UV-C Germicidal Lights Reduce Mold, Allergens,
and other Biological Contaminants in Your Home
and other Biological Contaminants in Your Home
Indoor Pollutants in you Home
Most people spend the majority of their time inside their homes. The EPA warns that the
air inside your home may be up to 5 times more polluted than outside air. Microscopic
mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses linger in the air leading to allergies, asthma,
respiratory disease and infection. These unseen biohazards can live and breed within
your air conditioning systems moist environment. Once airborne, these unseen particles
can pose a serious health threat.
Mold thrives in the cool damp environment of the air handling system. Mold growth on
cooling coils and the interior of the air handler is not only a health risk, it can significantly
reduce the efficiency of the system.
UV-C light
Ultraviolet light is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies beyond the purple
edge if visible light. The UV-A range causes "sun tanning" in human skin. The UV-B range
causes "sun burning". Natural UV-C range light from the sun is filtered out by the
atmosphere. Scientists have known the germ killing power of artificially created UV-C light
for years. The antimicrobial power of UV light is used in water treatment facilities, in the
food industry, and in hospitals where it is used to clean the air and reduce the threat of
airborne infection as well as to disinfect surfaces and surgical instruments. Today this
powerful disinfecting technology is available for our homes and businesses resulting in
healthier, safer, indoor environments.

Why Ultraviolet Light?
Kill Germs With Light
For over a century scientists have known that certain frequencies of light have a
devastating effect on microbial life. We now know that exposure to ultraviolet light in the
range of 254 NM (UV-C band) disrupts the DNA of micro-organisms thus preventing
them from reproducing, thereby effectively killing them.
UV Light- A Well Established Disinfection Technology
UV light disinfection is now widely used in hospitals and laboratories to sanitize
instruments and work surfaces and to prevent the spread potentially lethal airborne
infectious diseases. The technology is used by the food industry to sterilize food before
packaging and water treatment systems large and small now incorporate UV light as a
chemical-free means of purification.
A Cleaner Air Handler
Installation of a germicidal UV light inside the air handler inhibits the growth of mold
there which saves energy by allowing the system to operate more efficiently. A cleaner
system also requires less maintenance.
Germs in the Air You Breathe
Like it or not the indoor air you breathe has a lot of stuff in it that you don’t want. Like
viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, and allergens. Some are only annoying, others can
make you sick. Because air passes repeatedly through your HVAC system (in fact
many microbes like the cool dark damp interior of the system) this is the ideal place for
germs to multiply and spread throughout the house.
A Whole-House UV Air Purifier - The Best Defense
Because it works inside your central air system a whole-house UV air purifier is able to
intercept airborne pathogens and destroy them as they pass by. As air cycles through
the system it passes by the UV light many times exposing and re-exposing airborne
microbes to it's sterilizing effect. This has proven to be a safe, economical, chemical-
free way to significantly reduce airborne contaminants indoors.
