They use ultraviolet light to neutralize airborne pathogens. UV is a short-wave light that irradiates microorganisms that pass beneath it. This process damages the DNA, rendering it incapable of causing infection.<\/p>\n<p>HVAC UV lights work in combination with standard\u00a0filters, but they deliver more effective results when used with HEPA filters.<\/p>\n<p>UV lights effectively neutralize a broad range of contaminants, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Viruses<\/li>\n<li>Bacteria<\/li>\n<li>Fungi<\/li>\n<li>Volatile organic compounds<\/li>\n<li>Mold spores<\/li>\n<li>Mildew<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the Benefits of Installing an HVAC UV Light?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why we recommend UV air purifiers for our clients.
