<h1>Got Musty, Mold & Mildew Smell? Knock It Out with a HVAC Mounted UV Air Cleaner</h1>

Many homes, especially older homes, tend to have the musty, mold & mildew smell, even if you don’t see any mold. And regardless of whether you see mold or mildew, if you smell it, most likely, it’s there—which means you and your family are probably breathing allergy and illness-causing mold spores on a daily basis. Mold spores and their aflatoxins have been recently implicated in many other illnesses and because of this, a lot of home owners are taking action when they even think they might have mold in their homes.

 

A good way to not only knock down or eliminate that musty mold or mildew smell (and destroy any airborne mold spores & bacteria) is to use a quality ultraviolet light air cleaner system that mounts inside the duct work of your air conditioner, furnace or HVAC system. UV or ultraviolet light air purifiers release highly-germicidal UV-C light rays that kill bacteria and mold on contact, which are the two primary causes of mold and mildew smell in a home, office, or building.

 

Granted, you probably need to check for leaks in the roof and window areas as mold and most bacteria must have moisture to grow, but certainly by killing the mold spores and bacteria, you’ve eliminated most of the cause of the odor. And, since the UV-C light produces healthy negative ions (like those found in nature), you get an extra amount of germ killing and air freshening power, since those negative ions destroy both microbes and odor molecules on contact, too!

 

It is very important, however, when choosing a central HVAC UV purifier system for your home that the bulbs are true 36 watt laboratory strength bulbs, and ideally, you want a double bulb system to make sure you get a 99%+ kill rate for mold and bacteria. Any wattage less than 36 watts will not be enough to kill all of the germs, bacteria, viruses, and other microbes commonly found in air conditioner ducts (and on cooling coils)—and if it’s not killing them all, that means it’s leaving some of the live germs floating around in the air for you and your family to breathe.

 

Also, be sure to place the ultraviolet light bulbs or lamps at least 30 inches apart, on the output side of the central HVAC system. This is because research has found that having the bulbs too close together has a canceling effect on the light units, which means you don’t get the full mold & bacteria killing power of each bulb. Some UV light air cleaners on the market put the bulbs in a metal frame, close together, and these simply do not work as well, for the reason we just explained above.

 

Also—for the best mold and mildew smell control and best indoor air quality, consider having your humidity checked—if it’s at 47% or higher, you probably need a dehumidifier (which can also make a BIG difference with mold and mildew odors–keep the humidity down to around 40% to keep mold and bacteria from growing).
