Coronavirus & HVAC

North Carolina residents are increasingly trying to keep their family and themselves safer. Have you ever thought about the air circulating inside of your home? It's great that people are washing their hands more and wearing masks as they frequent out, but wearing a mask only provides a small amount of protection against spreading the coronavirus. There are many arguments about breathing in your own bodys toxins while constantly wearing a mask so when we get home the best thing to do it to throw it out or try and wash the mask

A magnifying glass is looking at a virus with the words covid-19 and your hvac in the background.

However, while we are in our home there is air circulating from all around us. There is a lot of research and opinions about how long the virus lasts in the air, but 2 things you rarely hear are:


1) Boosting Your Own Immunity.
2) Taking the steps to prepare your homes air quality to combat this virus.


We are definitely not doctors, nor do we play any on TV, however, we have seen the effects of installing UV lights and i-Wave-R air purifier in your home's HVAC duct system to kill germs and bacteria (more than just coronavirus).


First and foremost, we recommend that you consult the Centers for Disease Control’s advice for how to protect yourself from coronavirus disease.


Always check your air filters at least once a month (maybe more during this time) to make sure they are clean and clear of any debris that cold cause the air not to flow freely and cleanly.


You may also want to research into how to keep the air in your home fresher and free of pollutants and and allergens by studying the effects of UV light against the microns of the coronavirus as well as other airborne illness.


Island Breeze HVAC offers a truly amazing product for your HVAC system. iWave-R Air purifier mounts inside your HVAC unit, usually near the indoor blower assembly.


The way it works is that “as the air flows past the iWave-R, positive and negative ions actively purify the supply air, killing mold, bacteria and viruses in the coil and living space.” By killing bacteria and viruses in the unit, ductwork and indoor air, it reduces allergy symptoms and airborne particles.


The iWave-R is designed for duct systems up to six tons, features a flexible design with no replacement parts, and is installed professionally by Island Breeze HVAC in a matter of minutes.


If you have any concerns about the spread of viruses and bacteria (including COVID-19) throughout your North Carolina home, or you have questions regarding the i-Wave-R Air Purifier or any type of questions about your Air Conditioning system, call the service experts in Raleigh, Clayton, or Garner or the surrounding areas at Island Breeze HVAC. We will be happy to help you and guide you through any decision that fits your family and budget.


NOTE: Island Breeze HVAC Installs and i-Wave-R Air Purifier in every replacement system we install in North Carolina, to go along with our 10 or 12 Years No Tears Warranty on Parts and Labor.
