UV Germicidal Lamps

Bright idea in air quality.

Bacteria, fungi and molds can find a welcome home in and around your air conditioner’s evaporator coil. That can lead to odors, illnesses and bothersome allergies. When properly installed near the air conditioning coil, the Aprilaire UV Germicidal Lamp kills the harmful growths and eliminates the odors associated with this growth. It’s a great solution for well being throughout your home.

Save money and protect your investment.

When your air conditioning evaporator coil is “clean,” it’s easier on the compressor. That means greater efficiency and lower utility costs. The UV lamp eliminates biological growth so there’s much less wear and tear on your cooling compressor, extending the life of your air conditioning equipment.

Unbeatable combination.

Together, an Aprilaire UV Germicidal Lamp and an Aprilaire Air Cleaner provide great protection against harmful airborne particles. Part of the Aprilaire Indoor Air Comfort System, the UV Lamp and Air Cleaner provide a powerful one-two punch to protect you from dangerous and irritating particles in your home.

While the UV Lamp kills the living bacteria, molds and fungi particles on the air conditioning coil, the Air Cleaner permanently traps them along with other irritants in the air that affect your indoor air comfort. An Aprilaire Air Cleaner quietly removes particles that can cause allergies and illnesses while it protects and improves the performance of your heating/cooling equipment. Maintenance is easy, too!

UV Germicidal Lamp The U.S. Government requires UV lamps above cooling coils to control microbial growth in government buildings. Now the average homeowner can apply the same safety measures in their own living spaces. Considering the well-reported dangers of mold and bacteria in the home, it just makes sense to attack these problems at the source. You can, with a dealer-installed Aprilaire UV Germicidal Lamp. Health Magazine “… for innumerable molds, fungi and bacteria, home sweet home is a series of drain pans in the ventilation system. If they aren’t kept clean, the biological agents can proliferate and then travel through the building on air currents.” ACHR News “Keeping coils sanitary – through cleaning and the application of chemicals and/or UV lights – is part of a system-wide approach, which can prevent spores from amplifying in the heating and air conditioning system.” Center for Disease Control “Common harmful molds can be found in air conditioning systems including Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium.” U.S. Standard for Government Buildings “Ultraviolet light (C band) emitters shall be incorporated downstream of all cooling coils and above all drain pans to control airborne and surface microbial growth and transfer.”
