July 29, 2015

Through the spring, summer, and fall, allergies are a constant. No matter when seasonal allergies area a nuisance for you or your family, the need for relief never ends. Whether it is mold, pet dander, or some other bacteria that is degrading your indoor air quality, germicidal lights can help ease the effects of allergies.

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

Germicidal lights work by emitting UV (ultraviolet) light rays that can penetrate the cell walls of the pollutants in your air, causing enough damage to stop their growth and their ability to multiply. The lights are also working all the time, even when your system isn’t operating, meaning germs are always being eliminated.

In addition to all of the indoor air quality benefits you’ll receive, germicidal lights also help your heating and cooling system operate at its best. When mold, pet dander, and other microorganisms build up in your system, it could inhibit its performance, impacting energy efficiency and may 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 read about all of the benefits, there’s really no reason you shouldn’t ask about germicidal lights next time you have air conditioner service done. After all, it does help improve your air quality and could even help you lessen your monthly energy costs.
