Detroit-area heating and cooling company highlights how improved IAQ can help keep airborne illnesses at bay
DETROIT, Sept. 17, 2026 — C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, a trusted Detroit-area heating and cooling company with more than seven decades of experience, reminds Michigan homeowners of the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) as a frontline defense in preventing the spread of airborne illnesses. As seasonal temperatures drop, residents spend more time inside, elevating the potential for the spread of respiratory viruses like influenza, RSV and COVID variants.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors where IAQ may be two to five times more polluted than outside air, making indoor air quality essential to maintaining good health.
“A high-performing HVAC system can dramatically improve indoor air quality,” said C & C Heating & Air Conditioning General Manager Dayna Hottle. “A seasonal checkup now will ensure that your HVAC is running smoothly before cooler weather arrives and can help reduce the risk of spreading indoor germs and viruses.”
Hottle recommends other steps homeowners should consider to help minimize airborne germs and viruses and promote healthier indoor air, including:
- Duct cleaning: This process removes dust, pollen, mold, smoke residue and other pollutants that can accumulate inside air ducts and spread as an HVAC system heats or cools the home.
- Whole-home air filtration: These systems work in concert with central heating and cooling units to remove dust and particulates.
- UV germicidal lights: These devices use ultraviolet light to kill contaminants including bacteria, viruses and mold spores that may be present in heating and cooling systems.
“Improving IAQ also promotes better airflow, more consistent temperatures and even better sleep,” said Hottle. “Keeping your systems in check gives you the peace of mind that after a long day you can come home and relax in a healthier, more comfortable space.”
