Though the air is filtered, small particles make it past the filter and end up on the wet surfaces in the air handler. The conditions are perfect for the growth of algae, bacteria and mold. A UV light can control the growth of these unwanted agents. UV light penetrates the agents and exposes them to extreme oxidation. In short, they cannot survive expose to UV light. If you are interested in having a UV light installed in your system, call our office today to schedule a technician to come to your house for a free estimate.
UV germicidal lights are a special kind of light that emit ultraviolet radiation. While safe to be around indirectly, the radiation is deadly to microscopic organisms when they are directly exposed to it. Using this technology, we now have a way to harness the power of UV radiation to clean up the air in your home. UV germicidal lights are installed inline within your existing ventilation system, often after the air cleaner. Once the air cleaner filters out the particulate matter, the air passes by the UV germicidal lights, which irradiate and kill the remaining biological contaminants. |
