If you own a home that has mold, or your having mold remediation services performed-or if you're in the mold remediation business-the obvious goal is to get rid of the existing mold and prevent and future regrowth or air pollution. Sometimes that's a lot easier said than done, though, and many times the mold starts coming back after a short time. While this is usually caused by a moisture source, a leak, etc that wasn't found or fixed, one thing you can do to sharply cut down on any chances of mold re-growing or repeated remediation visits is to use something that kills the mold spores and disables their ability to reproduce: that would be germicidal UV light air purification systems mounted in the air conditioner ducts.
UV light has been used for many years to sanitize just about everything from water to surfaces in the healthcare and medical industries, as well as labs and many other applications where complete disinfection is necessary. And putting these ultraviolet lights in air conditioners does much the same thing: provided that you do have lab-grade UV bulbs in the unit, these air cleaners cause any bacteria or mold that float by to be exposed to high levels of UV-C light rays, which destroys the cell structure of most bacteria and mold spores, and destroys their DNA, rendering them incapable of reproducing. So it would make sense that if you're trying to get rid of black mold or any other kind of mold to have something constantly killing any remaining mold spores that could be in the air after remediation treatments have been performed. Obviously making sure that any sources excess moisture sources have been removed is very important, but making sure any remaining mold spores are killed is an important step to making sure it doesn't come back.
For anyone in the mold remediation business, clearly your name and reputation is largely based on how well your remediation procedures work, so if you were to offer quality UV light air cleaners as an additional service, you would probably beat out your competitors since almost no one we've seen is offering this as an added step to preventing future mold growth. For anyone, however, home owner or mold remediation business owner, do make sure that the ultraviolet light air purifier systems you choose include true 36 watt lab-grade bulbs-lesser wattage bulbs simply don't work as well and you don't want to offer or install something that is going to do an inferior job of disinfecting the air.
And, you want at least two bulbs placed in the output section of the air conditioner duct, after the area where the air passed the coil. The coil of an air conditioner or HVAC system is a common breeding ground for mold and bacteria because it stays wet due to the natural condensation caused by the freon air cooling process, and that's why you want the UV light system on that side-so any mold spores or bacteria that are released as air blows across the coil area get exposed to the light rays and destroyed before they have a chance to be blown out into your home.
