UV Lights: How They Work and How to Maintain Them

UV lights are one way people are finding they can reduce sickness by killing microorganisms in the home safely and effectively. In fact, some homeowners already have a UV system installed on their HVAC system and don't even know it!

Here's what a UV light system is and how it works:

When installed to your HVAC system, a UV light helps kill mold, bacteria, and viruses. As your system works to move air through your home, the air passes across your UV light. The light then kills those harmful microbes that might be floating in the air of your home. So, if you are considering ways to improve your indoor air quality, a UV light might be a great idea. Not only does it work with your existing equipment to help clean the air, but it's also a whole-home solution, as opposed to single-room UV units that are only able to cover a small area.

If you already have a UV light installed on your furnace, now might be a great time to check it out to make sure it's still working. Like any light, UV lights burn out and have to be changed occasionally. To find out whether your light is working and also how to replace the UV light on your furnace if it's burned out, check out this video: http://bit.ly/2FY2klW.
