Most of us probably don’t think about the quality or cleanliness of the air we breathe while in our homes. We go about our day-to-day activities, such as cooking and cleaning, without a thought as to how these activities may be polluting the air in our home, and in turn, our bodies.
However, whether we’re aware of it or not, clean air is something we should prioritize, as it is directly correlated to our health. One of the most effective ways to ensure your family is inhaling clean air is through UVC light systems. These systems work with your HVAC to ensure that the air entering your home is purified and free from germs, bacteria, and viruses, including Covid-19.
Considering installing a UVC Light on your home? Here are just some of the many benefits of these systems.
- Better Indoor Air Quality
The primary benefit is creating the best possible indoor air quality by killing any contaminants from the air circulating in your home.
VOCs, bacteria, and germs are “inactivated” using UVC lights that purify the air they come under the light, preventing harmful microorganisms from entering your family’s lungs. This purification also helps keep your HVAC components cleaner, as there is less bacteria to filter out in the circulation process.
- Say Goodbye to Mold and Mildew
Dampness, leaks, and temperature variations are open invitations for mold and mildew. Quite often, HVAC units are a part of the problem if they are not kept clean and maintained properly. Microorganisms that can produce mold or mildew can easily slip by HVAC filters, and once mold has a chance to grow, it’s much more difficult to keep it away.
Mold and mildew are not only unsightly but also cause allergic rhinitis, infectious diseases, and asthma-inducing organisms.
UVC Lights kill mold and mildew in the air or on surfaces, and installing a UVC light in your home can help prevent mold or mildew from growing in the first place.
- Reduce Your Family’s Risk of Illness and Disease
Many people don’t consider the air in their home to be the cause of illness, but there are many mild to severe illnesses and diseases that may be caused by low-quality air. The following illnesses and symptoms have been linked to poor indoor air quality: chronic, respiratory health issues, fatigue/tiredness, coughing/sneezing, asthma, nausea, depression, irritability, sinus infections, allergy issues, and more.
HVAC systems circulate air throughout your home, recycling the air from room to room. As a result, if your air isn’t clean in one part of the house, the whole house (and everyone in it) is receiving the same, contaminated air.
By installing UVC Lights, the air is clean by the light as it comes through the HVAC and is pushed throughout the house. As it circulates, it’s cleaned again.
- Save Money in the Long Run
UVC light doesn’t only clean the air, it cleans surfaces, too. Clean air means a massive reduction in wear and tear to your ductwork, walls, ceilings, and carpets from a buildup of bacteria, mold, and mildew. This reduced damage saves money on the replacement and upkeep of these components.
Perhaps the most significant cost savings from UVC light is the HVAC system itself. UVC light cleans and in turn, helps maintain your HVAC system which means your HVAC performs optimally and won’t need to be repaired and serviced regularly.
