The Magic of a UV Air Purifier

Monday, January 27th, 2025

Air purifiers are something that many of our customers have heard about, but aren’t intimately familiar with. These systems can treat your indoor air in many ways–and one of those ways is by removing mold and mildew.

It’s not a special type of filter that traps contaminants though. A UV air purifier uses special ultraviolet light to irradiate the contaminants that would seek to infect you (like mold and viruses) and eliminate them.
