Air Quality

Microorganisms such as mold, bacteria, and fungi, can easily be circulated through your home thanks to your heating and air systems, especially if you have an energy efficient system relying on controlled air exchange. When these pollutants are present in the air, respiratory problems and allergies can become much more severe.

UV light systems provide an excellent solution to this problem by focusing ultra violet light within your system, where these organisms would typically grow. These systems can actually improve the efficiency of your system by reducing the clogs and build-up of these contaminants.

Berner A/C & Heat provides indoor air quality assessments for customers throughout metro New Orleans and the Northshore. In situations where your A/C system is contributing to mold, mildew or dust accumulation throughout the home, we may recommend a UV light filtration system made by REEM. The unit can keep the air fresher and cleaner, and have a significant impact on respiratory problems including asthma and allergies.

All throughout Louisiana, our homes and office buildings experience high levels of viruses and bacteria that are airborne and circulated throughout the home by your heating and cooling system. In fact, studies indicate that indoor air is often significantly more polluted than the outdoor air. This is often a result of an A/C system needing to be operated in a sealed environment, where the doors and windows remain closed nearly year-round. Essentially, it can offer the ideal breeding ground for many harmful contaminants including mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses and others.

The position of a UV light system can be placed in the return air ducts, the air conditioner plenum, or the supply ducts that move the freshly cooled air from the A/C unit into the home. In many cases, this means that the installation of a UV light system can be made without any major changes to your system, and will instantly improve the quality of air.
