These are all, of course, important components to home performance, but what about your indoor air quality? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, the air quality in your home is about much more\nthan simply the temperature\u2014it\u2019s about whether your air is actually <em>healthy <\/em>or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One method to ensure good indoor air quality is with the installation of a UV (ultraviolet) air purifier installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWait, Is that Safe?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! We understand the skepticism, though. After all, we\u2019ve\nbeen told all of our lives that UV rays are bad for us, and that when we go in\nthe sun we need to protect ourselves with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses.\nFortunately, the installation of a UV air purifier does not mean you need to\nwalk around your house sporting your summer shades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of radiation from a UV air purifier is absolutely\nharmless to people and pets, but destroys single-cell microorganisms such as\nmold and mildew. And guess where mold and mildew likes to grow? In cool and\ndamp areas, like your air conditioner\u2019s air ducts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cOkay, So How Do They Work?\u201d <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also referred to as UV germicidal lights or UV lights, a UV\nair purifier is comprised of bulbs that resemble \u201cblack lights\u201d that you see at\nconcerts and amusement parks to make your white clothing glow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They work by attacking the DNA of biological contaminants\nand the life-sustaining proteins that keep these cells alive. Once these cells\nare eliminated, UV lights prevent them from replicating. So not only are they effectively\neradicated, you won\u2019t have to worry about them later on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Still Not Convinced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the installation of a UV air purifier, you\u2019ll improve\nyour indoor air quality quite substantially. We likely don\u2019t have to tell you\nthat mold is unhealthy for you and your family to breathe in. In addition to\nthe foul odor it emits, it can have a serious negative impact of the health of\nanyone with allergies or asthma. In fact, even if you don\u2019t suffer from these\nspecific ailments, you may still find yourself having a reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UV air purifiers help homeowners stop mold growth right at\nthe source, and unobtrusively. As we mentioned above, UV lights are installed\nright into your ductwork, where they\u2019re positioned over your evaporator coil, and\nfrom there use an anti-microbial effect to eliminate mold, mildew, and other unwelcomed\nbiohazards that may be growing in your system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UV lights are just one of the options we have when it comes\nto air cleaning and air purification. It\u2019s important to remember that not every\nhome requires this type of system, and not every system can effectively solve\nyour indoor air quality problems alone\u2014you may need a combination of 2 or more\nair quality systems to achieve healthy air in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please reach out to our team to learn more about our various <a href=\"\/home-performance\/air-filters-purifiers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">air filter and air purifier options for North Georgia<\/a> residents.
