Most people spend the majority of their time inside their homes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns that the air inside your home may be up to five times more polluted than outside air. The EPA has listed indoor air quality (IAQ) as one of the top five environmental health risks today!

Microscopic mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses linger in the air leading to allergies, asthma, respiratory disease and infection. These unseen biohazards can live and breed within your air conditioning system’s moist environment, encouraging these micro-organisms to breed, multiply and grow. Once airborne these unseen particles can pose a serious health threat.

Micro-organisms that travel through your indoor air can get trapped in the moist environment of your air conditioning system. Bacteria can then breed and spread throughout your home.

The Fresh-Aire UV Filter system filter attacks and sterilizes micro-organisms where they live and breed in your air conditioning system. The system filters and purifies the air that moves through your home, improving the quality of the air you breathe.

At present, germicidal ultraviolet light (UV), when properly integrated into a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, is an effective method for preventing indoor air contamination from spreading throughout your home.

UVC Light
Ultraviolet light is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies beyond the “purple” edge of the visible spectrum and has wavelengths between 100 and 400 nm.
The UVA range causes “sun tanning” in the human skin. The UVB range causes “sun burning”. The UVC range is dangerous to human skin but is also the range that is most effective in controling airborne bacteria and viruses.
The “germicidal range” of the UV spectrum is approximately 200 – 300 nm, with a peak germicidal effectiveness at 254 nm.
