The average indoor air contains more airborne pollutants than the air outside. This is especially so in urban and metropolitan areas like Pierce County. Apart from cooling and heating, HVAC systems also have the dual role of improving indoor air quality. UV air scrubbers go the extra step and remove additional contaminants. Find out how this fixture works.
How Does It Work?
A UV air scrubber is a small device with a bulb and is installed close to the HVAC’s condenser coil. The fixture emits light into the duct system; all air that travels through the ductwork must pass the light before it reaches the home interior. The UV rays kill airborne microbes and bacteria by scrambling their DNA and molecular makeup. The air scrubber automatically shuts on and off with the HVAC’s blower fan and is virtually maintenance-free.
Now that you know what and how air scrubbers work, here is how your household can benefit from having one installed.
Reduce Odors
Odors are caused by bacteria emanated from pets, mold, cooking, etc. Air scrubbers purify the air of odor-causing germs.
Minimize Allergies
Does anyone in your home suffer from allergies or other respiratory illnesses? Having an air scrubber may reduce sick spells as well as coughing, wheezing, and sneezing fits.
Eliminate Contaminants in Concentrated Areas
Airborne pollutants are concentrated in certain sections of the home, mainly the kitchen and bathroom since they have the most humidity. Air scrubbers can reduce bacteria in these areas both in the air and on surfaces.
