How your HVAC can fight viruses and bacteria in your home

Can the corona virus transmit through AC? – HVAC systems are units that play a huge role in the air quality for buildings of any type. Not only do they work to provide various amounts of comfort, but they also work equally as hard to create an indoor environment that’s as healthy as possible. In the event that a building ends up with an HVAC system that’s malfunctioning, not only will this make the overall environment itself uncomfortable, but it can also create a health hazard as well.

Control Humidity

One of the biggest and most important benefits of an HVAC system that’s well-designed is having much better control over factors such as bacteria, mold and other types of harmful viruses in the air and throughout your home. These types of organisms have such a negative impact on an individual’s health and a building’s indoor air quality. The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends that relative humidity be kept below 60%, as well as between 30% and 50%.

“For “extreme” comfort, efficiency, and humidity control – The Bryant Evolution Extreme is the most advanced equipment that we have available. The outdoor condenser is a variable speed, 5-stage inverter-drive compressor with variable speed, modulated condenser fan motor. The indoor 2-Stage gas furnace comes with a modulated variable speed indoor blower motor. This system will require the Bryant Evolution “Connex” advanced wall controller. The multi-stage compressor and modulated fan keep energy costs low by using multiple cooling stages, while working in tandem with the indoor blower motor and can run as low as 40% total capacity to maximize efficiency. With the modulated compressor communicating with the variable speed fans motors, we are able to give ultimate control over your comfort, efficiency, and humidity. The “Connex” controller comes with Wi-Fi, app access, service reminders, weather forecast, outdoor temperature, humidity adjustment, vacation programming, error code storage, energy tracking and much more,” Mark LeGare, The Coolest LLC owner, said.

Prevent Allergies

Dry air is also able to cause particles to remain airborne for a longer period of time, which, as a result, can increase the possibility of viral infections occurring in individuals. Humid air can also increase the growth of bacteria and mold of different types, which can result in a negative overall impact on both health and indoor air quality.
