UVC is a type of ultraviolet (UV) energy in the 260-nanometer frequency. The "C" wavelength is the most germicidal in the UV spectrum.

First and Best in "UVC for HVAC™"

The solution is Steril-Aire's multi-patented UVC Emitters™. These safe yet powerful UVC lights work within your existing heating and air conditioning system to kill both surface and airborne microorganisms and prevent the spread of infectious diseases caused by viruses and bacteria.

In addition to the health benefits, they also save money by reducing HVAC energy costs and eliminating the need for costly coil cleaning programs. Steril-Aire germicidal UV lamps are the best equipment in IAQ technology today.

Steril-Aire's UVC Emitters™ improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and eliminate mould, bacteria and other contaminants in schools, commercial buildings, health care facilities, food processing plants and homes.

•	Kills or inactivates surface and airborne microorganisms that trigger allergy-asthma symptoms -- including mould and mould spores, solvents and other VOCs. Also eliminates associated odours.
•	Prevents the spread of infectious diseases caused by bacteria (including TB, Legionella, E. coli, and whooping cough) and viruses (including colds, flu, measles, German measles, chicken pox, small pox and SARS ).
•	Continuously cleans coils, drain pans, plenums and ducts, reducing or eliminating costly cleaning programs and the use of harmful chemicals and disinfectants.
•	Lowers HVAC energy costs by improving heat transfer and increasing net cooling capacity.
•	Improves general IAQ for better productivity and less absenteeism.
•	Produces no ozone or secondary contaminants -- will not harm building occupants, equipment or furnishings.
•	Improves product quality, shelf life and yield in processing plants.
•	Rapidly pays for itself in maintenance and energy savings.

How does it affect germs?

The "C" wavelength targets the DNA of microorganisms, causing cell death or making replication impossible. The UVC energy kills or inactivates microbes, eradicating surface and airborne mould, as well as viruses and bacteria.

Can UVC save energy?

Yes. Steril-Aire devices degrade organic buildup in coils, keeping coils continuously clean. This lowers HVAC energy costs by improving heat transfer and increasing net cooling capacity. Steril-Aire has a Life Cycle Cost program that provides an excellent way to predict energy and operational savings.

Will UVC kill mould in ducts?

Yes, applying UVC at the coil dramatically reduces the overall activity in the rest of the A/C system as well as the space. There is scientific evidence of this by Dr.'s Richard Shaughnessy and Estelle Leviten, Tulsa University.

How will I save money with UVC?

In commercial, industrial or institutional buildings, a Steril-Aire UVC installation offers the most rapid payback in the industry. A typical installation can pay for itself in a few months and save thousands of dollars thereafter in energy and maintenance costs. This is possible because the devices continually clean coils, drain pans, plenums and ducts, reducing or eliminating costly cleaning programs. HVAC energy costs are lowered by improving heat transfer and increasing net cooling capacity. General IAQ is improved for better productivity and less absenteeism. Product quality, shelf life and yield in processing plants are improved as well.
