Health is important to all of us. Unfortunately, there is a little understanding of the risk that HVAC-borne germs can be for everyone.  Efforts to battle HVAC germs in medical clinics have drawn media consideration since antibiotic-resistant germs have started to show up noticeable all around in hospitals.

Optimal Humidity

What matters for hospitals is also of importance to your home. According to an article by CNN in 2013 scientists suggest that homes with ambient humidity between 40% and 60% have fewer flu germs in the air and on surfaces such as sinks and countertops. In fact, getting the humidity in your home to these levels can reduce the survival rate of flu viruses by up to 30%. A humidifier can control your humidity at home to create the ideal humidity level during the dryer seasons.

Cooling and Productivity

Air conditioning systems, as well as dehumidifiers, can improve the air quality by reducing the air temperature at your home and by removing moisture in the air to help prevent mold and mildew as soon as humidity and air temperature increases due to weather changes. Besides the positive health aspects for your home or office, it is also widely known that productivity peaks in comfortable temperatures, not in sweltering heat or shivering cold.

Keeping it clean and germ-free

Finally, if you want your HVAC system to be as germ-free as possible, regular maintenance is important. All appliances by NOVAER come with detailed cleaning instructions to ensure the product works correctly.
