How You can Protect Against the Coronavirus with your HVAC System

If you were asked “What does your HVAC system do?” you would probably answer something like “Keep my building cool in the summer” or “Make sure everyone inside is comfortable.” These are great answers, and correct. These are only the beginning, though. You see, your commercial HVAC system does just control the air temperature but actually the air quality as well. While it is keeping you, your staff, and your customers cool in the summer and warm in the winter, it is also removing dirt, allergens, and yes even germs from the air at the same time.

No time has this function ever been more important than now. The spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2) has all of us greatly concerned across the world and especially here in Washington where we have been hit especially hard. At Coffey Refrigeration, our top priority is the health and safety of everyone in this community, including you and your business. We take pride in selling the indoor air quality products to Kennewick, WA businesses that are extremely effective when it comes to improving your indoor air quality.

What You Need to Know About Your Health and Your HVAC Unit

Indoor air quality equipment can be designed to restore humidity levels, removing stale air and killing germs and bacteria at the same time. In many cases, this equipment is integrated with your existing ductwork and HVAC equipment. This is great news for small businesses who are stretched right now by fewer people coming through the door due to quarantines and social distancing.

There are in-duct air purifiers that are capable of eliminating dust, dander, and pollen from your entire building. Beyond this, there are air filtration systems that trap dust, pollen, bacteria, and other pollutants as well as humidifiers and dehumidifiers that are able to properly adjust the amount of moisture in your building. Many of these systems are used in hospitals and industrial facilities around the country because they are proven at maintaining indoor air quality. You want a complete system designed to keep everyone comfortable and healthy inside your Kennewick-area business.

It is important to note that these systems maintain a healthy air quality but do not prevent anyone from getting infected if you are not keeping up with wiping down solid surfaces and washing hands. Proper hygiene and other preventative measures should still be in place while the outbreak is so severe.
