The Advantages of HVAC UV Light Installation
Some of the main advantages of HVAC UV Light installation include:
They Eliminate Airborne Pollutants
UV lights destroy pathogens and microorganisms and keep them from circulating into the air. These systems also break down artificial and natural volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With these contaminants eliminated from the air, you and your family face less risk of allergic reactions and episodes of respiratory problems.
They Prevent Property Damage
Mold and mildew can cause significant damage to your home. These organisms can destroy parts of your home containing organic material, such as natural wood furniture or flooring. They won’t spare your books and clothes either.
When these microbes accumulate in parts of your HVAC system like the indoor coil, they can cause system breakdown. The combination of mold remediation and HVAC repairs can cost quite a bit. Installing a germicidal UV light in your home can save you from these significant expenses.
They Are Affordable
UV lights are not costly. The exact cost for your unit will come down to factors such as:
- The size of your home
- The size of your HVAC system
- Your home’s temperature levels
- Number of bulbs you need for your home
- Peculiarities surrounding the lamp placement
Improved Air Flow
The filters in your air handler have an easier time if you install ultraviolet light. Since the light destroys pollutants, you won’t experience build-up in your coils, ducts, and filters that forces them to work harder. The reduced resistance makes it easier for your system to be more effective.
Lower Energy Bills
When your HVAC system doesn’t have to work too hard due to build-up in vital components, it will consume less energy while in operation. So, you will notice a drop in your energy bills.
