A Few Tips for Improving Indoor Air Quality During Cold and Flu Season 

1. Try a UV Germicidal Lamp 

UV lamps target microorganisms including carriers of the flu. Bacteria and similar organic particles are deactivated in strong ultraviolet light, keeping them from spreading impacting your air quality. 

2. Balance Your Humidity with a Humidifier/Dehumidifier  

Too much or too little humidity can cause problems with your air quality. For instance, dry air can irritate your skin or sinuses, while moist air may promote mold and mildew. A humidifier or dehumidifier keeps your home’s moisture levels in optimum balance for a more comfortable environment. 

3. Wash or Replace Your Air Filters Consistently 

Your HVAC system’s air filter is a key component for both air quality and total comfort. If you fail to clean or replace it, you might notice a decrease in performance. Aging air filters can become blocked, enabling more airborne particles to spread. Specialized filter models like HEPA filters can be ideal for households with allergies or other respiratory worries. 

4. Monitor Your IAQ with a Smart Thermostat  

Current HVAC accessories can assist you in  more effectively monitoring your home’s air quality. Smart thermostats are a great example, and they come packed with helpful features for further enhancing your HVAC system. This includes keeping an eye on your air quality.  

5. Schedule an Air Quality Test with LTS Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Occasionally, problems with the air quality might be more difficult to detect. Seasoned technicians have the right tools and knowledge to perform thorough air quality testing. With local experts like LTS Plumbing & Heating Inc. on your side, you can detect pollutants, circulation issues and other aspects of poor indoor air quality.
