UV Lights
On the light spectrum, ultraviolet light sits between visible light and X-rays. UV light has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than light in the visible range. There are three types of UV rays, but UVC is what's often used in germicidal lights.
UV lights work to boost your indoor air quality by breaking down the DNA of various microorganisms and bacteria. As the air moves through your HVAC system, it comes into contact with the UV light. This light prevents bacteria and other microscopic threats from being able to duplicate.
Ultraviolet lights stop the spread of germs and illnesses that could otherwise impact your health. They can also target mold and mildew spores that develop in some circumstances. UV lights help with allergy symptoms and respiratory illnesses by stopping common pollutants in your home from reproducing.
UV lights are often installed either directly into your HVAC system or at the entrance of your ductwork. When placed in your HVAC system, these lights work to limit mold growth near the drain pan. Ductwork UV lights clean the air before it's circulated around your home. Both of these installation options help to improve your home's indoor air quality.

All furnaces should be serviced and maintained regularly to make sure that they continue heating effectively and efficiently. If you want to lessen the chances of your furnace breaking down over the winter, you should always have your furnace professionally serviced every year. In this post, we're going to discuss why furnace maintenance is important and what it involves.
The Importance of Yearly Furnace Maintenance
Furnace maintenance is essential for your safety. It helps to prevent possible fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks. The technician servicing your equipment will always check that everything is functioning properly to ensure the furnace will automatically shut down if it overheats or experiences a safety issue. Maintenance is also important for the life of your furnace, ensuring it lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 years. It can also save you money by lowering your heating costs and helping to avoid costly repairs later on.
What Does Furnace Maintenance Entail?
Maintaining a furnace involves inspecting, cleaning and testing all of your heating system's components on an annual basis. This includes the various components inside the furnace, as well as the blower and thermostat.
A technician will inspect your ductwork to ensure it isn't damaged or leaking air. Damaged ductwork will greatly increase your energy costs and make your heating system far less effective.
Cleaning the blower assembly, furnace burners and flame sensor are especially important for keeping the furnace heating effectively. This also provides reliability. Inspecting the heat exchanger and exhaust flue is also essential for ensuring the furnace is properly vented and preventing carbon monoxide leaks.
