What Are UV Lights?

When you think of ultraviolet light, you may picture getting sunburned after a day at the beach. However, UV light is also a tool for improving indoor air quality. Sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays, but UVC light is the wavelength used for air purification.

UVC light is considered germicidal because these powerful rays can penetrate the cell walls of mold, bacteria, and viruses. As a result, the physiological structure of these microorganisms is destroyed, so they can no longer divide and replicate.

UV germicidal lights are used in numerous applications, including residential HVAC systems, healthcare settings, kitchen exhaust vents, and water treatment devices. In the context of residential HVAC, UV lights have two uses:

• Treating the evaporator coil and drain pan: These components are prone to organic growth that can cause unpleasant odors and lower operating efficiency. UV lights aim to reduce the need for evaporator coil and drain pan cleanings while promoting smooth HVAC operation.
• Treating the indoor air: As air flows through the ductwork, in-duct UV lights neutralize harmful airborne microorganisms, leaving clean air to circulate your home for your family to breathe.

Benefits of UV Lights

If you’re unsure whether UV germicidal lights are right for your Jacksonville home, consider the many benefits they provide:

• Removing airborne germs: It’s one thing to trap contaminants, but UV lights take this one step further by stopping the growth and spread of microscopic life. This feature is particularly beneficial for people with allergies or asthma.
• Reducing the spread of illness: Germs can spread through the HVAC system if someone in your home becomes sick with an airborne bacterial or viral infection. Decrease the risk of anyone else falling ill by installing in-duct UV lights.
• Cleaning the air without chemicals: UV air purification kills germs with light, not harsh chemicals, helping to keep your home safe and clean.
• Preventing mold growth on the HVAC system: Over time, mold and other microorganisms can grow on the evaporator coil, drain pan, and other components. UV lights keep the ductwork and HVAC equipment cleaner, helping the system operate more reliably and efficiently.
