Blocking the Spread of Contaminants with UV Lights
Germicidal UV lights are familiar, providing a bluish glow in areas where contamination control is essential, such as food service and medical environments. Similar protection using high-energy UV light can be installed on your furnace, unseen but working hard. Pathogens and other biological contaminants that pass through your HVAC system are unable to multiply and grow on surfaces in your home, including your ductwork. The reduced volume of organic contaminants has an additional benefit, as they don’t clog your filters and grow in place there. Clogged filters are a primary source of reduced HVAC system performance, which is why frequent air filter replacement is so helpful. You get the most from your energy expenditure by allowing your HVAC air to stay fast-flowing. UV lamps are also used to keep your evaporator coils and unit clean, reducing algae growth on the moist surfaces there when AC is operating. We clean those during maintenance visits to reduce blockages and odors, and with UV lamps, you can provide continual cleaning!
