Allergens, pathogens, and odors, oh my! If you are worried about what is floating around in your air, Royal Heating and Air has solutions for you. It has been scientifically proven that UV light is effective in killing mold, bacteria and viruses. That is why they are commonly used in hospitals, grocery stores, and restaurants to sterilize the HVAC system and maintain excellent indoor air quality.
While testing is still being done, the CDC has said that “Vaporous hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, and moist heat are the most promising decontamination methods” for COVID-19. That has created a lot of interest in UV lights and we are happy to answer our clients questions about them because we know there are so many different benefits to utilizing this technology in your home.
UV Light for Coils.
There are 2 types of UV lights available for your HVAC
system. One focuses on the components
that are most prone to growing mold and mildew or other allergens and contaminants. The coils in your system are where water will
condense and drip into the drain pan. This
creates a humid, dark place for bad things to grow. Then when air is circulated throughout your
house through your HVACs ductwork, those germs are spread around and can reach
every part of your home. By directing UV
light on the coils at the proper intensity, those germs are killed and
prevented from multiplying or spreading.
This effectively keeps your coils cleaner and free from the
buildup that results from the contaminants collecting on them. So, in addition to benefitting from cleaner
air, your HVAC will be more effective when it comes to heat exchange and
airflow. This greater efficiency can not
only help reduce your overall energy consumption, but it can even help extend
the life of your HVAC system.
UV Light for Air Ducts.
The second type of UV light for your HVAC is designed to
focus on the air in your air ducts and to sterilize the air as it passes
through. The positioning and intensity
of the light can make a huge difference in its effectiveness. You will want to rely on a trusted HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks to evaluate your home first to see if it
is well suited for a UV light, and second to handle the installation to make
sure you get the results you are expecting.
