With Cold and Flu Season upon us, it’s a good time to talk
about the benefits of UV light installation for your home furnace.
Homes these days are built to be efficient, however with
tighter building for energy savings a consequence is lower air quality in the
home. As less fresh air is introduced
into the home, higher quantities of air pollutants such as viruses, bacteria,
mold, chemicals, VOC’s, fumes and odors can result.
UV light has been proven in numerous studies to kill harmful
bacteria, germs, spores, viruses and mold and effectively improve residential
indoor air quality. Depending on the UV
placement, strength and length of exposure a UV-C light installation on a
furnace can kill up to 90% of microorganisms that can build up on ducts and
coils.
Top 5 reasons to install a UV light on your furnace:
- Eliminates microscopic elements such as
bacteria, mold and viruses - UV Filters are silent – you won’t even know its
running. - No Maintenance required! Other than bulb replacements the unit is
maintenance free. - Increased airflow – especially while working in
tandem with a high quality furnace filter, a UV light helps to keep HVAC
equipment free of buildup or debris. - Improves indoor air quality
