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

1. Try a UV Germicidal Lamp 

UV lamps focus on microorganisms including carriers of the flu. Bacteria and other organic particles are sterilized in special ultraviolet light, keeping them from spreading impacting your air quality. 

2. Adjust Indoor Humidity with a Humidifier/Dehumidifier  

Both excessive and insufficient humidity can lead to problems with your air quality. For instance, dry air can aggravate your skin and sinuses, while humid air may encourage mold and mildew. A humidifier or dehumidifier maintains your home’s moisture levels in better balance for a more complete sense of comfort. 

3. Wash or Replace Your Air Filters Regularly 

Your HVAC system’s air filter is a key component for both air quality and overall comfort. If you fail to clean or replace it, you might notice a drop in performance. Dirty air filters can become obstructed, enabling more airborne particles to spread. Specially designed models like HEPA filters can be great options for households with allergies or other respiratory concerns. 

4. Monitor Your IAQ Using a Smart Thermostat  

Modern HVAC accessories can help you with  more accurately monitoring your home’s air quality. Smart thermostats are an excellent example, and they come packed with helpful features for further optimizing your HVAC system. This includes closely watching your air quality.
