Trying to Decide Between a UV Lamp and an Air Purifier? - Southwood, FL, Homestead Ridge, FL & Tallahassee, FL

When it comes to home comfort, most people in the Tallahassee, Florida, area focus on managing heat and humidity. That’s certainly understandable, but it’s also essential to control your indoor air quality. Poor air quality is associated with numerous health risks, so maintaining clean air is vitally important. Two proven solutions for improving air quality are air purifiers and UV lamp systems, but which one’s right for you? Here’s what you need to know.

Air Purifier Basics

The primary cause of poor air quality is a complex mixture of particulate matter that becomes suspended in the air. An air purifier’s job is to remove this particulate matter, and it does its job extremely well. These systems use fans to pull in air and force it through advanced filters that efficiently strip out foreign materials. True HEPA purifiers can remove more than 99.97 percent of particles from the air they treat.

The Lowdown on Ultraviolet Lamps

Considering Tallahassee’s frequently hot and humid climate, it’s no surprise that organic growth can be a real problem. The climate can also exacerbate issues with other microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria. UV lamps address this issue by using ultraviolet light to kill or neutralize microorganisms in the air. This can disrupt the spread of microbes and reduce the risk of other biological contaminants in your home.

Choosing the Right Solution

The appropriate air quality solution for your home depends on your particular needs. Ultraviolet lamps are especially useful if you have problems with humidity or someone in your home has certain allergies. However, they may not remedy every air quality issue on their own. For other allergy problems, or if your home has high particulate matter levels, an air purification system may be ideal. Of course, an air quality specialist can help you assess your home and identify the most effective solution.
