UVC Air Scrubbers

 UVC air scrubbers use germicidal ultraviolet (UVC) light to neutralize and destroy harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and mold, as they pass through your HVAC system. The UVC light effectively disinfects the air circulating in your home or business, improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of illness. UVC air scrubbers are typically installed within the HVAC system's ductwork or air handler, ensuring that the UVC light is contained and not directly exposed to occupants, making it a safe and effective solution for air purification.

UVC air scrubbers are designed to eliminate a wide range of airborne contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, mold spores, allergens, dust, and pollen. They can also help neutralize odors caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and reduce the buildup of contaminants on HVAC components, such as coils and duct surfaces. While UVC air scrubbers are highly effective at removing many harmful pollutants, they may not be as effective against certain chemicals, gases, or larger particles. For comprehensive air purification, it's essential to combine UVC air scrubber installations with proper filtration and ventilation systems.

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of your UVC air scrubber. Maintenance tasks typically include inspecting and cleaning the UVC light bulb, checking the air scrubber's electrical connections, and ensuring proper operation of the control system. The frequency of maintenance depends on factors such as your local climate, air quality, and system usage. Generally, it is recommended to inspect and clean the UVC bulb at least once a year or more frequently if needed. The UVC bulb may need to be replaced every 12-24 months, depending on the specific model and usage.
