Summer is almost here, and for many of us it means two things – air conditioning and allergies.  Unfortunately, your air conditioner can make your allergies even worse.  Why?  Because it’s the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold and fungi. It’s true – and even though you might not be able to see it, touch it or smell it, these harmful growths affect your family’s breathing and health every day.  

If your home is like most, these unwelcome visitors that breed and filter through your home’s HVAC system are a direct cause of illness, odor and, bothersome allergies.  In fact, according to the America College of Allergists, 50% of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. 

Luckily, there is a simple solution.  It’s a specially designed germicidal ultraviolet (UV) lighting system offered by Cole Services.  Installed directly in the ductwork directly above your air conditioner’s evaporator coil, germicidal UV lighting will kill and control harmful growths at the source, and the dangerous affects that come along with them. 

Why is UV lighting so effective?   Because it’s a solution straight from Mother Nature herself.  UV energy from the sun is nature’s way of cleansing outdoor air and inhibiting the growth of germs and bacteria.  For many years, UV germicidal lights have been used indoors – from hospitals and labs to office buildings and homes – as a trusted purifying source. 

But that’s not all.  UV lighting can also save you money.  Why?  Because a clean HVAC system runs smoother.  This means much greater efficiency – and a potentially big cut in your home’s energy costs.
