Dear Solar, This is true especially with a Honeywell...which probably means it's a home unit. However, there are units made for a specified square footage. I actually had to take the UV bulb out of mine, so as to not produce dangerous levels in a much reduced area than that for which the unit was intended...I just use it as a heavy duty air filter. The Honeywell unit in question probably is not a heavy generator. Kit
