Even though users cannot see it, the home’s air is a part of the comfort and health. Maximizing the air quality in the home can lead to a healthier and more comfortable daily life. Air cleaners or purifiers can help boost the home’s air.
Filters as part of the furnace is one way that users can improve the air quality. They can grab and hold bits of dust, dirt and other tiny floating things. UV-Light air purifiers take this air scrubbing to another level. Let’s look at how these purifiers help boost the air quality.
Scrubbing the air clean
The power of light: UV light is an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation that is a concern when they are out in the sun on a hot day, but is helpful when it comes to scrubbing the air clean. The light can zap air impurities, particularly mold and mildew. The light is just outside the spectrum, so it is not visible to the naked eye.
What’s bad is good: The property of UV lights that is a concern and harmful to our skin, eyes and health is what makes it good at purifying air. While users do not want UV light to harm the cells and DNA, users do want it to zap and blast the junk that is in the air.

The technology: An air purification unit works this way: air is brought into the air purifier and sent through an initial HEPA filter to grab what it can.
Then an internal chamber exposes the cleaner air to UV light before it is pushed back out into the room and house. Users will never be exposed to the light from the purifier as it is encased in the unit itself.
What it gets rid of: Since UV light is most effective at killing cells, it is great at eliminating the mold and mildew spores that are in the air. This is helpful for those who suffer from allergies and asthma. Research has also shown that this type of light can help combat the amount of viruses and bacteria in the air.
Home air quality
The professional team of technicians at Van Drunen Heating & Air Conditioning do more than AC and furnace work. They can also assist users with home’s air quality. Their crew can come out to their place and look over the current situation and advise the best next steps to keep the air at its best.
They can take a look at the need for a humidifier as well. A humidifier adds a small amount of moisture to the air, which can ease dry skin and chapped lips, asthma, snoring and allergy symptoms. They are honored to have the opportunity to serve the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland communities in the region for more than 50 years.
