Fight Allergies in Windsor with a UV Germicidal Light

Ultraviolet light was first used to cure tuberculosis. Today, it’s used to sanitize hospitals, some foods during processing, water and air. Germicidal lamps can also make your Windsor home’s environment purer.

A UV lamp can disinfect HVAC systems and boost the air quality in your Windsor home. It can eliminate mold, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms within 10 seconds of contact.

This can lead to relief for asthma and allergy sufferers, especially in hot, humid areas where mold and bacteria prosper. These lights may even help your HVAC equipment work longer, since they keep pieces clean.

Our Experts can recommend the equipment that will work best for your home and your family’s needs. And all work by Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.^*

How Does Germicidal UV Light Work?

Ultraviolet lamps are installed inside your ductwork, near your HVAC system, and work all the time. These lamps use ultraviolet radiation and special lightbulbs to destroy the DNA of bacteria or a virus.

In as quickly as 10 seconds, this powerful light halts contaminants from growing throughout your HVAC system and home.

Two studies have shown how practical UV light is in battling germs and mold.

In 2012, researchers at Duke University Medical Center used it to wipe out 97 percent of drug-resistant bacteria in 50 hospital rooms.

In 2001, researchers found UV light “significantly lowered” mold levels in a commercial office building’s HVAC equipment.

A germicidal system can also wipe out scents and airborne bioaerosols like pollen or pet dander. It’s not useful against dust, which is best managed by an air filtration system.

Is UV Germicidal Light Safe?

Using UV light in your home is safe as long as you follow a couple of safety measures.

The sun radiates ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength than light you can detect. It’s behind leading to painful sunburns. Prolonged overexposure can cause wrinkles, skin cancer and eye problems.

The type of light used in a germicidal system is more powerful, so it’s important to let Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts take care of installation and maintenance. You should never look directly at the light or permit bare skin be exposed to it.
