In the current times, it is difficult to avoid polluted air and harmful pathogens that are in the air. Even being only inside our houses does not eliminate the problem as we need air from the outside for ventilation. However, we can in many ways purify the air we breathe in our homes in many ways. 

You must think that conditioning the air in your house with an AC is enough to put those harmful pathogens away. But you have to believe that it is not as clear as you think. In these cases, installing a UVGI system can help clean your air in your houses. We will know about this system in detail in this article. 

What Is A UVGI Lamp Or System? 

UVGI or Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation system is an electromagnetic radiation system that absorbs or kills microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and mold. It uses ultraviolet or UVC lights to prevent pathogens from replicating or propagating naturally. The use of this non-chemical technology has been one of the most accepted methods of air disinfection. 

Why Do You Need A UVC Lamp?

If you have an HVAC application in your home, you should install a UVC lamp. Some of the most common and important reason to install UVCs is as follows:

• Poor IAQ 

First of all, conditioning the air circulates the pathogens or microbes more because of poor ventilation. This affects the indoor air quality or IAQ negatively. Hence, installing a UVGI system can bring the situation under control.  

• Hospital Usage

These systems are mainly used in hospitals for fresh air circulation. Additionally, several patients with different diseases enter the hospital. In this case, the UVC lamp tries to control the air pathogens.  

• Fight Against Coronavirus

In the current times of coronavirus pandemic, the demand for UVC lamps has increased. The virus is known to have been air-borne. So, to keep yourself and your family safe from it, you need a UVGI lamp.  

• Reduction Of Biofilm

Another reason to install the system is the accumulation of biofilm. This is a source of an unpleasant odor that can have harmful effects on your health. The bad smell of biofilm can lead to headaches, tears, or allergic reactions. It also damages the air conditioning system and blocks the airflow. Changing the coil only removes the biofilm on the surface, but fails to reach the build-up underneath the machine.
