UV Germicidal Lights in Surf City, NC

Stop Airborne Germs With UV Light Disinfection

Ultraviolet light has a special property that has made it an essential tool in the medical field: it disrupts cellular functions. You see this happen whenever you get a sunburn, which is the UV light from the sun harming your skin. But when UV radiation is used in precision applications, such as in a UV air purifier, it’s harmless to people but lethal to microbes, bacteria, germs, viruses, and mold spores. The ultraviolet rays will either kill these organic pollutants outright or render them inert and therefore harmless.

When we install a UV germicidal light in a home, we place it into the HVAC system. The UV light shines onto the area of the evaporator coil of the air conditioner, where all air moving through the HVAC system must pass. The light kills the unwanted organic particles and helps to prevent mold from growing on the air conditioner. This eliminates numerous harmful contaminants from the air as well as odor-causing mold and bacteria and helps the AC last for longer.

UV Germicidal Lights & Air Filters: Double Down on Protection

You don’t have to worry about choosing between air filters and UV germicidal lights. They work together. In fact, they should work together. A UV germicidal light won’t remove dust, pollen, dander, or lint from the air, and most air filters in residential homes aren’t powerful enough to stop microbes, mold spores, or bacteria. But when you pair them together, you have an excellent defense against a wide range of contaminants that can make you sick, add bad odors to your house, trigger asthma symptoms, or make the air you and your family breathe generally unpleasant.
