Air Purification
WHAT IS ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT PURIFICATION?
Ultraviolet lights installed inside of your furnace, air conditioner, heat pumps, or ductwork kill bacteria, mold, mildew, allergens, and other germs—before they enter your home (and lungs).
Eliminating these compounds from your home’s systems also keeps them running more efficiently. Without the buildup of microorganisms such as mold and even algae, air moves more freely and keeps your home heated or cooled to the temperature you desire.
If you or your family have pets, struggle with allergies or just want to protect your home from bacteria and mold, you might want to consider installing a UV light in your HVAC system.
Here are some ways you can benefit:
Protect against sickness
Hospitals, healthcare facilities and even office buildings have adopted UV light for HVAC. Studies have proven that UV light systems are highly effective in reducing microorganisms as they pass through Ultra Violet light rays. Reduced microorganisms mean less transferred illness. Along with keeping sickness from spreading, UV light may be a last defense against bacteria and viruses that have become drug resistant. Killing harmful microorganisms at their source will promote wellness and overall health. UV light for furnaces and UV light for air conditioners will maintain the cleanliness of the coils and significantly reduce the airborne pathogens that cause illness.
While an in-duct UV air purifier can’t guarantee complete removal of germs and bacteria, the UV-C light emitted from a UV light purifier bulb is proven to kill as much as 99% of microorganisms living in your HVAC system. The level of intensity, length of exposure, lamp placement inside your unit, and amount of regular maintenance all determine the effectiveness of your HVAC UV light system.
Reduces Allergies and Asthma
UV light systems eliminate allergens from your HVAC unit in the same way that they kill germs.
Dust, dust mites, mold and mildew can all be controlled through proper placement of a UV light system, thus reducing sneezing, wheezing and other allergy related symptoms.
Eliminates harmful Odors
Some airborne contaminates merely make us pinch our nose; however, some are extremely hazardous. Recent studies show that our indoor air harbors invisible odor contaminates that are two to five times higher than the air outdoors.
Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs for short, are a source of odor causing chemicals that infiltrate our air. According to the EPA, VOCs can be attributed to a long list of health problems such as eye, nose and throat irritation along with nausea and headaches.
We often bring VOCs into our immediate area without even knowing it. Tobacco products, cleaning agents, paints, craft supplies and even personal products such as hair spray and perfumes can be dangerous.
A major benefit of using UV light for furnaces and UV light for air conditioners is the elimination of VOCs from your ventilation system and thus removing them from your breathing space.
Improves Airflow and Efficiency
Overtime the parts inside your HVAC system can become coated with dirt, germs and pollutants that will diminish efficient output. Heating and cooling systems that have compromised functioning will work harder to achieve a desired output. Increased energy consumption will drive up monthly energy bills and cause unwanted wear and tear on your unit.
Choosing the best UV light for HVAC units will organically clean coils and restore system capacity by 10-35%. Smoother airflow will reduce maintenance expenses and provide cleaner air.
PROMOTE CLEAN AIR
In conclusion, Ultraviolet light kills germs and bacteria throughout the house as well as eliminating unpleasant odors. UV light technology has proven successful in reducing energy costs associated with your heating and cooling system and minimizing maintenance due to burdened coils and sluggish performance. HVAC ultraviolet light freshens the air in your house, enhances the comfort of your home, and kills harmful germs and bacteria.
