UV Lighting

UV Lighting: What You Might Not Know

If you spent some time in a haunted house, laser tag arena, or in the bedroom of your coolest cousin, you’ve probably come across a black light. They emit a surreal purple glow that makes certain colors seem to pop like magic. They’re called UV lights, so seeing them offered by a home service company like WireNut might come off as strange.

No, we’re not aiming to turn Colorado Springs into one big amusement park – that’s a definite perk, but it’s not our end goal. What we want to do is use our specialized UV lighting to purify your home with near-medical-grade sanitation. And what we offer is far more effective than what you can get at your local Spencer’s Gifts. 

Types of UV Light

UV light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum closest to the purple part of visible light. This is separated into sections ranging from visible light to germicidal. Blacklight is considered part of the UV-A region, and the fixtures it’s built into are designed to eliminate a majority of the risk that comes from UVA exposure.

When looking to disinfect, it’s best to work with something closer to the UV-C range, which is considered the most germicidal. It’s the same type of UV lighting that scientists have used to clean the air and surfaces around their lab for over a century.

At WireNut, we can install this level of light into your current air delivery system, allowing you to take advantage of its benefits while staying safe.

Benefits of UV Lights in the Home

The biggest perk to installing UV lighting into your air system is that it ensures your home is free of any biological growth. This can keep away the strange musty smells that come from mold and other germs while improving your indoor air quality as a whole.

Bad air quality can cause a lot of problems before you might notice it. You may be experiencing symptoms typical to allergies or asthma, or suffering from a generally weakened immune system and not know why. If nothing else has helped, the answer might be as simple as spores or other growths irritating your respiratory system. 

Time and Money 

Installing UV lighting is one small investment that can greatly improve the lifespan of your HVAC system. As it eliminates the unwanted organisms around your house, it’s doing the same to the ductwork in your system. Because of this, your system’s air filter is less likely to be clogged, and all you have to do is keep up with some basic maintenance to make sure it’s running smoothly.
