Fight Allergies in Sharonville with a UV Germicidal Light

Ultraviolet light was initially used to treat tuberculosis. Today, it’s used to sterilize hospitals, some foods during processing, water and air. Germicidal lamps can also make your Sharonville home’s environment cleaner.

A UV lamp can disinfect HVAC systems and boost the air quality in your Sharonville home. It can kill mold, bacteria, viruses and other pathogens within 10 seconds of contact.

This can lead to relief for asthma and allergy sufferers, especially in hot, humid climates where mold and bacteria multiply. These lights may even help your HVAC system run longer, since they keep pieces clean.

Our Experts can recommend the system that will work best for your home and your family’s needs. And all work by Knochelmann Service Experts is supported by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.^*

How Does Germicidal UV Light Work?

Ultraviolet lamps are placed inside your ductwork, near your HVAC system, and work all the time. These lamps use ultraviolet radiation and special lightbulbs to wipe out the DNA of bacteria or a virus.

In as fast as 10 seconds, this powerful light stops contaminants from multiplying throughout your HVAC system and home.

Two studies have shown how efficient UV light is in combating germs and mold.

In 2012, researchers at Duke University Medical Center used it to eliminate 97 percent of drug-resistant bacteria in 50 hospital rooms.

In 2001, researchers found UV light “significantly lowered” mold amounts in a commercial office building’s HVAC equipment.

A germicidal system can also wipe out scents and airborne bioaerosols like pollen or pet dander. It’s not useful against dust, which is best controlled by an air filtration system.

Is UV Germicidal Light Safe?

Using UV light in your home is not dangerous as long as you take some safety measures.

The sun radiates ultraviolet light, which has a lower wavelength than light you can see. It’s responsible for causing painful sunburns. Prolonged overexposure can result in wrinkles, skin cancer and eye problems.

The type of light used in a germicidal system is stronger, so it’s important to let Knochelmann Service Experts take care of installation and maintenance. You should never look directly at the light or permit bare skin touch it.
