Mitigating health risks with HVAC air filtration plus purification

The first order of the day is to stay home plus stay safe. That is something I totally get. However, I also understand how completely maddening that must be for a lot of people. When you throw in the fact that the people I was with and I are all getting squeezed financially, it makes listening to the naysayers a bit easier. I hope plus pray that the people I was with and I are disciplined enough as countrymen to do this right plus not just make it worse. Being locked down in our HVAC controlled home is not picnic. But, it beats maybe dying from a virus or passing it on to someone else who then might die. This time inside the HVAC comfort of our home has gotten myself and others to consider our surroundings even more. I suppose that the indoor air quality of our home is impacted greatly by the HVAC system. It is time to become far more proactive about making sure the air inside our house is healthy. This started with getting a undoubtedly nice HEPA type HVAC air filter. What I had been using was not at all what I thought it was. It was our assumption that the cheaper filters were keeping out contagions plus contaminants. That is so far from the truth. The cheap HVAC air filters are only filtering out particles sizable enough to cause harm on the HVAC equipment. The modern air filter will trap plus remove over 99 percent of airborne contaminants. When I can, I am taking it up a notch with a whole house whole-house air purifier which will then kill nearly all biological contaminants.
