While “Stay Home and Stay Safe” is conventional wisdom, there is growing concern around the coronavirus risk at home. New evidence suggests that ACs can increase the Coronavirus spread, and as people are questioning their safety inside their homes, a solution is available!

This second wave of the coronavirus pandemic has put everyone under an unprecedented series of ‘Lockdown’. We have all become silent spectators locked inside our homes. As the virus is spreading, people are wearing masks and adapting to social distancing. The whole idea is to create physical separation, but inside our houses, many of us are living with our families and in close quarters with our neighbors. Even if people are in lockdown, it is prudent to think about our living situation as the spread of risk is higher indoors as compared to outdoors. Additionally, you might not be aware, but you might be risking your health by using your AC. How? This blog will answer your questions.

Is my AC a potential threat for spreading COVID-19?

n only a few weeks, the Coronavirus pandemic has profoundly changed our lives, beyond the impact on health, jobs, and income. Even when people are inside their homes, their personal safety against COVID-19 is compromised.

Peak summer is already here, and it’s no secret that we can’t do much without AC in this scorching heat. As many cases of corona transmission due to poor ventilation have come forth, the question that is making families worried the most is, whether ACs are a potential threat inside their homes?

There is increasing evidence that poor ventilation and air conditioners can spread coronavirus inside enclosed spaces. Many scientists believe that it is an important but often overlooked factor. This has to do with the way AC works. In an indoor environment, when the AC is turned on, the recirculated air from the vent can push infectious droplets from people in one room to those in another room. On one hand, the AC can make your room feel better on a hot day, but simply recirculating the existing air inside your house, can increase the viral load in your room or house in the presence of a coronavirus patient.

How can I protect my family inside my home?

The good news is that the use of correctly designed UV light for the Air Conditioner is a solution. UV light for an air conditioner can basically turn an air conditioning unit into a UV air purifier so that when your AC is on, it can provide cooling as well as sanitize the air inside your home on a continuous basis. 

UV air purifiers use UVC light to destroy viruses by damaging the protein they use to reproduce. UV light in AC efficiently reduces the threat of the infectious spread of viruses like Coronavirus and has been recommended by the CDC. Also, since your AC is a perfect hiding spot for harmful organisms like bacteria, mold, fungi, etc because it is damp and dark, a UV light for air conditioners can combat contaminants that collect on your AC cooling coil.
