Top 10 Benefits of Using UV Lights for a Cleaner, Healthier Business Environment

As commercial businesses in Kansas City, Overland Park, Leawood, Lenexa, Olathe and across the metro begin bringing employees back to the workplace and welcoming guests through their doors, sanitation and safety are top of mind. If you are a business owner looking for state of the art technologies to improve indoor air quality for the office building, retail shop, restaurant, warehouse and more, UV germicidal lights are just one more safeguard to ensure a cleaner, safer environment during and after the coronavirus pandemic.

Ultraviolet light systems have been in use since the 1950s for sterilizing air, purifying water, and today are widely used in healthcare facilities for disinfection. Using safe, maximum-intensity ultraviolet light, commercial germicidal UV lights destroy surface and airborne particles by damaging the cell DNA of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses before they can spread throughout the indoor space.

Top Notch carries two of the HVAC industry’s best UV germicidal lights for commercial use – Lennox Healthy Climate® Germicidal Light (reduces concentration of airborne microorganisms by 50% in just 45 minutes) and Air Scrubber by Aerus (NASA ActivePure® Certified Space Technology™ that destroys 99% of airborne and surface contaminants). Top features include:

  1. Protection against illness-causing germs, bacteria and viruses, including colds, flu and possibly even SARS-CoV-2 (although so novel that tests aren’t conclusive just yet).
  2. Sterilized surfaces and business equipment.
  3. Cleaner indoor air free of dust, mold, mildew, allergens, biological contaminants and asthma triggers.
  4. Decreased respiratory issues.
  5. Improved productivity and less sick days.
  6. Reduction of indoor odors.
  7. Healthier HVAC equipment – clean systems run more efficiently, reducing overall operating costs.
  8. Purification of indoor air without producing harmful ozone.
  9. Continuous sterilization and air purification even when HVAC system is not operating.
  10. Easy to use, easy to install with existing HVAC equipment and/or ductwork, and more affordable than you might think! Portable UV lights are also available.
