UV-C (Germicidal) lamp radiation is a method of disinfecting air, water, and surfaces from infection and bacteria. Viruses (including the various strands of coronavirus) have been tested to respond to UV-C radiation processes and completely disinfect surfaces from them in as little as just a few seconds.  The Ultraviolet (UV) light within the lamp gives off a light that is unable to be seen by the human eye and effectively breaks down the DNA of microorganisms, eliminating their ability to replicate and cause disease. UV-C lamp technology is: Trusted. It’s been used for over 40 years. Effective. Every virus tested to date with the technology responds. Versatile. This can function in home, office, and public environments. Some lamps even emit a trace ozone to help eliminate odors. Fast. The technology eliminates bacteria within minutes—sometimes seconds. Replacing Your UV-C Lamps: Avoid Knockoffs It’s imperative to make sure the lamp you replace within the system is one that will be effective and will stand the test of time. Many knockoff brands do a funny thing of overpromising and under-delivering—boasting low price tags and guarantees that the lamp will last for 9,000 hours (1 year). But unfortunately, they often are not effective to last through that timespan, if they’re even fully effective from the beginning. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) germicidal lamps are developed directly by the manufacturer of the UV-C disinfection system itself, so it’s guaranteed that the lamp will be the right match for keeping the system running at optimal performance. Even though these are associated with a slightly higher price than the knockoffs, it’s not without reason. Not only do OEM UV lamps protect your overall system by being the best fit, but they’re rated to last between one to three years at full functionality. It’s very much worth it to pay for the slightly increased price of an OEM UV replacement lamp versus a knockoff version. Proper Germicidal UV Lamp Replacement Tips There are a few things to keep in mind when replacing UV-C lamps. Here are some pointers: It’s recommended that UV lamps should be replaced every 9,000 hours (approximately one year) for residential usage. It’s important to adhere to this schedule, especially if anyone in your household has respiratory conditions or sensitivities. If your UV-C lamp is used as a way to keep the coils clean on your HVAC system, you can stick to a two-year replacement schedule.  If you’re using a UV lamp after it’s been in use for three years, this can lead to excessive power consumption and overheating. In some cases, this contributes directly to system failure.  My UV Lamp Still Lights Up—Do I Need to Replace It? The part of the UV lamp that does the job of disinfecting the air, water, or surfaces from bacteria is actually invisible to the human eye due to the level of the ultraviolet radiation required to properly disinfect. So, the light blue glow from the filaments that we can see through the system viewport is simply a byproduct of the system and not a true reflection of its effectiveness.  The UV light energy that is put out by these lamps slowly diminishes to lower levels on the germicidal spectrum as time goes on. Simply put, sticking to the recommended schedule for the lamp and its location is always the best way to go.  Your Source for Reliable OEM UV Replacement Lamps HEPA Filter Sales is happy to offer OEM UV replacement lamps that we would trust to put inside of our homes and protect the ones we love from harmful bacteria.

Changing the filters in your air filtration or heating and cooling systems is one of the largest components to keeping a safe and clean home or office environment. Especially in today’s world, breathing clean air shouldn’t be taken lightly. Changing your air filters on schedule is particularly significant, but 1 out of every 5 people believe it’s not important to do.  The damage that can be caused by a lack of regular filter replacement reaches beyond just dirty air, and heavily into your wallet. Your HVAC system can suffer and require costly repairs if it’s frequently trying to operate with dirty air filters, and many people experience health problems due to breathing impure air in their homes or workplace. It’s not only imperative to replace your filters at the right times and frequencies, but with the right type: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) filters are a far better option than “knockoff” brands. The Differences Between OEM and Aftermarket Air Filters Unfortunately, there are a lot of “knockoff” brand air filters available to homeowners or business owners that claim to be the right match for your respective heating or cooling system and are advertised for a lower price than OEM filters. Why are these typically priced lower? The answer is simple: The quality and reliability of these filters are nowhere close to the ones that come from the manufacturer of the HVAC system altogether.  Here are a few ways these two categories of filters set themselves apart: Materials: Even though they may look the same, OEM air filters are typically made out of higher-quality materials due to the patents required for the manufacturer to produce their products. These materials are not always available for companies producing aftermarket filters.  Correct Fitting: By getting your replacement air filters from the company that also made the HVAC system they go to, you can be sure it will fit exactly the way it needs to. Without direct access to these systems, there’s a chance that the measurements on the filters from aftermarket filter companies could be incorrect and cause ineffectiveness of the filter.  Efficiency: With the filter company being the ones responsible for installing your heating and cooling system, they want their customers to be satisfied in the long-run with these appliances. Pairing them with low-efficiency filters can increase the cost and decrease the quality of the HVAC’s performance, so they are quick to provide high-efficiency filters that will save you money over time and keep their products running smoothly. Reliable Timeline: With an OEM filter that comes directly from the manufacturer of the HVAC system, you can be assured that the recommended replacement schedule and frequency that comes with the filter is accurate and specific for that specific furnace or air conditioning unit. Trusted Experience: With a brand that manufactures both HVAC systems and their respective filters, they’ve traditionally developed a trusted brand name in the market. A “knockoff” filter company might not have as deep of industry knowledge and experience, combining for an unrecognized and untried brand name. Isn’t “High-Efficiency” Always Best? Not necessarily. Some knockoff filters that are labeled as extremely high-efficiency can actually be dangerous to the health of your heating or cooling system. These can create an airflow restriction, leading to hidden damage to your system and premature repair or replacement costs. Again, the best option out there for your replacement filters is the one that comes directly from the manufacturer, as it’s designed to help the overall system perform exactly how it’s promised. In a World of Knockoffs, HEPA Filter Sales Emerged The growing problem of unqualified replacement filters on the market is actually one of the main reasons HEPA Filter Sales got started in 2006. After hearing horror story upon horror story regarding knockoff filters, we set out to be a trusted supplier of OEM filters for homeowners and business owners.
