July 29, 2015

Through the spring, summer, and fall, allergies are constantly an issue. No matter when seasonal allergies area a nuisance for you or your family, the need for relief is constant. Whether it is mold, pet dander, or some other bacteria that is hurting your indoor air quality, germicidal lights can help lessen the effects of allergies.

Germicidal lights may sound a tad unfamiliar because they aren’t often talked about, but they can help decrease the pollutants affecting you. Even though they’re hidden inside your system, germicidal lights are able to 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 end their growth and their ability to multiply. The lights are also working all the time, even when your system isn’t running, meaning germs are always being demolished.

In addition to all of the indoor air quality benefits you’ll get, germicidal lights also help your heating and cooling system run at its best. When mold, pet dander, and other microorganisms pile up in your system, it could inhibit its performance, decreasing energy efficiency and could even mean greater utility costs. Getting rid of those pollutants means a healthier system and air that’s a little easier to breathe for everyone.

Now that you’ve heard about all of the perks, 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 may even help you decrease your monthly energy costs.
