Indoor air quality has a direct impact on your family’s health and comfort. While standard air filters capture dust and dirt, they only target about one-third of the pollutants found in a typical home. The other two major categories—biological contaminants and chemical pollutants—require more advanced solutions.
At ServiceOne Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we install professional UV air purification systems in Dubuque that go beyond basic filtration. With advanced UVC technology, you can enjoy cleaner, fresher, and healthier indoor air year-round.
Standard filters vs. UVC technology
Filters are effective at trapping particulates such as dust, smoke, and liquid droplets, but they do little against bacteria, viruses, mold, or chemical vapors. UVC energy inactivates biological contaminants by disrupting their DNA, rendering them harmless.
Biological contaminant control
UVC light neutralizes viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and fungi as air circulates through your HVAC system. By reducing these microbes, UV purification lowers the risk of illness and helps keep your system cleaner.
Chemical pollutant reduction
When combined with Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO), UVC light breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—the chemical pollutants often responsible for household odors. This process transforms VOCs into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide, improving your home’s air quality.
Choosing a UV air purifier comes with several long-term advantages for your home:
By combining particle filtration with UVC and carbon-based technology, UV systems target multiple pollutant sources at once, giving your family a healthier living space.
For best performance, UV lamps should be replaced every 12 months. While some lamps last up to a year, annual replacement ensures consistent protection. Many homeowners also choose to run their HVAC system in “fan” mode, even when heating or cooling is off, to keep air circulating through the purifier.
UV systems are completely safe when installed within your central HVAC system. The germ-killing effect is confined to the ducts, with no exposure risk to people, pets, or plants. The only safety precaution is to avoid direct eye contact with a lit UV lamp.
We install advanced systems such as the Patriot Carbon UV Air Purifier, which combines UVC light with activated carbon cells. This dual technology creates a powerful photocatalytic reaction to neutralize VOCs, bacteria, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants.
The carbon filter also traps particles like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. Once captured, the UVC light neutralizes microbes so only clean, purified air is released back into your home.
