Germicidal Lights: Can Help Reduce Germs and Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

July 29, 2015

Allergy symptoms can really get annoying during spring, summer and fall. It seems like the search for relief is endless. A lot of contaminants can hinder your indoor air quality, like mold, pet dander and bacteria. You can get a break from the allergy symptoms caused by these contaminants with germicidal lights.

Some people haven’t heard of germicidal lights but they’re one of the best ways to enhance the quality of the air in your house. The lights are contained within your HVAC system and prevents germs from multiplying by emitting ultraviolet (UV) light rays that destroy the cell walls of contaminants so they can’t grow or multiply. Even when your system isn’t running, the lights are still destroying them.

Germicidal lights can also help your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, in addition to cleaning up your indoor air quality. Mold, pet dander and other microorganisms can get clogged in your system and in turn it has to work harder than necessary. Clean air within your home keeps your family healthy, and your HVAC system healthy. What could be better?

Now that you’re aware of the indoor air quality benefits of having germicidal lights, ask your HVAC professional about them at your next air conditioner service appointment.
