Then turn it on every night before bed, and remember to clean or replace the filters as recommended.
I am glad you brought that up. I left it out of my response so that I would not sound like a commercial, but that is one of the product groups that i represent. And, near the end of my pneumonia summer, I installed a 5" merv8 high efficiency media filter and two of these
UV lights in my air handler and my wife and I are stunned at the difference it has made for us. We recently had guests that have stayed with us before and who suffer from allergies and they commented how "fresh" our air seemed, and this was before we told them about the improvements.
simonofsocal is spot on. Good advice.
Good Luck
