In light of the coronavirus, I have decided that I need to upgrade my indoor air purification system- which, up until now, has consisted of occasionally changing my air filter.

I have since switched from my MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) air filter to a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing) air filter.

The HEPA air filters are the same quality of air filters that are used in hospitals. While the HEPA air filters do slow the air flow from the air conditioner (slightly) I think it’s well worth the small cost. I have also purchased a dehumidifier to help keep the indoor air quality at optimal levels to avoid viruses and bacteria. My HVAC provider has also come by and performed a ductwork cleaning on my HVAC system’s ductwork. In addition to a ductwork cleaning, this included duct sealing to ensure air cleanliness. I take my indoor air quality very seriously and hope that others take this global pandemic as an opportunity to do better. Indoor air quality is an important factor in stopping the spread of this virus. I hope that not only individuals, but corporations and places of work take a little extra time to make sure that their indoor air quality is at the best it can be. If anyone here has any other recommendations for improving indoor air quality, please let me know. I am happy to take on any additional precautions. And if you have any questions about how to improve your indoor air quality, don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly! Thank you.
