It may seem obvious, but most air conditioners are built to blow cool air around your home or workplace. While the cool air is a benefit, the airflow of a residential HVAC system also pushes ultrafine particles into the air where they are suspended or until they are recirculated throughout your home or office. WebMD explains in a recent article that certain particles, like COVID-19, hang in the air for a very long time. Logically, a virus from one room has the potential to reach many rooms through typical HVAC circulation.
"Whether you have central air, a wall unit or a window unit, experts say there are precautions you can take to make sure the circulating air isn't spreading the virus."
