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

July 29, 2015

Allergy symptoms can really flare up during spring, summer and fall. It seems like the quest for relief is boundless. A lot of contaminants can hurt your indoor air quality, like mold, pet dander and bacteria. You can get a break from the allergy symptoms created by these contaminants with germicidal lights.

Some people haven’t heard of germicidal lights but they’re a great way to enhance the quality of the air in your house. The lights are incorporated within your HVAC system and keep germs from multiplying by emitting ultraviolet (UV) light rays that damage the cell walls of contaminants so they can’t grow or multiply. Without even having your system running, the lights are still destroying them.

Germicidal lights can also assist in making your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, in addition to cleaning up your indoor air quality. Mold, pet dander and other microorganisms can build up 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. It doesn’t get better than that.
