Ultraviolet light technology helps filter bacteria and viruses from your home

A home UV filter is becoming an increasingly popular addition to residential heating and cooling systems because of its ability to filter bacteria and viruses from the air. While a home UV filter will not eliminate all impurities, it is another tool in the effort toward healthy living.

Robinson Heating & Cooling is a reputable area leader in residential and commercial heating and cooling, in addition to service, such as gas furnace repair. A lesser known but more recently sought-after service is helping to improve indoor air quality by providing home UV filter installation.

A home UV filter is the business component of a UV air purifier. These devices capture air and pass it through the filter, exposing it to ultraviolet light before releasing it back into the room.

Consider a home UV filter as a complement to a HEPA filter

The combination of cold temperatures in the winter, hot weather in the summer, and pandemic concerns for some is keeping many northeastern Wisconsin residents inside their homes. That means more of us than ever are breathing air that likely is not as clean as you would hope.

We recommend the addition of a home UV filter as a potential complement to high-efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) filters because they target separate impurities. While home UV filters are most effective against bacteria and viruses, HEPA filters target odors, gases and what are known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

A home UV filter is a relatively inexpensive and quiet option to improve the quality of air in your home. Our technicians will be happy to answer any questions you have about the differences in home air filter technology.
