Purify Your Air with UV Light

How Do UV Air Purifiers Work?
UV-C (ultraviolet-C) light is a cell-damaging kind of light that is naturally produced by the sun but is filtered by our atmosphere. We are able to recreate and harness this type of light in select circumstances for safe use in destroying harmful microorganisms like mold, viruses, and bacteria.
This type of light is installed in your HVAC system away from any direct interaction with humans. As air passes by the UV-C light, any pathogens are destroyed at the DNA level so they are no longer able to spread harmful disease in your household.
What About Air Filters?
In an ideal situation, UV air sanitizers are used in conjunction with air filters. Air filters work by trapping particulates so they exit your air supply. UV air purifiers work by completely getting rid of the pathogens, altogether.
There are also different types of air filters. A standard air filter will only filter large pollutants like dust and pollen. If you get a MERV-rated filter, however, that will also trap 99% of bacteria and viruses. Between trapping the microbes and killing the rest of them with a UV air purifier, you’ll have eradicated harmful illness-inducing pathogens from your home.
Reasons To Install UV Air Sanitizers
If you already have high quality air filters installed in your HVAC system, you may question whether you really need a UV air purifier. We’d recommend it if at all possible for the following reasons.
Stay Healthier
Since UV air purifiers dismantle the very core of viruses and bacteria, you have a much better chance of avoiding sickness spreading throughout your household from one person to another through your HVAC system’s air supply.
Better IAQ
Your indoor air quality will be even cleaner as a result of sanitizing your air with UV-C light. Even if you have a filtration system, a purification system on top of it will make sure you’re only breathing the cleanest air.
Fewer Odors
UV-C light also destroys mold and mildew. Without those pesky nuisances being able to grow within your HVAC system, you’ll notice that your air smells fresher, as well.
