HVAC and COVID 19 - Practical Science Based Steps to Reduce Risk

With a little effort, we can keep the air inside our homes healthy. We breathe 3000 gallons of air per day, and now that most of us are working from home we have control over most of them.

To reduce the risk of getting COVID19, there are a few things we can do with some research behind them (mainly on other viruses since COVID19 is so new.)

1. Keep relative humidity between 30-50% with a humidifier and/or dehumidifier. 

2. Use a good filter, COVID19 stays airborne in small spit droplets for at least an hour, a MERV 13 or higher filter can help remove those

3. Bring in outdoor air - one flu study suggests recommended amounts of fresh air are the equivalent of inoculating 50-60% of people.
