3 Ways to Improve Air Quality at Your Small Business

Follow this guide to learn ways to improve the air quality of your business and help prevent the spread of airborne viruses like coronavirus.

1. Purification Systems

A central air unit will naturally help spread air around your business, but you can take the process one step further with the installation of a purification system. A purification system is built right into the air ducts of your business and provides clean air as air goes in and out of vents.

The system can actively kill off virus particles in the air, along with dust and allergens. Breathing inside the business becomes easier and even though you cannot physically see the viruses or how they are removed from the air, the process constantly works and runs in the background.

The purification system will eliminate viruses and help prevent future problems. Moisture in the air and odors are eliminated easier with the system. Over time, you can prevent the growth of mold and ensure your business remains pollution-free.

Once installed, the system works on its own without any manual actions for a business owner.

2. Air Duct Maintenance

Over time, the air ducts at your business may have build-up and debris that a purification system cannot clean. The best way to help provide clean air is with manual air duct maintenance. HVAC workers can perform an annual service that inspects and cleans the duct system. Using flashlights and advanced equipment, workers can inspect for dust and debris build-up.

In some cases, you may have cobwebs or dirt that has built up and impacted the air quality. If small animals have gotten into your air ducts, then any deceased animals could cause odors and air problems. Rodent nests could also cause issues. A full cleaning process will clean out all the elements and give the air a smooth flow to your vents.

Technicians will also inspect the area to ensure there are no leaks in the ducts. Air leaks can create air quality issues and performance issues. Technicians will fix the leaks and help prevent any problems in the future.

3. Air Filter Replacement

A key part of a clean central air system is the air filter. The air filter catches big and small pieces of debris to ensure they are not blown through the ducts. Unfortunately, the air filters can last a certain amount of time before they are filled and need replacement. Instead of constantly checking the air filter, you can hire an HVAC company for an annual service agreement.

Once a year, a technician can come to inspect your air conditioning unit and replace the air filter. Along with the air filter, a full inspection of the unit is completed. The inspection includes a detailed look at all of the fans and blowers built into the unit to ensure they are clean and working properly.

A technician can also inspect the air quality of the business and help prevent excess humidity or moisture in the unit or dispersed through the ducts. With proper maintenance, you can ensure your central air runs efficiently and provides you with clean air.
