Another option is to make a small-but-worthy investment in a water heater timer. A timer allows you to control when the unit is heating water according to your needs, that way it isn’t running and expending unecessary energy when you’re not home. Water heater timers are typically inexpensive, and you can find them at your local home improvement store or online, like this one from Intermatic ($58.31, Amazon) — a small price to pay to save money in the long run!

Riverdale, NJ — The launch of a new portable air purifier by Camfil continues its promise “Clean Air A Human Right.”<br />
Camfil delivers the products needed for critical applications, such as COVID-19 treatment. The CamCleaner CC500 functions as both a portable air purifier or ducted negative air system for creating isolation areas. Some of the salient features include:<br />

Can Air Conditioning Transmit the Coronavirus?<br /> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/air-conditioning-coronavirus/">https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/air-conditioning-coronavirus/</a><br />
Much of the reporting on this topic refers to a study out of the University of California Davis and the University of Oregon (PDF) that found simply opening windows can effectively dilute the concentration of the coronavirus in enclosed spaces. If you’re concerned about contaminated air indoors, that is a great first step to take. But opening your home’s windows isn’t usually a practical option for the entire summer, and exposure to extreme temperature stress carries its own health risks. So we reached out to a few HVAC experts, including members of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Epidemic Task Force, to get their perspectives on the potential risks of different types of air conditioning systems, as well as any strategies they might have for people concerned about staying both cool and healthy this summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
...After doing our own research into residential filters for central HVAC systems, we settled on a MERV-12 (PDF) level as a good medium between effective filtration and likely compatibility with your existing equipment. Owen recommended a similar level of filtration for shared building spaces, where air circulated between separate rooms or offices might be a greater concern than the air circulating within your own house: “If they’re using the MERV-13 system, for example, they should be removing at least 85 percent of [airborne particles] each time the air goes through. So you’re still taking the air from one place to another, but you’re at least mitigating it in some way.”<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Good air quality is just one factor in protecting yourself from the spread of the coronavirus, and you should make it a priority alongside following the rest of the CDC’s guidelines such as social distancing, handwashing, surface disinfection, and so on. As researchers continue to learn more about the way the virus is transmitted, we may revise our reporting. For now, however, we see no reason to sacrifice the comfort and health benefits of air conditioning, especially if you’re quarantined at home through the summer months.<br />
