Through the spring, summer, and fall, allergies are running rampant. No matter when seasonal allergies affect you or your family, the desire for relief is never-ending. Whether it is mold, pet dander, or some other bacteria that is hurting your indoor air quality, germicidal lights could help ease the effects of allergies.
Germicidal lights may sound a bit unfamiliar because they aren’t mentioned often, but they can help tackle the pollutants affecting you. Even though they’re hidden inside your system, germicidal lights can keep germs from multiplying.
Germicidal lights work by producing UV (ultraviolet) light rays that can penetrate the cell walls of the pollutants in your air, causing enough damage to halt their growth and their capability to multiply. The lights are also working all the time, even when your system isn’t running, meaning germs are always being destroyed.
In addition to all of the indoor air quality benefits you’ll get, germicidal lights also help your heating and cooling system run at its best. When mold, pet dander, and other microorganisms pile up in your system, it can inhibit its performance, decreasing energy efficiency and could even mean greater utility costs. Getting rid of those pollutants means a healthier system and air that’s more enjoyable to breathe for everyone.
Now that you’ve read about all of the perks, there’s no reason you shouldn’t ask about germicidal lights next time you have air conditioner service done. After all, it does help improve your air quality and may even help you reduce your monthly energy costs.
