Installing UV Lights in Nesbit
When your heater, heat pump, or air conditioner is on, your HVAC air filter sieves out all dust, dander, pollen, hair, and other large-sized particulates as air passes through. However, many micro-fine contaminants pass right through HVAC air filters. These include living microorganisms such as those found within the aerosols of a sneeze.
Without intervention, bacteria, viruses, and other germs can move from room to room via your HVAC system. In airtight living spaces, this is often how communicable illnesses spread.
HVAC systems can also harbor fungi. If you have damp, overly moist conditions in your home, you may have ongoing problems with mold in your HVAC air ducts or throughout your heat pump or air conditioner’s condensate line. These buildups can cause issues like short cycling, overheating, and icing. They can also make the indoor air smell funky.
As conditioned air passes through UV light systems, ultraviolet rays render living microorganisms obsolete. The result is cleaner, healthier air and a fresher-smelling home.
UV light installation is a multi-step process.
- Select and size UV light systems
- Choose a location for UV lights
- Mount lights in air handlers or ducting
- Connect the electrical power supply
- Test new systems
Our team can also provide indoor air quality testing before and after UV light service. This will measure the concentrations of dangerous pathogens and ensure that your new IAQ equipment is working effectively.
When installed as part of whole-house air purification systems, UV lights can eliminate many common, gaseous chemical contaminants. These include harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from off-gassing building materials, indoor cooking projects, chemical-laden surface cleaners, air fresheners, and self-care products.
UV lights for HVAC additionally support the health, efficiency, and longevity of HVAC systems. With cleaner evaporator coils and condensate drains and improved airflow, heat pumps, ACs, and condensing furnaces don’t have to work as hard. This leads to lower home energy bills, fewer repair issues, and longer equipment lifespans.
