How HVAC UV Lights Work to Clean Your Indoor Air

While it may seem like your home air is clean, it could be hosting a variety of harmful airborne contaminants like dust, dirt, and even certain viruses and bacteria. One of your best defenses against these pollutants? Installing HVAC UV lights. Placed within your HVAC systems, these little lights effectively eliminate germs on contact. Below, the Carrier® experts here at RJ Heating and Air Conditioning provide an inside look into how they work and how they can improve both your health and indoor air quality.

How HVAC UV Lights Work

UV lights are a small but mighty solution to poor air quality. It starts with their installation in the corners of your home comfort systems, where contaminants tend to hide out and thrive. As air passes through your unit, virtually all bacteria within are sterilized. This prevents them from reproducing and being recirculated throughout the rooms of your home and results in major comfort and health benefits for you and your family.

How These Lights Benefit You

Here are some of the main reasons why you should consider installing HVAC UV lights in your home:

Cleaner Home and Surfaces

When dust, mold, and other contaminants are killed upon contact, they can’t settle or build up anywhere. Your home will be cleaner—and you’ll have less work to worry about around the house.

Reduced Spread of Bacteria

If someone in your home is sick, those germs will usually spread fast. Not with UV lights, though. Those UV rays will eliminate that bacteria as they pass by.

Better Air Quality and Flow

UV lights can prevent contaminant buildup on the coils in your unit, helping your system run more smoothly and efficiently. You’ll see fresh and more free-flowing air than before—as well as an increase in comfort and health for everyone in your family.

Fresher Smelling Air

HVAC UV lights kill the mold and mildew that can eventually result in an unpleasant, musty scent in your air.

Who Should Have HVAC UV Lights Installed?

Anyone who lives in your home will benefit from clean, purified air. But HVAC UV lights may be even more important if you have family members with asthma or allergies. They’re also perfect for families with pets, as your furry friends increase the amount of dust and dander in the air.

Cleaner, Healthier Air for Your Family

UV lights are an effective way to increase the performance of your heating and cooling systems and create a cleaner and healthier home for your family. Get started on the installation process today by calling RJ Heating at 414-463-1140 or contacting us online.
