Trade Air Australia Air Quality
Air Quality is sterilisation, purification and ventilation solution for your ducted air conditioning to help reduce the spread of virus’, to control bacteria and mould growth, and improve ventilation for healthier indoor air.
The truth about indoor air quality
Many think that while we are inside with our air conditioner on we are safe from the virus’ and bacteria that lurk in the air outside.
The truth is we are just as exposed, if not more, inside as we are outside due to the majority of air conditioners, both commercial and residential, recirculate the air with little to no ventilation, and poor or irregular maintenace schedules.
What is recircualted indoor air?
Ducted air conditioning draws the air from the area into a central location (return air box) before pushing the air through the ductwork and out of the diffusers to be recirculated again. A small fresh air intake is usually installed within the return air box that will provide some outdoor air to dilute the recirculated air.
Split system units and multi-head split system units also recirculate the air from within the area but they do not have an mechnical intake for the outside air to dilute the recirculated air. Without an open window or external door the indoor air is 100% recirculated and therefore may be more harmful.
Why is ventilation important?
- Adequate ventilation dilutes contaminated air reducing the risk of infecting others with airborne bacteria, virus or fungi
- Without ventilation, the air can become stale and uncomfortable
- Ventilation helps maintains CO2 levels that can otherwise make us sleepy
Regular maintenance is more than cleaning the filter
Regular maintenace of air conditioning systems is neglected due to the ol’ out of sight, out of mind approach. Most employers, home owners and renters don’t understand the true cost to running an unmaintained air conditioning system. Maintained air conditioning systems;
- have healthier indoor air quality which reduces many respiratory illnesses caused by airborne virus’, bacteria and fungi like the common cold, flu and most recently coronavirus.
- can have reduced electricity bills because the system isn’t working harder to supply the desired temperature and airflow.
- has fewer repairs due to unnecessary wear and tear.
- lasts longer than most unmaintained systems proving a longer return on the investment.
How can we help…
Trade Air Australia have practical solutions for most HVAC system operations during and post the coronavirus pandemic that addresses the REHVA evidence on the COVID-19 impact on air conditioners in the workplace.
Our Air Quality solution is recommended to be in conjunction with your regular maintenance schedule – not to replace. Should you require a risk analysis prior to resuming HVAC operations, we will be happy to arrange an appointment on your behalf with a trusted technician in your area.
