Sterilize Microorganisms with a Germicidal UV Lamp

While indoor air quality equipment like air filtration systems are well suited for inorganic particles like dust and soot, they will often have a harder time with microorganisms like viruses and bacteria. They’re often small enough to slip through high-efficiency filters before reaching the rest of your HVAC equipment. When catching contaminants isn’t as effective, different strategies should be considered to ensure a complete indoor air quality plan.

You may be happy to find out that ultraviolet light has sanitation properties. If in contact with UV light, microbes are sterilized, becoming inactive or incapable of reproducing. In effect, this lowers the likelihood they’ll negatively impact your HVAC system or health. Considering you deserve clean and healthy indoor air, Taylor Heating Inc. sells and services germicidal UV lights in Rochester. We’ll complete the installation process, making sure you have access to the full benefits of a UV germicidal lamp.

How Will a UV Germicidal Light Sterilize Microbes?

Ultraviolet light is why you get sunburnt after spending too much time outside. The shorter wavelength that keeps UV light hidden to our eyes also affects its energy. This energy can disrupt the molecular bonds of genetic material, including that of microorganisms including mildew and bacteria. The sudden change could outright destroy microbes or simply stop them from reproducing, but the results are largely similar.

It’s best to install UV lights straight into your HVAC system. When air flows through during a heating or cooling cycle, airborne microbes are exposed to the UV light while they move past. You can preserve balanced temperatures while also increasing air quality. And because the germicidal lamp is confined to the air ducts, you never need to worry about being affected by the UV rays.

A UV light installed in the ductwork is referred to as an air sanitizing light, and is most effective for microbes already airborne. An air sanitizing light can be integrated with the HVAC system’s blower motor, where the UV lamp only lights up during an active heating or cooling cycle.

There are also lights designed for specific HVAC hardware like an air conditioner’s condenser coils. These coil sanitizing lights can keep mold and mildew from benefiting from the coils’ condensation.

Benefits of Germicidal UV Light Installation in Rochester

UV Lights can be an excellent investment for improving indoor air quality, offering benefits like: 

1

Prevent unpleasant odors

Installing UV lamps into your HVAC system can lessen the presence of strong odors from mold, mildew, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms flourishing in the air ducts. Utilizing germicidal ultraviolet light renders them harmless, but you will sometimes need duct cleaning if there is existent growth.

2

Lower danger of getting sick

Ultraviolet lights decrease the distribution of airborne illnesses by killing off virus and bacteria particles before they can reach you. These microorganisms are routinely too minuscule for conventional air filters to capture, but products like humidifiers can discourage the warm, humid conditions suitable for microbes.

3

Avoid aggravating respiratory conditions

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are one of the most common sources of allergy and asthma symptoms. Thankfully, UV lamps fitted into your HVAC system can decrease organic pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia before they pass through the ductwork.

4

Stimulate greater energy efficiency

Fewer microbes in your air can also enhance energy efficiency, as they aren’t clogging up the air filter or crucial components.
