Commercial HVAC Services in Richmond During Coronavirus Pandemic

We don’t know when our lives will get back to normal, but we do know that businesses will reopen sometime in the future. Whether yours has been up and running during the coronavirus pandemic or your doors have been shut, this is a good idea to look at how commercial HVAC services can keep your employees (and customers!) comfortable and safe.

In this post, we’ll discuss some of the actions you can take to protect your business during this time. We know that money is tight for many, but making this type of investment can save you money and stress in the long run.

Replace Air Filters

It’s a good idea to change your air filters, both at home and at work, about once a month. You’d be amazed by how many contaminants quickly become trapped in filters, especially during allergy season here in Richmond.

Now, with the regular flu season winding down and COVID-19 still posing a threat, it’s even more important to change air filters regularly. You might also want to consider talking to a professional about the different types of filters, and choosing one that provides maximum performance.

Clean Air Ducts

Just like air filters can become clogged, dust and debris can build up inside your business’s air ducts. When that happens, even with a clean filter, you’ll be spreading particulates through the air every time you use your heating and cooling system.

Every business is different, so it’s best to talk to a trained technician about how often you should have your air ducts cleaned. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, though, you may want to give your workplace a fresh start.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

As we’ve already discussed, changing air filters and having your ductwork cleaned is an important step toward improving indoor air quality in your business. There are, however, a few additional factors to take into consideration:

• • Humidity Levels – Richmond is a humid city, but when indoor moisture levels get too high, it can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. It can also cause damage to electrical equipment.
  • Proper Air Circulation – You want air to flow freely throughout your establishment. A professional can help you identify whether there are any hindrances or blockages affecting proper air circulation.
  • Cooking Vents – If you run a business or are involved in food preparation, you will need to ensure that kitchen pollutants are being filtered out effectively.
  • Renovations and Cleaning – If your business recently underwent renovations or a deep cleaning, please have a ventilation plan to prevent the lingering chemicals from impacting anyone’s health.

   

  

  Running a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be difficult — especially during times like these. There will be many things beyond your control, but providing good indoor air quality for customers and employees is something you can (and should) do.
