UV Light Air Cleaning

If you are unfamiliar with the different types of air filtration, cleaning and purification systems, you may very well not realize that there are so many. These different systems all operate in slightly different ways and target different types of indoor air contaminants.

For instance, some filtration systems are aimed at eliminating allergens and mold, while others are better at reducing the concentration of dust and eliminating odors. But that still leaves germs and other harmful microorganisms to infiltrate and multiply within your home.

You can help put an end to their invasion by installing a system of UV germicidal lights into your home heating and cooling system. With these lights in place, harmful microbes do not stand a chance. Here at Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer some great germicidal products to keep your family healthy all year long and we will be happy to help you select the right one for your home.

Seal in the Heat, Seal in the Germs

Your home is a sturdy and well-sealed structure. It is designed for energy efficiency, which means that it has to keep inside air in and keep outside air out. After all, if there were a bunch of leaks and drafts in your house, your heating and cooling systems would have to work much harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

However, because your home is so well sealed, it is also very good at trapping bacteria and viruses and keeping them in. These contaminants will continue to breed and spread around your home, eventually making your family sick and corrupting your indoor air quality.

Eliminate Biological Contaminants

Biological contaminants pose a pretty significant challenge for most home air purification systems. They are small and they spread fast, sneaking through filters and collecting in hard to clean places. By installing UV germicidal lights in your heating and cooling system, though, you can quickly and effectively eliminate all but a trace of these types of contaminants from your home.

UV germicidal lights are the perfect complement to an electric air cleaner or filtration system. With proper placement, they can eliminate the last harmful contaminants from the air that is being circulated in your home.

Keep Heating Systems Functioning Effectively

Getting rid of biological contaminants does not just help keep you and your family healthy. It can also keep your home heating system working better for longer. That is because bacteria and viruses can collect in areas of your home heating system that make it difficult for the system to keep doing its job.

Over time, biological contaminants can build up in places like the indoor coil of your heating system. This prevents proper air flow and can also reduce the overall efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.

No Cleaning Necessary

Perhaps the best thing about UV germicidal air cleaning lights is that they need very little care and maintenance. In fact, all you have to worry about is replacing the bulbs once a year. Of course, we here at Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning will be happy to take care of that for you as well.

Since these UV lights kill biological contaminants rather than trapping them, they do not need to be cleaned or serviced on a regular basis. They will continue to function, too, whether your heating or cooling system is operating or not.

If you are interested in having UV germicidal lights integrated into your home heating and air filtration system, give us a call today. Here at Bob’s, we have been serving the Greater Seattle, WA and Tacoma Metropolitan area for more than fifty years and we are always happy to get to know more of our neighbors. So get in touch today and let us know what we can do for you.

Ultra Violet Germicidal Air Purifier

Totaline® UV Germicidal Air Purifiers are the perfect addition to today's tightly constructed, highly energy efficient homes. These homes are built to seal in heated or cooled air. Unfortunately, they also do a great job of trapping mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, dust and other irritants. Airborne irritants are simply a fact of life. Molds can cause flareups of allergy symptoms, and in some cases, trigger asthma attacks. Bacteria, viruses and germs also can reside in the air you breathe every day. These airborne pollutants can affect your home comfort equipment, too. Allowed to circulate through your home and your system, these and other particles can build up on the indoor coil, inhibiting airflow and reducing heating and cooling efficiency.

CLEAN, FRESHER AIR ~ As a part of a complete system, the UV light enhances indoor air quality by reducing the amount of fungi, bacteria and other pollutants on the coil.

CONFIDENCE ~ Enjoy your enhanced indoor air quality with genuine peace of mind knowing that the UV light is proven technology that is safe, effective and energy efficient.

EASE OF USE ~ This product operates quietly and requires no cleaning or other routine monthly maintenance.

LASTING EFFICIENCY ~ Just replace the lamps once a year to maintain effectiveness.

Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health, but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also be harmful.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies have shown that the air in our homes can be even more polluted than outdoor air.*

Our immune systems can trigger brutal responses to pollutants released into the air by many organisms (bacteria, germs, fungi and molds). The results are what we call allergies. Even if you are not immediately affected, the smallest pollutants are inhaled and retained deep in the lungs, which may result in respiratory and other health problems after years of repeated exposure.

Here Is How It Works...

Totaline UV Air Purifiers use a patented proven process that mimics how our Sun destroys contaminants in the atmosphere. Totaline UV Air Purifiers use UVC germicidal light to attack microorganisms on a molecular level inhibiting its reproduction.

The microorganisms that pass through the ventilation system are responsible for the formation of legionella, molds, bacteria, viruses, mildew, fungi, etc. By reducing these contaminants, indoor air quality is greatly improved.

A Scientifically Proven Process

The Sun destroys contaminants and purifies our outdoor air, Totaline® Air Purifiers work much in the same way for indoor air. Totaline Air Purifiers use a scientifically proven process which mimics the process our Sun uses to destroy contaminants in our atmosphere. UV wavelengths attack the microorganism on a molecular level, actually scrambling the DNA of the cell. These changes result in incorrect codes being transmitted from the modified DNA, which in turn inhibits its reproduction and lead to the destruction of the microorganism.
