Do you know why the air in your home is so much worse than the air outside? In addition to factors like concentrated dust, dander, and odors, homes often contain significantly higher concentrations of airborne microbes like viruses, bacteria, pollen, mold, mildew, and so much more. These microscopic even cellular-sized organisms can be extremely detrimental to your health, causing everything from allergies and asthma to illnesses, some of which can be serious. Unlike many other types of airborne contaminants, these tiny organisms are actually small enough to fit through the gaps in your air filter, meaning they will spread throughout your home continuously through the air flowing in your air ducts.
At Hi-Tech Plumbing & Air, we know how frustrating poor-quality air can be, especially if you or someone in your home suffers from a compromised immune system, allergies, asthma, or a respiratory condition. That’s why we’re extremely proud to offer comprehensive installations of effective and high-quality UV air scrubber lamps. UV air scrubbers offer superior air cleaning by targeting the smallest of microbes, neutralizing them quickly and rendering them harmless and inert so they can’t continue to spread throughout your home. We recommend these systems for everyone, as they are affordable, easy to maintain, and require very little extra energy while dramatically improving your overall indoor air quality within as little as a few short hours.

UV air scrubbers are great because they don’t target just one type of air contaminant, but rather they target everything that is affected by UV light. That means virtually any type of microbe, germ, or other microscopic organisms will be eliminated by this one simple upgrade to your HVAC system. UV air scrubber lamps can be installed in almost any HVAC system, meaning both older and newer systems could benefit from their presence.
A UV air scrubber is an extremely simple device: no moving parts, no complex principles or miracle technology, and a fairly simple installation when performed by an HVAC professional. An air scrubber is a small lamp that has a special bulb that emits ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light, or UV light, is a particularly harsh variety of light that’s invisible to the human eye but can do a lot of damage to cellular-level organisms. In a way, UV light is sort of like nature’s disinfectant, and it’s why you don’t see things like mold or algae growing in direct sunlight.
The air scrubber lamp is mounted inside your air return vent, allowing the specialized lamp to blast all of the air coming through your return duct with this radiation. Any bacteria or other microbes in the air that re-enters your HVAC system will be exposed to this radiation, where they are typically neutralized within as little as just a few seconds. Neutralized organisms either die instantly or have their DNA scrambled, preventing them from reproducing.
