As it is a virus that can be spread through the air, many folks are rightly concerned about the relationship between COVID-19 and HVAC systems.

While we are not medical experts, we try our best to keep our clients informed of the latest information regarding COVID-19, HVAC systems, and how it impacts your home.

This has only increased during the pandemic. More and more, folks want to know about how they are affected by COVID-19 and HVAC systems.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we have put together a list of answers to our most commonly asked questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can COVID-19 Come Through My HVAC Ducts?<\/strong> &#8211; As it stands now, there is no definitive proof that COVID-19 will make it into your HVAC ducts. That being said, airborne transmission is possible, so it is key to take steps for safety. Increased humidity levels and high efficiency filters are a great start.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can Ventilation and Humidity Impact the Virus?<\/strong> &#8211; There is plenty of research that shows airborne particles love dry, still air. An increase of both humidification and the circulation of fresh air can help to limit the presence of airborne viral particles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Will High Efficiency Filters Help?<\/strong> &#8211; Installing these filters can be a great step to eliminating toxins and contaminants of all kinds from your home. There is no guarantee they can stop COVID-19 particles, as the microscopic particles may still slip through. No mitigation strategy can be 100% preventative.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do I Need to Clean My System?<\/strong> &#8211; Cleaning surfaces regularly is good practice around the house in a pandemic. That being said, there is no way we can guarantee cleaning your system will eliminate the presence of COVID-19, but a deep clean is always a good idea. This will result in your system running more efficiently and prevent any potential breakdowns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line_About_COVID-19_and_HVAC_Systems\"><\/span>The Bottom Line About COVID-19 and HVAC Systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/covid-19-hvac-systems-2-300x186.jpg\" alt=\" COVID-19 and HVAC Systems: What You Need to Know\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/covid-19-hvac-systems-2-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/covid-19-hvac-systems-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We must stress that while these are great ways to help make your home safer, there is no way to 100% eliminate the chance of the presence of COVID-19 particles.
