Why Do I Need UV Lights?
Within your ductwork lies a moist, dark environment where viruses and mold spores thrive. Any contaminants present have the potential to recirculate throughout your home, negatively affecting your indoor air quality. As a result, you and your family may become more susceptible to allergy-like symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, skin irritation, and more. Those with existing respiratory issues are likely to be impacted the most.
While having your ducts professionally cleaned can clear existing mold and bacteria from your vents, it doesn’t prevent those microorganisms from re-accumulating. However, UV lights do. Installed near your evaporator, UV lights help eliminate 99 percent of these germs all year long. Other advantages include:
- Increased HVAC efficiency
- Lower energy bills
- Reduced musty smells
- Decreased microorganism exposure
- Improved overall indoor air quality
