We all want to breathe easy, both figuratively and literally! You may not know that your HVAC system can become a breeding ground for pollutants, bacteria, and mold. This not only affects the ability of your system to run efficiently but can also spread allergens and bacteria through your air. Enter the UV-C light! These little lights can be installed on most existing forced-air systems and can zap potentially harmful particles.

Here are the top 3 benefits of the UV-C light:

Increased Efficiency

Over time, it is common for the inside of your HVAC system to become clogged with dirt and other debris that can reduce your system’s efficiency. By installing a UV-C light in your HVAC unit, you can help clean your system and remove that buildup. A clean system will have improved airflow, which can increase system capacity. That increased capacity can also lead to reduced energy costs and potentially lower maintenance costs over time.

Eliminate Odors

Since we have all been at home more lately, have you noticed that Fido is perhaps a little smellier than you had thought? Is that at-home Friday fish fry sticking around a little too long after cleanup? Your HVAC system can transport odors throughout your home, leaving smells lingering longer than you would like. A UV-C light can help eliminate volatile organic compounds that cause odors and have you breathing easier.

Additional Benefits

Another benefit of a UV-C light could be a reduction in allergens and illnesses. Since the coil becomes moist over time, dust, dirt, and pet hair can build up on it. The UV-C light shines directly onto the coil to prevent the buildup of these particles and keeps your air from becoming infested with pollutants and allergens.

More recently, UV lights have been shown to be effective against virus types such as rhinoviruses (common cold) and influenza viruses. The UV-C light obliterates microorganisms’ nucleic acids, damaging their DNA and either killing them or leaving them incapable of reproduction.

According to the FDA, UVC radiation may also be effective in inactivating the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, there is still some debate about the wavelength, dose, and duration of UVC radiation required to inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
