Germicidal Lights: Can Help Reduce Germs and Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

July 29, 2015

Through the spring, summer, and fall, allergies are constantly an issue. No matter when seasonal allergies impact you or your family, the desire for relief is constant. Whether it is mold, pet dander, or some other bacteria that is degrading your indoor air quality, germicidal lights could help decrease the effects of allergies.

Germicidal lights may sound a bit unfamiliar because they aren’t mentioned often, but they can help tackle the impurities annoying you. Even though they’re hidden inside your system, germicidal lights will keep germs from multiplying.

Germicidal lights work by emitting UV (ultraviolet) light rays that are able to 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 around the clock, even when your system isn’t operating, meaning germs are always being demolished.

In addition to all of the indoor air quality benefits you’ll receive, germicidal lights also help your heating and cooling system run at its best. When mold, pet dander, and other microorganisms build up in your system, it could inhibit its performance, decreasing energy efficiency and could even mean greater energy bills. Getting rid of those pollutants means a healthier system and air that’s more enjoyable to breathe for everyone.

Now that you’ve heard about all of the bonuses, there’s really no reason you shouldn’t find out about germicidal lights next time you have air conditioner service done. After all, it does help better your air quality and may even help you reduce your monthly utility bills.
