When to Use a UV Air Purifier

Monday, May 29th, 2017

If you think that just keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the cold winter season is enough to live in the comfort that you deserve, think again. It is also very important that you are able to maintain great indoor air quality in your home, in addition to comfortable temperatures. This can have major benefits not only for your overall comfort levels, but for your health as well.

In many homes, the use of pollutant removal based systems, such as air filters and electronic air cleaners, may be enough to maintain sufficiently high indoor air quality. In others, though, dust and dirt are not the only pollutants of concern. There are also biological pollutants, including viruses, mold, and bacteria to deal with. For such pollutants, simply removing them from the air is not enough. They must be destroyed, and UV germicidal lights are the right tool for the job.

Heating your home successfully is a vital part of ensuring your comfort during the long winter season. Equally important, though, is maintaining great indoor air quality. This extends beyond removing pollutants from the air in your home. You also need to maintain sufficient humidity in your living space.

Air conditioners actively dry out the air in a way that heaters do not. However, during the winter, you are already dealing with air that is dryer than during the summer season. That is why a whole-house humidifier in Bolingbrook, IL can be such a powerful ally.
