Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of energy known as electromagnetic radiation. It comes from the sun and man-made sources. UV light is not visible to the human eye because it has a wavelength shorter than the light we can see.\u00a0Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation is a method that uses a type of UV light\u00a0\u2014\u00a0UVC light\u00a0\u2014\u00a0to kill a range of germs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Within\u00a0the visible light spectrum, violet has the shortest wavelength of any color. Any light with a shorter wavelength than violet is called ultraviolet. There are three types of UV light:<\/p>\n While all forms of UV light can\u00a0inactivate various microorganisms on some level, UVC light is the most effective at killing germs, including viruses like the one that causes COVID-19. That’s why home or\u00a0business\u00a0owners may consider installing UV germicidal lights in their heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)\u00a0systems. These lights kill virus\u00a0particles\u00a0that would otherwise pass through air filters<\/a>.<\/p>\n UV germicidal lights inactivate viruses by damaging their genetic material and preventing them from replication. A virus needs its DNA or RNA to infect other living cells. Without\u00a0this material, it cannot invade a human cell and make copies of itself. UVC light\u00a0has been used for decades<\/a>\u00a0to destroy viruses and disinfect surfaces, air and water.<\/p>\n Although there are currently no studies that prove UV germicidal lights can kill the\u00a0coronavirus, scientists say it’s likely.\u00a0UVC is known to\u00a0destroy\u00a0viruses<\/a>\u00a0related to SARS-CoV-2, or the virus that causes COVID-19. This also includes the virus that causes MERS.<\/p>\n UV germicidal lights can also destroy bacteria and mold. Although\u00a0tiny particles like viruses and bacteria are\u00a0more vulnerable to UVC light than large ones, germicidal lamps still have the power to kill mold spores. UVC light is especially effective when it’s combined with high-efficiency air filtration.<\/p>\n UV germicidal lights can be installed inside your HVAC system.\u00a0These\u00a0lights can help clean the air inside your home by killing harmful microorganisms\u00a0such as mold spores, bacteria and viruses.\u00a0At OASIS Heating, A\/C & Refrigeration, Inc., we can install a UV\u00a0germicidal light\u00a0inside\u00a0your\u00a0HVAC ductwork or air handler,\u00a0which will keep these organisms from spreading throughout your home.<\/p>\n Even if you have\u00a0efficient air filters\u00a0installed\u00a0in your HVAC\u00a0system \u2014 whether it is an electronic or mechanical air\u00a0filter\u00a0\u2014\u00a0they\u00a0are not designed to kill bacteria,\u00a0viruses\u00a0and other microorganisms.\u00a0Filters\u00a0can provide ultimate protection\u00a0when installed alongside a\u00a0UV germicidal\u00a0light<\/a>.<\/p>\n We can help\u00a0you\u00a0select the\u00a0right combination\u00a0to\u00a0improve\u00a0your\u00a0indoor air quality and potentially reduce\u00a0exposure to viruses, bacteria and allergens.
