Did you know that you can improve the indoor air quality of your home just by adding a UV light filter to your HVAC system? UV (ultraviolet) lights add additional protection to your home by killing unwanted bacteria, mold, mildew and viruses lurking in your home’s air. Eliminating these contaminants from your home can have a large impact on the health of the individuals living in your home.
UV lights are ideal for homes with the following problems:
If you have any of the above problems in your home, then a UV light purification system can help cut back on the unhealthy symptoms that you see in your home. The system works by shining a UV light onto the particles in your air as they pass through your duct system. The light breaks down the cells, killing the organisms and preventing them from reproducing. The particles then get stuck into your air filter for easy disposal. Many hospitals and other medical centers use UV lights to prevent the spread of nosocomial infections. UV light systems are not difficult to install, and can provide a large increase in the indoor air quality inside your home.
