We Floridians do alot of living in air conditioned areas most of the year. And like it or not the indoor air you breathe has a lot of stuff in it that you don’t want. Like viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, and allergens. Some are only annoying, others can make you sick.
Remember air passes repeatedly through the HVAC system (in fact many microbes like the cool dark damp interior of the air conditioning system) this is the ideal place for germs to multiply and spread throughout the house.
After doing a recent install at a medical center we found the effectiveness of UV lights in sanitizing air conditioner units, for patients proved to be very useful.
In an environment where patients are prone to diseases due to their weakened immune system, providing clean and sanitized air is of the upmost importance.
Kill Germs With Light
- For over a century scientists have known that certain frequencies of light have a devastating effect on microbial life. Exposure to ultraviolet light in the range of 254 NM (UV-C band) disrupts the DNA of micro-organisms thus preventing them from reproducing, thereby effectively killing them.
UV Light – A Well Established Disinfection Technology
- UV light disinfection is now widely used in hospitals and laboratories to sanitize instruments and work surfaces and to prevent the spread potentially lethal airborne infectious diseases. The technology is used by the food industry to sterilize food before packaging and water treatment systems large and small now incorporate UV light as a chemical-free means of purification.
A Cleaner Air Handler
- Installation of a germicidal UV light inside the air handler inhibits the growth of mold there which saves energy by allowing the system to operate more efficiently. A cleaner system also requires less maintenance.
A Whole-House UV Air Purifier – The Best Defense
- Because it works inside your central air conditioning system a whole-house UV air purifier is able to intercept airborne pathogens and destroy them as they pass by. As air cycles through the system it passes by the UV light many times exposing and re-exposing airborne microbes to it’s sterilizing effect. This has proven to be a safe, economical, chemical-free way to significantly reduce airborne contaminants indoors.
It is important to understand that this UV technology can easily be applied for a cleaner and healthier breathing environment for the whole family.
