Why Should You Consider Getting UV Lights?
Maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for the health and well-being of everyone who spends time in a building. Unfortunately, today’s buildings often have worse air quality than what you’ll find outside. It’s important to address the potentially hazardous bacteria and allergens in the air, and UV lights are one way you can do so.
Ultraviolet Light is a Versatile Choice
Ultraviolet (UV) light has been proven effective against a variety of contaminants in the air, including:
- Mold
- Mildew
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Fungi
- Spores
Airborne germs and allergy triggers can persist in even the best sealed environment. Since adequate ventilation is necessary to keep air circulating and continually fresh, it’s important to have a system in place to filter out unwanted microbes when they inevitably enter the home. An option like UV light is versatile enough to manage all the worst threats.
Installation is Easy
UV lights are easily installed in your ductwork, offering a convenient and well-placed solution for cleaner air. You won’t see or hear the UV filtration so you’ll enjoy cleaner air with no disturbances in the building’s appearance or ambiance.
It Mimics the Natural Impact of the Sun
The ultraviolet component of sunlight is what makes it so effective at killing microbes. This is why microbes that would die in outside air can often thrive in the seclusion of your home. With a UV light you can mimic that same effect, killing off bacteria and viruses without using chemicals.
