Air ducts do well with UV lights for many reasons.
Ultraviolet lighting does wonders when it’s installed into your HVAC system. Any business will be concerned about how clear its air is, especially with the pandemic still surging globally. For anyone who has concerns about the quality of air you’re getting, you should get UV lights installed in your air ducts. Air ducts do well with UV lights for many reasons.
Your Air Ducts Will Have Better Airflow
UV lighting stops microbial buildup from occurring. This keeps your cooling coils, air filters, duct surfaces, and drain pans as clean as they can get. With the help of UV lighting, your HVAC system will function at peak capacity all year long. Your air ducts won’t gather up as many contaminants, significantly improving heat transfer and airflow.
This improvement in airflow will also make your business more energy-efficient, cutting down on your energy bill. If that wasn’t enough, you won’t have to spend as much money on maintenance expenses throughout your HVAC system’s lifespan.
Energy-Efficiency
As we just mentioned, you’ll use less energy if you put UV lights into your air ducts. Many businesses will see energy consumption go down as much as 35 percent. With your HVAC system performing like it’s brand new, there will be less maintenance to undergo, and your HVAC system will have a longer lifespan.
Low-Cost Investment for your System
UV lights are cost-effective for businesses since they can keep buildings clean without needing to spend much money. Before you invest in UV lights for your air ducts, you should consider the following:
- What size your UV lights should be
- How many lights will be needed
- Where the lights should be installed
- The temperature of your building
- Reflectivity of your surrounding surfaces
You’ll Have Fewer Illnesses and Diseases
An HVAC system helps circulate air around your building. The problem is that this can potentially send bacteria and viruses airborne if you don’t take the right precautions. This is where UV lights come into play. By installing them in your air ducts, you won’t run into the problem of germs being spread throughout your business. This keeps workers from taking sick days, making your business more productive overall.
