Causes of Indoor Air Pollutants
Indoor air quality is affected by both indoor and outdoor conditions. Above all, if air quality maintenance isn't a priority (filters aren't changed; ducts aren't cleaned regularly) it can result in poor indoor air quality. Pollutants that can affect air quality in a home generally fall into two categories:
Particulate Matter Pollutants. This category includes dust, smoke, pollen, animal dander, and tobacco smoke. Also included are particles generated from combustion appliances like cooking stoves, as well as particles associated with tiny organisms like:
- Dust Mites
- Molds
- Bacteria
- Viruses
Gaseous Pollutants.
These pollutants come from combustion processes. Sources include gas cooking stoves, vehicle exhaust, and tobacco smoke, but may also come from:
- Building Materials
- Furnishings
- Adhesives, Varnishes, Cleaning Products, & Pesticides
- Symptoms of Poor Indoor Air Quality
- Sneezing
- Nose Bleeding
- Coughing
- Upper Respiratory Congestion

Humidifiers

AIR Humidifiers can provide a number of great benefits
- Relieving coughs, colds, the flu, and hay fever
- Reducing allergy and asthma symptoms
- Decreasing static electricity
- Improving the atmosphere and air quality of your home
- Moisturizing the respiratory system, allowing asthma sufferers to breathe easier

UV Light Air purifier systems
Are you worried about mold, viruses, and bacteria circulating through your HVAC system? Air filters will block most of these contaminants from getting into your home, but they can only do so much. In fact, filters often provide another area for mold and bacteria to grow and thrive! If you want ultimate protection from indoor air quality contaminants, you need more than just an air filter-you need a UV light system!
Addis HVAC Service provides high quality UV lights for installation in your homes. To keep your home healthy and comfortable, contact us today!
What Is a UV Germicidal Light System?
UV air cleaners consist of ultraviolet light bulbs that can be installed in your air handler to reduce the airborne bacteria and mold in your home. When air circulates through your ductwork, any of these indoor air contaminants present will be exposed to UV radiation. In just a few cycles, the radiation exposure will kill the bacteria and mold, preventing them from spreading through your home. UV germicidal lights can be installed directly onto your air conditioner coil or just past your air filter, where they'll catch anything the filter missed.
Since the light is tucked away in your air handler, UV light systems pose no threat to your safety. Even so, the radiation produced by UV germicidal lights is powerful enough to eliminate any and all bacteria, viruses, and mold, so you'll have noticeably cleaner indoor air.
UV Germicidal Light Replacement
UV lights work great as part of a total indoor air quality solution. For best results, you should replace your light bulb once a year. Most UV lights last a little over a year.
