UV air disinfection is an effective technology that eliminates contaminants like viruses, bacteria, and invisible mold by destroying their DNA, rendering them sterile.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is an electromagnetic energy that emits bactericidal radiation in the surrounding air. This purification system sterilizes the air, slowing the spread and growth of viruses, mold, pet dander, bacteria, and allergens harmful to health by preventing them from circulating through your heating and cooling system and entering your home.
In other words, a good UV system can reduce the possibility of contaminant spread through the HVAC system, but it doesn’t eliminate the need for essential practices such as air duct cleaning and regular filter changes.
It’s a combination of precautions that ensures the optimal quality of your system!
Filters installed in your unit (ranging from MERV-6 to 16) allow viruses to pass through. With a size of 0.113 microns, they are too small to be intercepted by the filter media.
UV lights have been used for nearly 50 years in various buildings in the region, such as hospitals and laboratories.
UV light significantly increases the lifespan of your HVAC equipment by drastically reducing the buildup of bio-contaminants. A cleaner coil improves energy efficiency.
The more air exchanges per hour in a building, the more the air will be purified of microorganisms.
The more tubes there are in the air exchange system, the more effective it will be.
