Did you know that indoor air quality is considerably more polluted than outdoor air pollution? Since your house is shut and sealed on all sides to avoid drafts, it makes sense. Because airborne particles and other pollutants are unable to depart from your home, they linger in the air, accumulate, and cause stuffiness. On occasion, you may even have felt the urge to open some windows, to counteract this. So, what can you do to cleanse the air inside your home? The answer lies within UV lights! Join Grove City Heating & Air as we dig a little deeper into the subject of UV lights to improve indoor air quality.
What Are the Benefits Of Using UV Lights With Your HVAC System?
So, why should you consider utilizing UV lights to better your home’s indoor air quality? UV lights are used in many places due to their high success rate. Hospitals throughout the world, as well as food production facilities and water treatment plants, have all utilized UV lights. However, keep in mind that UV lights aren’t only for business or commercial purposes. You can absolutely take advantage of the benefits of UV lights for your own use with your residential HVAC system.
Benefits Include:
- Prevention of disease and airborne germs.
- Reduced risks of mildew and mold growth.
- Alleviated triggers or symptoms for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.
- Elimination of musty odors and foul smells.
What Is the Installation Process For HVAC UV Lights?
When thinking about adding UV bulbs to your HVAC system, you should hire a qualified HVAC contractor. There are several variables to consider before beginning installation, which need experience and knowledge. The size of your home and where the lights should be placed are among the important elements to consider. During installation, UV lights are generally positioned inside air ducts. Installation takes only a couple of hours, but as the old adage goes “You get what you pay for.” It’s safe to assume, as a homeowner, that you certainly want the task done correctly.

What Is the Reason UV Lights Are So Successful?
The most important benefit of UV lights is that they have a 99.9 percent success rate, which has made them increasingly popular among homeowners. When pollutants or airborne particles are carried via the air ducts, they pass by the strategically positioned UV light bulbs and come into contact with the UV ray. This process stops the bacteria almost immediately in its tracks by zapping the pollutant and attacking it at its core. With its DNA ultimately destroyed, the pollutant stands no chance and cannot restore or rejuvenate itself thus eradicating the threat altogether.
Are you still unconvinced? For the most part, UV light bulbs do not require a lot of upkeep. They typically need to be replaced every two to three years. But these can be checked and changed if needed at your regular seasonal maintenance checks. So don’t put it off any longer; your health and well-being are more important than ever!
