The Benefits of a UV Air Purifier

How is that you can up against allergy and cold-like symptoms all day long inside your own home, but venture almost anywhere else and feel like a new person? Bad luck? Not hardly. And while there’s more than one possible explanation, the most likely is that you have contaminated indoor air that’s literally making you sick and tired…all the time.

There are numerous ways to clean your air, including a healthy selection of self-help remedies. Here at Messmer Mechanical, we offer several whole-house indoor air quality solutions, one of which we’d like to tell you a little more about.

They’re called Ultra violet (UV) air purifiers, a different kind of air cleaner than those you might be more familiar with. Take a whole-house air purifier, just as one example. Once installed inside your ductwork, the filter inside your purifier stands ready to catch and trap up to and beyond 99% of all airborne contaminants that attempt to pass through it.

UV air purifiers work a little differently. Instead of lying in wait, as it were, the rays from their UV lamps venture forth to seek and destroy the DNA of airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi. That renders them harmless, and that means major relief for you and any other family members who just don’t feel right inside your own home.

At the same time, it’s important to remember that neither UV lamps or any other home air purifier is a cure for what ails you. They’re job – and one they’re very good at – is to remove the source of what ails you so, at the least, you’ll feel a whole lot better inside your own home and skin.

UV air purifiers are also champs in removing the following:

• Musty odors
• Pet odors
• Smoke by-products
• Pollen spores
• Construction byproducts, including from new carpets, hardwood floors, cabinetry, and more
• Fumes from household cleaning products
