July 29, 2015

Allergy symptoms can really kick into overdrive during spring, summer and fall. It seems like the search for relief is endless. A lot of contaminants can damage your indoor air quality, like mold, pet dander and bacteria. You can get a break from the allergy symptoms brought on by these contaminants with germicidal lights.

A lot of people haven’t heard of germicidal lights but they’re an awesome way to boost the quality of the air in your house. The lights are housed within your HVAC system and prevents germs from multiplying by emitting ultraviolet (UV) light rays that damage the cell walls of contaminants and keeps them from growing or multiplying. Even when your system isn’t running, the lights are still destroying them.

Germicidal lights can also have the added benefit of helping your heating and cooling system run more efficiently, in addition to improving your indoor air quality. Mold, pet dander and other microorganisms can get clogged in your system and this causes it to work harder than necessary. So, keeping your air clean keeps your family healthy, and your HVAC system healthy. What could be better?
