Homeowners are increasingly interested in UVGI systems for the following potential benefits:
Killing Microorganisms: UVGI is a proven technology for inactivating or killing airborne bacteria, viruses (including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19), mold spores, and fungi.
Improved Air Quality: By reducing biological contaminants, UVGI can improve overall indoor air quality, which may lead to fewer allergy symptoms, headaches, and respiratory problems for occupants.
Odor and VOC Reduction: Some systems can help reduce odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Preventing Mold/Mildew Buildup: When installed within the HVAC system to shine on the evaporator coil, the UV light can prevent the growth of mold and mildew on the coils and drain pans, which also improves the system's efficiency.
Safety and Convenience: When installed correctly by a professional, the systems are safe for in-home use, chemical-free, and require minimal maintenance.
