What is a UV light?

A UV light is a HVAC accessory that uses ultraviolet light to improve your indoor air quality.

UV lights are great for people with asthma or allergies because it improves your indoor air quality. It is important to keep in mind that the EPA says indoor air pollution is five times greater than outdoor air pollution.
UV lights work with your existing air conditioning and heating system, so you do not have to install a new air conditioning and heating system in order to get a UV light kit.

UV lights work to prevent prevent microbial spores from reproducing. When the ultraviolet light scrambles the DNA of the cells, it changes them so they are no longer able to reproduce. This hinders the growth of mold and mildew.
