- 🌡️ Upgrade to MERV-13 media filter — Captures 90%+ of allergens, dust, mould spores. Most impactful single upgrade.
- 💧 Install whole-home humidifier — Target 35–50% humidity. Reduces virus survival, dry skin, static.
- 🌬️ HRV installation — Continuously exchanges stale winter air with fresh outdoor air without losing heat.
