An HVAC contractor can install a UV light in your air conditioning and heating system. UV lights have many benefits for you and the people who live in your home. Here are some reasons you might want to consider installing HVAC UV lights.

Why You Should Have HVAC UV Lights Installed

1. Kills Bacteria and Viruses

The main benefit of UV lights for your HVAC system is that it can kill bacteria, viruses, and germs. This is especially useful during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The UV system targets the coils in your air conditioner to make sure these contaminants don’t grow or build up by heating the surfaces of the coils and making them inhabitable for diseases. Hiring an HVAC contractor to install one of these lights could help prevent your family from getting sick.

2. Reduces Allergy Symptoms

If someone in your house has allergies or asthma, a UV light in the HVAC system could really help them. The light helps prevent dust mites, mold, mildew, fungus, and other allergens from growing in your air conditioner, which could be spreading them around your home without proper treatment. UV lights damage the genetic material of the organism, so it’s unable to reproduce, which ends the cycle of contaminants in your home. You might notice a dip in seasonal, dust, or pet allergies when an HVAC contractor installs a UV light in your system.

3. Makes Your HVAC More Efficient

Without a UV light in your heating and cooling system, substances like pollutants and dust particles can clog your system, especially if you don’t empty the air filter regularly. Since UV lights keep dust, debris, and pollutants from reproducing, it puts less stress on the filter. They also prevent your system’s filter from circulating air pollutants that can spread illnesses.

A clogged system makes it harder for air to move to the rooms in your house and can cause your unit to work harder than necessary, driving up your heating and cooling bills. Your air conditioner might also need less maintenance in the future because it’s under less stress.

4. Eliminates Strong Odors

If you have strong smells in your home, a traditional HVAC system can circulate them around your home. These could include pet smells, rot, or mold. UV lights keep live contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and mold from reproducing by providing a warm and well-lit environment inside your system, which prevents odors caused by them from moving around.
