Ultraviolet light air purifiers are a new form of technology used to improve household air quality. It helps fight airborne viruses, such as the flu, which can be transmitted when someone coughs or sneezes. UV light technology, while it doesn’t kill every harmful particle in the air, will eliminate many of the harmful micro-organisms that can make your family sick.

A Guide to UV Light Air Purifiers

How Does It Benefit Me?

This relatively new technology cuts down on allergens in your home, such as those that cause hay fever or asthma. It can kill mold spores that thrive in damp bathrooms and eliminate dust mites that cause skin allergies.

Homeowners who have had UV light air purifiers installed find their home smells cleaner, as these filters oxidize gases and remove lingering cooking odors that affect air quality. They also neutralize pet smells that come from skin dander or urine stains. Even better, the UV rays eliminate dangerous elements that remain in the air from cigarette smoke.

How Does It Work?

UV light air purifiers kill dangerous elements or organisms in the air by incinerating them when these particles pass through the ultraviolet light rays. This air filter is typically more energy efficient than a traditional system, which requires air to be constantly flowing for it to be filtered.

Ultraviolet air purifiers do not have a replaceable filter like traditional systems do. Therefore, there is no need to worry about regularly changing a filter or re-contaminating the air with dirty particles that have accumulated on the old one.
