Protecting Your Home With a Germicidal UV Light

Are UV Lights Worth the Investment?

Your health provides the answer. If you or other members of your household do not experience issues with breathing or allergies and if you are not experiencing rates of colds and other viruses that are higher-than-normal, then you probably do not need to germicidal UV lights in to your HVAC system.

However, if those problems are a reality in your home, HVAC UV lights can be part of the solution.

How UV Lights Work

There are three main types of UV rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, making them capable of killing bacteria and viruses (also known as pathogens). UVC rays are remarkably effective at decontamination because they can destroy the molecular bonds that hold together virus and bacteria DNA, including "superbugs," which have developed a stronger resistance to antibiotics.

For years, Hospitals have utilized ultraviolet (UV) lights as a cleaning tool. Their large, industrial-grade machines are used to decontaminate rooms. Today, homeowners are able to use smaller versions of UV sanitation lights in their HVAC systems.

Due to recency of outbreaks no specific claims can be made on the effectiveness of any system on destroying or eliminating the virus commonly known as COVID-19
