UV Light Air Purifiers from A Perfect Climate Heating & Cooling


Trying to determine how healthy your indoor air supply is can be difficult. Although you can’t typically see them, homes often contain contaminants, including viruses and bacteria, that can be harmful to you and your family members, especially for those suffering from asthma, allergies or other respiratory illnesses.

Although HVAC air filters are tasked with catching many contaminants, they can only do so much. That’s why many homeowners choose to have a UV light air purifier installed in their home to eliminate these pollutants and contaminants.

If you’re not exactly sure what a UV light air purifier is or how it works, keep reading. We’ll explain everything you need to know about these indoor air quality solutions so you can decide whether one is right for your Indianapolis area home.

How Do UV Light Air Purifiers Work?

Whole-house UV light air purifiers are installed on the return duct of your home’s HVAC system or in the ductwork to provide complete coverage for the entire home.

Unlike media air cleaners that use air filters to capture pollutants and contaminants in your home’s air supply, a UV light air purifier uses ultraviolet light to neutralize the particles to render them harmless. Although the particles remain in the air supply, they pose no threat as UV lights make them no longer able to infect or reproduce.

They are much more effective solutions than portable air purifiers, which only provide coverage to a single room or small area of a home. They are more effective than air filtration systems because these filters can get clogged and keep contaminants circulating in the air.

Whole-house UV air purifiers can filter out the following contaminants and indoor air pollutants: mold spores, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, pollen, mold and dust mites.

What Are the Signs You Need a UV Light Air Purifier?

Some of the common reasons you may want to consider installing a whole house UV air purifier include:

Family Members with Health Issues

If you or your family members are frequently getting sick, poor indoor air quality could be partly to blame. UV air purifiers stop viruses and bacteria from spreading through your home and infecting family members. UV light air purifiers are especially helpful for people who suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses such as emphysema and COPD.

Your Home Smells

If the air in your home smells funky, it could indicate the presence of mold, mildew, or bacteria, which can all produce a foul smell. Mold can damage your home and lead to health issues, so it’s important to have it taken care of as soon as possible.

Stale Air

Does your home’s air smell stale? When there’s a lack of ventilation in a home, moisture and other pollutants can accumulate and cause the air to smell stale.

Excess Dust

If it feels like no matter how frequently you dust your home there’s still more dusting to do, you may need the assistance of an air purification device.
