While enabling proper ventilation in your home by opening windows and letting fresh air circulate can help reduce airborne contaminants, including viruses, this isn't enough to safeguard your household completely from the virus. In fact, there is no single solution, rather several best practices that should be enacted, including:

• Improve natural ventilation with outside air. Open more windows or doors if weather permits, especially in a way that promotes cross ventilation through open windows at opposite sides of the home.
• Upgrade your HVAC filters. Running your HVAC system filters the air as it's circulated. Just be sure that your fan is on, as HVAC systems only filter air when the fan is in use.
• Invest in an air purifier for your home. Air purifiers, when part of a comprehensive safety regimen can greatly decrease your changes of exposure to the virus. Additionally, there are a wide variety of makes and models suited for virtually any home size or budget.

Rather than trap or mitigate indoor air pollution, a purification system seeks to completely eradicate common pollutants and bacteria. Both methods are effective in their own way, but air purifiers combine both methods, first trapping and then destroying germs, pathogens, mold, and other common air pollutants that are common to indoor air.

Our team can seamlessly integrate a brand-new Air Purifier system into your home, helping you:

• Reduce common allergens. Allergens like dust, pet dander, pollen, mold, and more are all caught and eliminated by the purifier, helping you reduce common allergy symptoms.
• Improve respiratory health. Even non-allergy sufferers will benefit from cleaner, healthier home air, which can reduce the instances of seasonal illness and colds.
• Get a cleaner home. Tired of constantly dusting, vacuuming, and more? Air purifiers can help you get a cleaner home!
• Reduce odd home odors. Most common home odors come from cooking oils, bacteria, mold, and similar airborne chemicals. An air purifier removes and mitigates these, making your home smell better, too.

Here in South Jersey we get some wild weather-hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and plenty of mix-and-match in between. Because of this we need to run our cooling and heating systems nearly all the time, which is a process that can quickly sap your home of healthy humidity. A whole-home humidifier system installed into your ductwork can help you retain that ideal, optimal relative humidity range, providing big benefits that include:

• Better skin, ear, nose health. Dry air quickly saps moisture from your skin and body, which can contribute to itchy skin, dry nasal passages, and ear infections.
• Lowered allergies. Adequately moist home air helps to mitigate dust and spore accumulation, reducing the troubles many of us face come spring and fall.
• A healthier home. Wooden furniture, house plants, paint, and more all suffer in low-moisture environments. Humidifier installation will mitigate these common complications!
• A boost in heating efficiency. Air in the right humidity range (30-50%) feels warmer naturally, helping you get the most of your furnace or heat pump come late fall and winter.

Similar to air purifiers and filtration systems, it's hard to give a definitive yes or no. Because of our mixed climate it's very common for South Jersey homeowners to deal with homes that are too dry because we run our furnaces and AC systems nearly all year round. A good way to tackle this is by asking yourself these questions:

• Do I regularly suffer from increased allergy symptoms?
• Is the air in my home very dry?
• Do I frequently deal with ear, nose, and throat irritation?
• Is my skin constantly dry?
