UVC Germicidal Fixtures
increase the value of all air conditioning and air-circulating systems by:
- Maximizing system
efficiency - Energy Savings
- Prolonging blower life
- Providing
healthier air to breathe
Treating air that passes through an HVAC unit with ultraviolet
light will reduce, or eliminate, DNA-based airborne contaminants (bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeast, protozoa), and provide
much healthier air to breathe. UVC Germicidal Fixtures are a labor-free solution that will not harm occupants, equipment or
furnishings because they produce no ozone or secondary contaminants. For more than 70 years, tens of thousands
have been safely installed in hospitals, clinics, processing plants, commercial offices, manufacturing sites and other commercial
facilities and multi-and single-family residences around the world.

Filters and Coil Cleaning
Filters are necessary to trap dust, pollen and other
particles, however, to remove harmful bacteria and viruses from the air stream you need the addition of UVC light to render
these microorganisms sterile, and therefore unable to reproduce.
Cleaning coils is like
treating symptoms. Using UVC Germicidal Fixtures from American Ultraviolet Company, on the other hand, is actually more like
curing the disease.
Without UVC, coils require constant cleaning, an expensive and inferior
process that often relies on toxic and/or flammable solvents that are dangerous, and that can diminish the life of the coil.
Cleaning also frequently leaves material embedded in the center of the fin pack. Steam cleaning, in particular, can actually
force growth deeper into the fin pack, compressing it so tightly that the only solution could be to replace the coil.

Financial Benefits
UVC Germicidal Fixtures keep coils clean all of the time, enabling
HVAC systems to perform as originally intended, and ensuring:
- System efficiency
- Longer equipment life
- Lower energy and maintenance costs
They'll often pay for themselves in months and can help you save many thousands of dollars in on-going energy and
maintenance costs. In addition, UVC Germicidal Fixtures play a very important role in improving air quality and will eliminate
the awful odor and slimy build up associated with mold and bacteria that thrive when temperatures are between 50-100F (especially
when moisture is present), and that make air unhealthy for all building and residential occupants. Healthier employees mean
better productivity and less sick time.
