The lights are used to kill mold and bacteria before it even enters your living space as the air is blown through the vents.<\/p>\n<p>UV lights are a great solution to keep mold from growing on the coil of your HVAC unit. If that&#8217;s the only indoor air quality issue you&#8217;re trying to resolve, then UV light is the right choice for you. If you want a whole-house air filter, the air scrubbers would be the better choice.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of Ultraviolet Lights<\/h2>\n<p>Ultraviolet germicidal air irradiation systems (UVGI) can clear your air without causing skyrocketing energy bills. While UV light has been used as a disinfectant for over a hundred years, a modern UV light installation can address more pollutants than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Upper room UVGI systems gradually introduce clean air into your space, so they&#8217;re particularly important in crowded rooms or unventilated environments. Their capacity to address pollutants makes them a favorite option for commercial kitchens.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re careful about UV light maintenance, your system will even extend the life of your HVAC unit.<\/p>\n<style>\n        @media only screen and (max-width: 767px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/m-in-content-CTA.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/sidebar-cta@2x.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n        @media only screen and (min-width: 1025px){\n            .cta_banner{  \n                background-image: url(https:\/\/fhfurrblogs.jdmps.com\/richmond-va-area\/wp-content\/themes\/bc-fh-furr\/img\/sidebar-cta.jpg);\n                background-size: cover;\n                background-repeat: no-repeat;\n                background-position: center center !important;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style><div class=\"cta_box cta_banner py-4 py-lg-3 border_radius_10 mb-4 border-radius_10\">\n         <div class=\"px-md-3 py-lg-3 my-lg-1 py-1 my-1 row justify-content-between text-area align-items-center m-0 w-100\">\n            <div class=\"col-xl-9 col-md-9 col-lg-8 text-center ml-auto pl-lg-0 pl-5 mt-1\">\n              <div class=\"pl-md-0 pl-4\">\n              <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"_scheduler.show();\">\n              <span class=\"mb-lg-1 mb-0 d-block bc_text_40 bc_line_height_40 bc_text_bold bc_font_default bc_sm_text_25 bc_sm_line_height_25\">Book Online Now-<\/span>\n              <\/a>\n              <a href=\"tel:(555) 555-5555\" name=\"sheduleservices\" class=\"d-block text-decoration-none\">\n              <span class=\"bc_text_normal bc_font_default\" > \n                      (555) 555-5555\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h2>Air Scrubbers<\/h2>\n<p>An air scrubber is an indoor air quality device that uses a search-and-retrieve method to eliminate contaminants from your home&#8217;s air. As the air flows through your ductwork system, the air scrubber produces negative ions.<\/p>\n<p>The negative ions find and bring back pollutants floating in your air that are too small to be captured by a normal air filter.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of Air Scrubbers<\/h2>\n<p>Air scrubbers attach to your ductwork directly and can reduce 90% of your home&#8217;s airborne pathogens, including swine flu, E. coli, and MRSA. They can:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Extend your HVAC system&#8217;s life span by preventing debris and dust from entering your HVAC filter. This will protect your coils from damage and keep your blower functioning smoothly.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Reduce dust, pollen, and other allergens. An air scrubber can alleviate allergy and asthma symptoms.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Remove lingering odors like chemical scents, burnt food, and mildew.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Kill SARS-CoV-2 particles at a surface kill rate of 99.98%.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate 50 times more contaminants than HVAC systems.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Address volatile organic compounds and particulate matter, including vapors and smoke.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Prevent dust buildup in your home.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Choose F.H.
