Benefits of installing UV light in the HVAC system
Dirt, debris, allergens, germs, and strange odors can impact the efficiency of an HVAC system and prove detrimental to the health of the occupants. 24SevenHVAC, an HVAC company in Syracuse, NY, shares how residents can benefit by installing an HVAC with UV Sanitize.
The history of Ultraviolet light
After ultraviolet light was discovered in 1800, scientists also found that UV-C air purifiers can significantly reduce the spread of disease and improve overall indoor air quality. With over 125 years of improvement in UV air filtration, households, businesses, and public facilities can now enjoy the benefits of UV light in their HVAC.
Benefits of UV in HVAC
- Reduces Sickness
The coil in the HVAC system is prone to growth and build-up of germs and other pollutants such as dust and pollen. These contaminated coils then circulate the same polluted air within the building reducing the quality of air and leading to health issues.
But ultraviolet light can disrupt the DNA and RNA of germs, which suppresses their ability to multiply.
Studies have proven the efficiency of UV light systems in reducing microorganisms as they pass through Ultraviolet light rays. By killing harmful and drug-resistant germs at their source, UV Sanitize helps promote wellness and overall health.
- Alleviates Allergies and Asthma
UV light eliminates allergens such as dust mites, mold, and mildew from the HVAC unit, thereby reducing sneezing, wheezing, and other allergy-related symptoms.
HVAC UV light has been found to effectively control fungus which can lead to widespread infection and sickness in epidemic proportions. Residences, office spaces, and workplace environments can prevent fungus-related illnesses that are transmitted through air ducts by installing UV Sanitize.
- Eliminates Odors
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a source of odor-causing chemicals that infiltrate the air and can be attributed to a long list of health problems such as eye, nose, and throat irritation along with nausea and headaches.
The common sources of VOCs are tobacco products, cleaning agents, paints, craft supplies, and even personal products such as hair spray and perfumes. UV light effectively eliminates VOCs from the ventilation system, keeping the air clean and odor-free.
- Improves Airflow and Efficiency
As time passes, several parts of the HVAC system can become coated with dirt, germs, and pollutants that reduce the system's efficiency. Consequently, heating and cooling systems’ compromised functioning works twice as hard to achieve the desired output. This not only strains the system causing more wear and tear, but it also drives up energy consumption and monthly energy bills. UV light in the HVAC units keeps the coils clean and restores system capacity by 10-35%. Occupants can enjoy smooth and clean airflow and low maintenance and energy costs.
