UV Lights
Today’s homes have excellent air sealing that keeps conditioned air inside to improve your comfort system’s energy efficiency. But airtight homes also trap contaminants — mold, bacteria, viruses and pollutants — that can trigger allergy symptoms and asthma attacks. The ultraviolet (UV) light destroys the DNA of living organisms. Combine it with a high-efficiency air cleaner, and you’ll improve the hygiene of the conditioned air circulating through your home, while keeping your system running cleaner and more efficiently.
Cleaner, Healthier Air
Mold, fungus and harmful bacteria are killed in their tracks so your home’s air quality is restored back to freshness. You’ll also benefit from reduced allergy symptoms and asthma attacks.
No Foul Odours
That funky smell, otherwise known as “dirty sock syndrome,” is a by-product of microbial growth on your wet coil. Upon installation, the UV light both prevents and eliminates these unpleasant odours.
Improved System Performance
Microbial organisms restrict airflow and limit heat transfer capability, increasing the operating cost of your equipment. The UV light makes it impossible for these organisms to survive, so your system runs at peak efficiency.
Extremely Low Maintenance
The lamp needs to be changed every 9,000 hours (approximately every 12 months). An indicator light, located on the front of the panel, conveniently reminds you when it’s almost time to replace the lamp assembly.
Save Money
The UV light continuously cleans the coil and drain pan, making your system run more efficiently, resulting in less energy use and lower utility bills.
How the Ultraviolet Light Works
The ultraviolet light is mounted inside your system near the indoor coil where mold and microbes may grow. Once activated, the ultraviolet light goes right to work. By using penetrating ultraviolet rays that disrupt the DNA an organism needs to reproduce, the UV light actually destroys microbial growth, resulting in a cleaner indoor coil and circulating purer air in your home environment.
