Stopping Bacteria Cross Contamination in HVAC Controls

Bacteria and other micro-organisms are a fact of life. They are everywhere, all around us, all the time. However hard we try, there’s no getting away from them. Some are good for us, others are neutral, but a few are dangerous. So it makes sense to do what we can to protect against their potentially harmful and undesirable effects.
