Improving Indoor Air Quality During Flu Season

Improving Indoor Air Quality During Flu Season

Blog

Your HVAC system plays a major role in either circulating or filtering airborne particles during flu season.

Change Your Air Filter

Upgrade to a MERV 11 or higher filter and change it every 30-45 days during flu season rather than the standard 90-day schedule.

Run Your Fan on a Schedule

Setting your thermostat fan to run periodically circulates air through your filter more frequently and reduces airborne particle buildup.

Consider an Air Purifier

Whole-home air purifiers and UV light systems significantly reduce airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens circulating through your ductwork.

Control Humidity

Keep your home between 40-60% relative humidity. A whole-home dehumidifier can help maintain ideal levels year-round.
