“Do UV lights have a beneficial impact on the air quality inside your house?” The answer is, “Definitely!” The process by which UV lights function is quite simple and rather fascinating. If you’ve been looking for a solution to improve the air quality in your home, there’s a good chance that utilizing UV lights will be the solution for you! However, it would be wise to have a basic understanding of how things work and what to expect when using UV lights. But don’t worry! Lebanon Heating & Cooling has got you covered. We have pieced together the information below so you can make the best decision for you, your home, and your family as to whether or not UV lights are a good fit for your house as you start on your adventure to improve the IAQ (indoor air quality) of your home.
Why Should You Use UV Lights To Improve Indoor Air Quality?
According to studies, the air inside a home may be up to five times more polluted than the surrounding natural environment outdoors. Fresh air and sunshine are two important elements behind how clean the air is outside. This makes sense because UV lights are the most efficient technique for removing airborne particles and pollutants from your home. So, how well do they work? UV lights are extremely efficient when it comes to removing bacteria from the air. Because of their high efficiency, they can effectively eliminate most new pollutants. When it comes to eliminating pollutants, UV lights have a good track record to cut down on the following irritants in your home:
- Pet odors
- Allergy triggers
- Mold & mildew
- Chemicals
- Viruses
- Bacteria
- Unpleasant or musty odors
What Is the Installation Procedure For HVAC UV Lights?
Next, let’s talk about installation. Because UV lights operate with your HVAC system, they are generally positioned inside of your ductwork. Furthermore, maintenance is simple! What can be more tempting than a great solution that requires little to no maintenance? Our NATE-certified technicians at Lebanon Heating & Cooling can simply inspect and replace them if needed during your scheduled maintenance checks. How perfect does that sound? Aside from calling to schedule your yearly appointments, you won’t have to do much else. In our opinion, this sounds like a no-brainer!
Why Are UV Lights Such an Effective Way To Boost IAQ?
The UV light is astonishingly proficient in its usage due to its success rate of 99.9% You may be thinking, “How is it so successful? How does it all work?” Well, since the UV bulbs are installed inside of the ductwork, any airborne pollutants flow along with the circulated air from your HVAC system through your ductwork. During this air distribution process, the pollutants are then channeled to pass by the UV bulbs, which is where the magic truly happens. It is at this moment when the said infiltrator is placed in the line of the UV rays that it gets zapped by the beams which directly attack the pollutant’s core attacking it within its very DNA. This strategy of neutralizing the DNA removes the pollutant’s ability to restore itself. Ultimately, the threat is neutralized and stopped in its tracks.
It’s important to maintain your long-term health! Poor indoor air quality can have both immediate and long-term consequences.
