Ultraviolet Air Purifiers

UV Air Purifiers Are a Great Indoor Air Quality Option

Are you searching for a more advanced way of purifying the air in your home? The Witmer Company now offers ultraviolet air purifiers in your area! Building practices have developed over time to increase energy efficiency and reduce the transfer of heat. Unfortunately, these same enhancements can also inhibit the exchange of fresh air between the indoors and outdoors, resulting in a decrease in the indoor air quality. UV air purifiers can restore the air quality in your home by reducing or eliminating the presence of indoor air pollutants which may negatively impact your health and environment.

What is a UV Air Purifier?

A UV air purifier is a freestanding device that is installed directly into the ductwork of any existing HVAC system to reduce the concentration of indoor air pollutants. These UV germicidal lamps use ultraviolet, shortwave light to destroy and deactivate biological pollutants and airborne pathogens such as mold, viruses, and bacteria.

As air is circulated through the HVAC system and passes by the UV lights, safe, low levels of ultraviolet radiation are emitted which effectively cause damage to the microorganisms and prevent them from reproducing. Since they eradicate rather than trap these pollutants, UV air purifiers should be used in conjunction with your HVAC filtration system rather than as a replacement.

Benefits of UV Air Purifier

According to the EPA, concentrations of a variety of pollutants can be between two and five times higher indoors than outside, highlighting a need for UV air purification with benefits that include:

Reduced Energy Usage

Your UV air purifier may help your HVAC system to operate more efficiently by reducing the amount of particulate that accumulates on system components and inside the ductwork.

Healthier Home

In an unprotected environment, microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria continue to circulate, allowing cold and flu germs to spread throughout your home. While those with allergies or asthma may benefit the most from a UV air purifier, your entire family can breathe easier with fewer contaminants in the air.

Less Cleaning Time

A UV air purifier can help not only reduce or eliminate odors by neutralizing the air but also cut down on the amount of dust that settles on horizontal surfaces.

Decreased Maintenance

Because there is no filter to replace, UV air purifiers require very little maintenance. As part of your annual preventive maintenance, one of our technicians will inspect the device to ensure it is operational or find a solution if there are any problems with the unit or UV bulb.
