Berkeys Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical Keeping Up With DFW's Rising Demand for Safer Air/Water During Covid-19 Crisis

The air you breathe. The water you drink. The health and safety of your family.

Never have these basic human needs been more important than during the current COVID-19 outbreak. In an unprecedented crippling of America – and Dallas-Fort Worth – schools are closed, restaurants are limited, sports are canceled, and we’ve been grudgingly introduced to a new lifestyle mandate: Social Distancing.

As the coronavirus infection rate rises and the death toll commences in DFW, families are taking appropriate, immediate action in the form of self-isolation, vigilant hand washing, and home-schooling. But the pandemic scare is also forcing Metroplex residents to ponder a bigger picture and ask themselves: “What else can we do?”

Right in your own home.

A sliver of sunshine permeating our otherwise darkening skies, there is good news. Simple steps can help protect your family. In the form of cleaner air. And purer water.

“We must be prepared for anything and everything, not just with this virus but moving forward,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of America’s leading medical voices during the COVID-19 outbreak, said during an NPR radio interview on March 12. “It would be prudent for families to invest in some type of air and water purification system. In the future – in an ideal world – we’d hope these systems become standard.”

To mitigate the contagious COVID-19 virus, DFW homeowners are turning to a trusted source of clean air and pure water.

When installed and maintained by the licensed HVAC professionals at Berkeys Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, next-gen products and equipment can dramatically increase a home’s air quality and reduce water contaminates. During the spread of the coronavirus throughout DFW, Berkeys is meeting the rising demands with industry-leading products such as the RO PurePro, WaterTech Infinity Protector, and Captura HEPA.

“We’re certainly seeing a rise in the demand for increased safety measures in DFW homes,” says Berkeys president Jamie Wooldridge. “Our commitment is to meet those needs, while keeping both our customers and employees safe during this trying time.”

Though equipment testing has not yet specifically been performed against COVID-19, the Captura PureFlo Whole House HEPA Air Cleaner & Polarized Media Filtration system is proven to trap viruses, germs, bacteria, and allergens, with 99.7% efficiency.

Though testing suggests the coronavirus is not transmitted through water, the RO PurePro Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water system features four stages of filtration, while Water Tech’s carbon filter effectively removes lead, PFAS (forever chemicals) and chlorine/chloramine. 

“The RO PurePro is designed to remove everything out of water except the H2O molecule,” says WaterTech president, Bryce Linton. “So, in the short-term, it will remove bacteria and viruses.”

In addition to improved taste, reduced risk, and healthier skin, true, ionized soft water can extend the life of expensive appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, faucets, and fixtures.

“Poor water quality can wreak havoc on not only our plumbing systems but also our bodies,” says Berkeys Water Treatment Operations Manager, Will Fredette. “Our filtration systems provide the best defense against toxic water in your home.”

The air you breathe. The water you drink. The health and safety of your family. With a couple of simple steps, DFW homeowners can transform panic into peace of mind.
