UV Germicidal Lights Keep You Healthy This Winter

When the temperatures start dropping here in Springfield, PA, you can rest assured that colds and flu bugs won’t be far behind. We tend to button up our homes for the winter in order to keep the heat from escaping. It’s a wise policy for saving energy, but it means that the air in your house can easily stagnate, and when germs of flu bugs come in, they can easily circulate to infect every member of your household. This is of especial concern if you have a newborn in the house, or if your family includes elderly members with compromised immune systems.

The solution is a UV air purifier, installed in your heating and cooling ducts and serving as a strong defense against airborne illnesses of all variety. Here’s a quick breakdown on how UV germicidal lights keep you healthy this winter.

Ultraviolet Means Death to Germs

The UV stands for ultraviolet, a wavelength of light beyond our ability to see. It’s what causes our skin to tan in the sun, and helps rock concerts and amusement parks make our white clothes glow in the dark (the UV light interacts with chemicals from our laundry detergent). It’s harmless to humans, though it can cause sunburns if you stay out in it too long. But to single-celled organisms like germs, it means instant death.

How it Woks

A UV germicidal light is installed at the base of your ducts, sending the light in a sheet across the width of the duct. When you turn your system on, the air circulates through it, and any germs or viruses can help but be exposed. As your heater or air conditioner continues to run, it cleanses the air free of contaminants, helping your family stay healthy in the bargain.
