HVAC UV Light

At Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating, we are offering a free evaluation by an engineer to provide solutions to prevent and reduce the spread of these contaminants in your home or business.

No matter how clean you keep your home or business, there will still be particles in the air that you continually breathe in. Mold, bacteria, and viruses can easily spread through an HVAC system. However, you can remedy this situation by opting to have a UV air purifier installed.

Healthy Climate UV-C Germicidal Lights

UV-C Radiation is germicidal. In particular, the wavelength of 254 nm is incredibly impressive at killing germs, viruses, mold, and bacteria. Fortunately, UV-C radiation can pass through air without creating ozone, so UV-C lamps can be used in air to disinfect surfaces.

• Powerful ultraviolet energy helps eliminate biological contaminants such as mold and bacteria
• Improve air quality by eliminating microbial growth inside equipment
• Protect HVAC equipment and keep the system running efficiently
• Offer installation flexibility with added safety features and simplified maintenance
• Reduce family’s exposure to potentially harmful airborne pollutants
• No ozone emissions, a known lung irritant

• Provides whole-home filtration for optimal home comfort and air quality, with no additional energy costs
• MERV 11 media filter (MERV11*) removes more than 85% of particles such as dust, pet dander and mold spores down to 3 microns **
• Effective filtration to protect HVAC equipment and keep your system running efficiently
• Quick and easy replacement with slide-out cartridge
• Compatible with any HVAC system, no additional power source is needed
• No ozone emissions, a known lung irritant
• 5-year limited warranty on covered components
• (Does not include major duct changes)

The UV-C systems are similar to the units installed in hospital HVAC systems.

Exposure to Contaminates

Exposure to mold, fungus, bacteria, and yeast can lead to a number of health problems such as allergies and asthma. You may not see them, but these contaminants are in the air you breathe inside your home. It is possible that the quality of the air in your home is worse than it is outside.

Facts About Mold

The presence of mold in the air is very common. There are about 150,000 different types of mold that grow indoors and out. Molds play an important role in the natural environment. However, the presence of mold indoors has become a source of concern due to certain health risks linked to mold exposure.

Mold spores are commonly found in household dust. Some of the health problems include allergies, asthma, and eyes, nose, and throat irritation. Mold can elevate the risk of respiratory infections.

How Does UV Light Help?

Ultraviolet light is germicidal, which means it is able to break down the DNA in bacteria, viruses and other airborne contaminants and thus keep them from growing. The UV light in the sun does this to the air outside. Using UV germicidal lights in connection with your home’s HVAC system is a way to disinfect the air inside without using chemicals.
