When installed in your HVAC system, UV lights work continuously to neutralize harmful microorganisms before they can circulate through your home. This technology is especially valuable in Des Moines, where our cold winters mean spending more time indoors breathing recirculated air.

Many Des Moines homeowners are surprised to learn that indoor air is typically 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. While standard filters can trap dust and larger particles, they can’t stop microscopic organisms like bacteria and viruses. That’s where UV purification makes a real difference.

The Impact on Your Family’s Health

Installing a UV purification system can transform your home’s air quality in ways you might not expect. Des Moines families who invest in UV light disinfection often notice fewer illnesses spreading through their household, especially during cold and flu season. Parents frequently report that their children’s allergy symptoms improve, and many homeowners are pleased to discover that those persistent musty odors from their HVAC system disappear entirely.

Unlike traditional air filters that simply trap contaminants, UV purification systems actively destroy harmful microorganisms at a cellular level. When we install a UV light system in your ductwork, it creates a “kill zone” airborne pathogens must pass through. The process is completely silent and invisible, yet incredibly effective at sanitizing your home’s air.

Think of it as having a small piece of sunlight working inside your HVAC system. Just as the sun’s natural UV rays help sanitize outdoor air, your HVAC UV light system provides continuous protection inside your home. The best part? It works automatically, requiring no effort on your part once installed.

Adding UV purification to your home is simpler than you might think. Our process starts with a thorough evaluation of your existing HVAC system. We’ll look at your ductwork layout, air handler location, and overall system design to determine the optimal placement for your UV lights. Most installations take just a few hours to complete, and we position everything for both maximum effectiveness and easy maintenance access.

Will Installing a UV Filter Affect My HVAC System?

We’re often asked whether installing UV lights will affect the regular operation of heating and cooling systems. The answer is no – UV purification works independently of your HVAC system’s normal functions. You won’t notice any change in airflow or system performance; you’ll just enjoy cleaner, healthier air.

One of the aspects our customers appreciate most about UV purification is its simplicity. These systems require very little attention to keep working effectively. The UV lamps typically need replacement once a year to maintain optimal performance, which we can easily handle during your regular HVAC maintenance visit. Beyond that, there’s virtually nothing else you need to do – the system works silently in the background, protecting your family day and night.
