When was the Last Time you Checked HVAC Coils for Mold & Bacteria
Conservation Solutions Corp®
Mechanical cleaning of coils every 6 months is not effective so Healthcare facilities need solutions to control bacteria, mold and viruses including Covid-19 in HVAC systems 24/7. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are a CDC approved technology to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), reduce Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and associated liability costs. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are backed by a 2 ½ year peer reviewed ASHRAE study of 6 NE hospitals. Not All UVC Systems are the same.
