Battling COVID-19 and the Flu Season by Improving Indoor Air Quality

Cold and flu season — and the ongoing concern about COVID-19 — makes indoor air quality more important than ever. Here’s how improving your home’s air quality can help protect your family.

How Airborne Illnesses Spread

Many viruses and bacteria travel through the air in tiny droplets and particles. In an enclosed home, these particles can recirculate through your HVAC system and spread to other rooms.

UV Germicidal Lights

UV lights installed in your air handler emit ultraviolet radiation that destroys the DNA of viruses, bacteria, and mold as they pass through. They’re one of the most effective tools for reducing airborne pathogens in your home.

High-Efficiency Air Filtration

MERV-11 and higher filters, along with systems like the Trane CleanEffects, capture extremely small particles — including many viruses. Upgrading your filtration is a simple but meaningful step.

iWave Ionization

The iWave air purifier uses needlepoint bipolar ionization to reduce pathogens, allergens, and odors throughout your home without producing harmful ozone. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 to upgrade your home’s air quality in Bradenton.
