Breathe Easier with UV Lighting in Your Home
It may surprise you to know that because of accumulated dust, dirt, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, and more, the odds are the air you’re breathing in your home is far more polluted than outdoor air. Help is available, however, through the use of UV lighting installed by the expert technicians from Tri-Star Heating & Cooling.
What Does UV Light in Your Home Do?
Stated simply, UV light, used extensively in hospitals and medical clinics, disrupts the DNA in germs and viruses, inhibiting their ability to multiply. UV lighting placed near the coils in your HVAC system not only attacks the DNA in germs and viruses but also helps prevent the buildup of other pollutants such as dust, pollen, and smoke.
The removal of these health risks from the air you’re breathing in your home benefits everyone, especially those suffering from respiratory issues like asthma and COPD.
An added benefit is that UV lighting can help your HVAC system run more efficiently, reducing your utility bills, according to some estimates, by up to 35 percent. And for most of us, that amounts to quite a savings!
UV Lighting is Beneficial, But is It Safe?
Yes, it is safe as long as you follow certain precautions. UV lighting should be installed by skilled professional technicians who have the proper training and equipment for the job. And second, you should not look directly into the lighting nor expose your skin to it.
