Germicidal UV Light Systems in Longmont, CO

Ultraviolet light has been used for a multitude of purposes since the discovery of its medical application in 1903. UV light is referred to as “germicidal”, which means it kills and removes all potency from pathogens in the air, in water, and on surfaces. Outdoors, the sun provides natural UV light to moderate germs. Indoors however, germs are free from these ultraviolet rays, and have more chances to propagate and negatively affect your health. Germicidal UV lights reintroduce ultraviolet into your home and HVAC system, ensuring the air you breath is free from harmful germs.

Scientifically Proven Effectiveness.

A 2012 study by researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina treated 50 different hospital rooms with UV light, and found it to be nearly 98 percent effective at removing bacteria.1

In 2000, researchers from The University of Tulsa measured fungal growth on the interior of an office building’s air handling units. They found that after 4 months of treatment, fungal levels had drastically decreased.2
