UV Air Purifiers 101: What You Need to Know

Good indoor air quality is crucial in every home, and one you can ensure by having reliable air purifier in place. But if you’re looking for an excellent alternative to standard air filtration systems, you might want to consider a UV light air purifier. This option is fast gaining traction among homeowners–and with good reason! A-1 Comfort Care Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, your trusted HVAC and plumbing service company, shares what makes UV air purifiers different to its counterparts.

How does a UV air purifier work?

Unlike common air filtration systems, which filters dust motes and pollen, UV air purifiers target microbes. Their light is similar to that given off by the sun. Because UV light carries natural purification properties, this type of air purifier eliminates bacteria, mold spores, and fetid odors from the air you breathe. UV air purifiers are usually installed in your home’s ventilation, near your HVAC unit, so it can sterilize the air passing through the system.
