About UV Light Air Purifier
UV air purifiers have several advantages. When used alongside a HEPA filter, they can make a noticeable difference to the air quality in your home. These purifiers use a filter to trap indoor pollutants, including viruses, bacteria, dust mites, and animal dander if you have pets. Then the radiation does its work. A high dose of UV light can inactivate the microscopic organisms that cause a number of discomforts and illnesses, including colds and influenza, even COVID-19.

Clean Air Technology
What is a UV Light Air Purifier?
A UV light air purifier is a device that uses short-wave ultraviolet (UV-C) light to inactivate airborne pathogens and microscopic organisms. As germs like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores pass through the system, the UV light disrupts them, preventing these indoor pollutants from contaminating your home's air and keeping your family safe.
- Better Indoor Air Quality.
- Actively neutralizes germs, viruses, and bacteria to provide healthier air throughout your home.
- Low Maintenance.
- Requires less frequent cleaning than many traditional systems, offering a simple "set it and forget it" solution.
- Modern Technology.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest in-home air purification to ensure the cleanest possible environment.
How it works
How do UV Light Air Purifiers Work?
Air passing through your home ventilation system is exposed to short-wave ultraviolet (UV-C) light. Any airborne germs like mold, bacteria, or viruses, are inactivated by the light – essentially, they are killed with a sunburn. Because of their size, the levels of UV light required are far less than the amount that would harm a human.
The technology is called UV germicidal irradiation or UVGI air purifiers. These devices can connect to preexisting residential or commercial HVAC units. When air moves through the device, it passes the UV lamps, which disinfect the air through germicidal irradiation. The air is then filtered before going back into the room.
These purifiers work best when used in conjunction with a filter, such as a HEPA, as part of an air cleaning system. If you’re unsure about what is currently in your furnace, or you would like to upgrade your existing system, ask the experts at Lynn’s about your options.

Testimonials
See What our Customers are Saying
“Dallas installed my central air unit 10-11 years ago at the recommendation of a friend. Since then the Lynn's team has helped me numerous times with drain services, plumbing service Winnipeg and most recently a new furnace and hot water tank. This has been a cold winter and my old furnace wouldn't have cut it. New furnace, no problem. I feel like they actually care and that's important to me. Would reccomend them to anyone.”
“Absolutely fantastic to work with. I had called half a dozen places when the sump pump failed during some heavy rain, most didn't even bother calling back. Even though they were getting slammed Dallas kept in touch and kept me aware of when to expect him. After arriving he had our sump pump swapped out in short order with a replacement up and running, no messing around. I will be calling on them again in the future should the need arise.”
“I called on Saturday morning and booked for Monday morning. The company called by 8am to let me know the techs were on their way. The techs were knowledgeable and friendly. The only negative was that although I had advised of a small access the machine was too big and they had to go pick up a smaller machine. Otherwise they cleaned up and I have plumbing again.”
