Are UV lights Worth the Investment?
Your health provides the answer. If you and household members do not have breathing
issues or allergies and if you’re not experiencing higher-than-normal rates of colds and
other viruses, then you probably don’t need germicidal UV lights in your HVAC system.
However, some might be reading this post because those problems are a reality in your
home. For you, HVAC UV lights can be part of the solution
How Do UV Lights Work?
The three main types of UV rays are UVA, UVB, and UVC. Because UVC rays have the
shortest wavelength, and therefore highest energy, they are capable of killing bacteria and
viruses, also called pathogens. UVC is highly effective at decontamination because it
destroys the molecular bonds that hold together the DNA of viruses and bacteria, including
"superbugs," which have developed a stronger resistance to antibiotics.
Hospitals have embraced ultraviolet (UV) lights as a cleaning tool for years, using large,
industrial-grade machines to decontaminate rooms. Now, smaller versions of UV sanitation
lights are available to consumers for use 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
Healthy Climate UV Germicidal Lights
