteria that may possibly accumulate on our air-conditioning/HVAC units. Gadgets like UV wands are quick and effective ways to deal with surface bacteria. You can also make use of UV lights in order to lessen the presence of airborne bacteria. You can even up the ante by installing a direction UV-C light on your AC unit to treat either cooled or heated air throughout your home

The best way to make sure that your AC and your HVAC system are in good shape is to regularly get it checked and maintained. Your AC leaking, resulting in stagnant water, can create mold which is a known breeding ground for bacteria. Leaks cannot be always easily identified, and so routine maintenance is important for tracking such leaks.

Moreover, regular maintenance helps make sure that your HVAC system is thoroughly cleaned, and a clean system is the best way to ensure clean air. Cleaning an HVAC system thoroughly, however, is challenging since you will have to pull equipment apart. While it’s definitely possible to do this on your own, you run the risk of damaging the equipment.

Taking note of these tips and making sure they’re implemented regularly will help you to make sure you maintain clean air at home. Better yet, it’s recommended that you keep a reliable HVAC contractor’s number handy.
