'From an air quality perspective airflow is always better, however since the home AC system pulls air from the home, filters, and then conditions it before supplying it back into the home, if there is an indoor air quality (IAQ) problem like a source of mold or an odor coming from inside or especially near the return grills it might be best then not to run the AC,' explains Tony Abate.
'The biggest concern for any airborne indoor contaminant is how to clean them from where we breathe. This is where technology like bi-polar air ionization can help as it attacks contaminants actively in the air like particles, spores and bacteria, and viruses and takes them away from where you breathe.
'When you combine this technology with a well-maintained AC system and good filters, you are taking a comprehensive approach to cleaning the air and protecting yourself from events like wildfires and airborne illnesses.'
