How Do UV Lights Work?

You may not see them, but it’s common for harmful microorganisms like bacteria, mold, and even certain viruses to live inside your HVAC systems. They thrive in those dark, most environments. However, they are highly susceptible to ultraviolet light. So when you install those lights within your ductwork or near those coils, the UV light bulb will zap those pollutants away and sterilize the area with an ionizing charge.

Take Advantage of These UV Light Benefits

Improved Airflow

If left unchecked, those mold and mildew pollutants can build up in your air ducts and block airflow. In turn, that puts more pressure on your heating and cooling systems to push air past them. That unnecessary stress can lead to system problems and even breakdowns. UV lights may seem like a small fix, but they have the ability to help keep everything running the way it should.

Reduced Chance of Illnesses

Those mold and bacteria spores are notorious for causing nasty illnesses. UV lights eliminate those organisms before they can circulate through your home and make you sick.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Without any organisms or pollutants blocking airflow, all parts of your home comfort setup can operate smoothly. Those systems will use less energy—helping you save on your monthly bills.
