Eliminate Spring Allergies with an Air Purifier

How an Air Purifier Can Help During Allergy Season

Allergies can be awful no matter what season they hit you, but spring allergies can often be the worst. Spring brings an onslaught of pollen along with the ever-present mold. Pet dander can worsen during the spring shedding season as well. When the irritants are not in the air, you know your allergy symptoms ease. Getting an air purification system from LIBERTYAIR air conditioning Gainesville for your home helps you get the allergens out of the air before they reach your nose.

In-Duct Air Purification

An in-duct air purification system stops allergens, such as pollen and mold, before the air leaves the ducts and vents in your home. A typical in-duct air purifier uses ultraviolet light to instantly kill mold and bacteria as air flows through the device. An ionization unit charges the allergen particles to help them stick to filter media. LIBERTYAIR, your professional Gainesville AC repair and installation experts, will install a system to meet your unique household needs.

How Ultraviolet Light Purifies Air

Ultraviolet light is used to kill mold, bacteria and viruses on surfaces, in water and in the air. There are ultraviolet filters to use on swimming pools, hot tubs and spas. Sunlight contains UV light, but the UVc wavelength is not concentrated enough at the earth’s surface to be germicidal. In-duct air purification equipment uses high intensity UVc light to kill bacteria, mold and viruses. The dead organic material is microscopic and rendered harmless by the light. Ionization charges particles, such as pollen and dust, to get them to stick to filter screens. This reduces their population in the air you breathe. Filters in an in-duct air purifier are usually metal, washable and reusable.
