UV Light and Air Conditioning: A Best Kept Secret for Super Clean Indoor Air?

UV or ultraviolet light has been used for many years it the medical and other technical fields for killing bacteria, viruses & general disinfection of air, water, and other materials. When UV light was found effective for killing mold, bacteria and viruses in air conditioning ducts, a lot of companies got on the bandwagon, creating lots of UV light air purification systems. Some produced ozone, which is harmful so many people steered away from it. However, researchers found that by properly using UV-C light in air conditioning ducts, that you get all the great germ killing power of UV light—without the ozone. And, you get good production of healthy negative OH- ions, which further purify the air, kill bacteria & mold, and even help eliminate odors. Still, it seems that a lot allergy and asthma sufferers either don’t know about the benefits of top-rated duct mounted UV light air cleaners or they’ve been misled in some way about it and don’t want to try it. In this article, we’d like to shed some light on HVAC mounted ultraviolet light air cleaners and how they can make a world of difference in your home, room, office or even business air quality–when installed correctly, with the right type of UV light.
 
As we said above, top-rated UV light bulbs with UV-C type rays can easily kill mold, bacteria, algae, viruses, and other germs in your home or office, on contact, provided that they are at least 36 watt bulbs and it’s best if there are two of these bulbs about 30-36” apart in the output side of the air conditioning duct. Why two bulbs? Two bulbs create about 48,000 light units, which is what is required for a 98% + kill on the first pass. One bulb will kill about 70% of germs, mold, etc., the first time the air and the pollutant float by, and that will work fine, but it will take longer for the air to be completely cleaned and all of the organisms in the air, killed.
 
Why choose the output side of your home’s central HVAC or air conditioning system? That’s because the coil (where air conditioning refrigerant flows through the tubing to cool the air) is wet about 90% of the time and accumulates and feeds the bacteria, mold and other germs that land there as the air blows by. If the UV lamps are placed on the output side, any germs coming off the coil will be killed by the ultraviolet light. This way you don’t have extra live bacteria and mold blowing out of the central air conditioning ducts and into your rooms for you to breathe. So for best allergy, asthma, sinus or respiratory symptom reduction, we recommend a two-bulb UV light air purifier system, installed in the output ducts of your HVAC system.
 
For those with severe allergies, respiratory problems or other health issues, it’s often best to have both a two-bulb UV light air cleaner in the air conditioning duct—and have a couple of top-rated portable air cleaners in the rooms of your home or office where you spend the majority of your time. This way, you have the germicidal action of the ultraviolet light, killing any bacteria, mold or viruses that might be present, and you have true HEPA & carbon air filtration to remove these pollutants and all the other particles, gases, and vapors—plus all the healthy negative ions floating around that further kill bacteria, mold, viruses, and even freshen the air. 
 
This combination of a top-rated UV light air cleaner and room air purifier system can create super-clean, allergen and germ free air in your home in as little as 24-48 hours. Do make sure, however, that whatever UV light air cleaner system you buy has those 36 watt laboratory grade bulbs—anything less will not do the job. And make sure to place them at least 30-36” apart in the output side of the HVAC ducts, so you can get maximum performance for your money.
