The Science Behind GermBlast: Why 253.4nm UV-C Light Works

When it comes to indoor air quality, your air conditioner does more than cool your home; it can also harbor harmful microbes. Dust, moisture, and organic matter trapped in AC coils create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and viruses. That’s why we created GermBlast, a smarter, science-backed AC cleaning service that goes beyond surface-level cleaning.

So, what makes GermBlast different? It’s the precision of our approach. GermBlast harnesses the power of UV-C light at a wavelength of 253.4 nanometres, known for its proven germicidal properties.

The Science of UV-C: Why Wavelength Matters

Ultraviolet (UV) light comes in three types: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Of these, UV-C is the most effective at killing microorganisms. At this specific wavelength, UV-C light penetrates the DNA and RNA of viruses, bacteria, and mold spores, disrupting their ability to replicate. In other words, it neutralizes them at the source.

Studies have shown that UV-C at 253.4nm achieves up to 99.99% disinfection efficiency against common airborne pathogens, including E. coli, influenza viruses, and coronaviruses. That’s why hospitals, labs, and cleanrooms have used this wavelength for decades and now, it’s available in your home through Fixlaa’s GermBlast service.

Why GermBlast Is More Than Just UV

While UV-C light does the sanitizing, GermBlast starts with a deep foam cleaning of the AC coils. Here’s why that’s essential:

  • Removes Buildup: Dust, oil, and grime are cleared away to restore cooling efficiency and eliminate microbial hotspots.
  • Maximizes UV-C Effectiveness: Clean coils allow better light penetration across surfaces.
  • Improves Airflow & Energy Use: Cleaner systems mean smoother operation and lower energy bills.

By combining mechanical cleaning with UV-C disinfection, GermBlast delivers a one-two punch that cleans, disinfects, and boosts your AC’s performance.

Is UV-C Safe?

The answer: yes, when used correctly and professionally.

Though direct exposure to UV-C can be harmful to skin and eyes, GermBlast uses a sealed, technician-operated system that targets only the internal surfaces of your AC unit. There’s zero exposure to people, pets, or belongings, and no residues, vapors, or allergens left behind. Your AC is safe to use immediately after treatment.

Why Choose GermBlast for Your AC?

  • Scientifically validated 253.4nm UV-C technology
  • Powerful coil foam cleaning
  • Reduces airborne microbes and allergens
  • Enhances cooling efficiency
  • Professional, affordable, and hassle-free service

Whether you live in Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, or anywhere else with tropical heat and high humidity, AC hygiene is not optional, it’s essential. And with GermBlast, it’s easier than ever.
