Buying a UV Light Air Purification System? 4 Reasons to Buy Only USA-Made Units…

UV light air cleaners are continually rising in popularity, largely because UV light stops mold growth, quickly reducing allergy and illness caused by poor indoor air quality. The good units with true 36 watt laboratory grade bulbs and heavy duty construction do a wonderful job of killing airborne bacteria, mold spores, and other germs that routinely float through the air ducts in most homes. Unfortunately, however, there are a few cheap whole house UV air purifiers on the market now for a very low price—and consequently, there are problems.
 
First of all, a lot of the ‘cheaper’ UV light air purifier systems aren’t 36 watt units. They either ‘don’t say’ in the ad, and sometimes it’s even misleading, touting a 36 watt bulb but when received, there is either an 18 watt bulb or two smaller bulbs that don’t add up to 36 watts, so read the fine print, for sure, or you might not have enough power in the bulbs to really do any good. These UV bulbs are often referred to as ‘germicidal’ and how ‘germicidal’ they are depends greatly on the strength of the bulb. One bulb at 36 watts is 24k light units, enough to kill most organisms—when you drop below that wattage, you end up leaving many organisms alive to float around in your indoor air.
 
Second, a lot of the cheap ultraviolet heating duct purifiers available now are made overseas, in China or other locations. While a lot of products made in China are made well and represent a good value, most of these aren’t. Look at the pictures carefully, with a close-up if possible. There are usually some issues with the construction of the box the bulb fits into, loose connections, rough edges, open spaces where moisture can get into the electronics and other things.
 
Third, the quality of the bulbs is a factor, too—no offense, but US made bulbs last a lot longer, like 2-3 years, as opposed to 6-12 months for the ‘cheaper’ units. This might not seem like a big deal, but it does add up when the bulbs cost $20-$40 each! If you’re an HVAC contractor installing these units for other people, it’s even more important to only provide a good product that works well—otherwise, you’ll end up with more headaches, and less referrals. Some American made UV light air purifier units also have a switch on the outside, which is helpful when you need to get into the A/C system for service, coil cleaning, etc—otherwise you have to go unplug the unit, plug back up when you leave, etc. It’s just easier.
 
Lastly, you want a USA made ultraviolet heating duct purifier for the sake of the warranty. It’s a lot easier to get problems resolved when the company is here in the US, not 7000 miles away. And most of the American made UV units have anywhere from a 1-3 year warranty, as opposed to 6 months, or no warranty from ‘cheaper’ unit manufacturers. So do yourself a favor and spend that extra little bit and buy the best rated ultraviolet light systems that are American made—you’ll get the air disinfection you want and won’t have to buy a new one for a long time.
