When ordinary filters and filtration systems aren’t enough to improve your indoor air quality, you can take things to the next level with a UV air purifier. Here are three ways in which UV light air purifiers can improve your life in Duval, FL:
Remove Viruses & Bacteria
Many virus particles and bacteria are so small that they can pass straight through the mesh of ordinary HVAC air filters. UV air purifiers go the extra mile to eliminate such threats to your health by shining ultraviolet light through their filters.
This light can chemically degrade the DNA and RNA of viruses and bacteria. As a result, these pathogens will no longer have the ability to reproduce.
Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) & Health
In addition to the IAQ-related benefit mentioned above, UV air purifiers can improve your IAQ in the same ways as standard air purifiers. They remove common pollutants like dust, pollen, and pet dander from the air.
This will help you stay more comfortable during waking hours by reducing many adverse effects of low IAQ, including coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, lightheadedness, allergies, and even respiratory diseases. It will also allow you to sleep more soundly and feel more energized during the day.
Prolong the HVAC System’s Lifespan
Your HVAC system has its own air filters that contribute to improving your IAQ. However, if you supplement these filters with a UV air purifier, you’ll decrease the stress on your system. If you also remember to change or clean your system’s filters regularly and schedule preventive maintenance at least once a year, you can maximize your HVAC system’s service life.
UV light air purifiers are valuable tools that can remove even minuscule pollutants from the air in your home in Duval, FL. If you’d like one, call Ed's Comfort Solutions to inquire about our IAQ services today.
