HVAC UV Light

UV light technology has been used for decades in hospitals and laboratories to eliminate harmful microorganisms. When installed in an HVAC system, A/C UV light systems work in one of two ways.

Some systems focus on coil sterilization. These systems focus on keeping your HVAC system’s evaporator coil free of mold and bacteria. Other systems focus on air sterilization. These systems purify the air as it moves through your ductwork. 

Both system types use germicidal UVC light to disrupt the DNA of mold and bacteria. This prevents them from reproducing or spreading throughout your home. 

Homeowners who invest in UV air purifiers often notice a significant reduction in musty odors, fewer allergy symptoms, and even improved efficiency in their HVAC system. Clean evaporator coils mean your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to push air through clogged or contaminated ducts. 

For those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to airborne pollutants, a UV light air purification system offers an extra layer of protection, ensuring that the air in your home is as clean as possible. Over time, an HVAC UV Light will reduce your energy bills and extend the lifespan of your system.

Selecting the right UV light for your HVAC system depends on your specific needs. If mold or bacterial growth inside your AC unit is a concern, a coil sterilization UV system is the best choice. These are mounted near the evaporator coil, where they work continuously to prevent microbial buildup.

Air sterilization UV systems are the better option for homeowners who want to purify the air throughout their home. Installed inside the ductwork, these lights kill airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores as the air circulates through your system.

During your consultation, our team will assess your home’s air quality and HVAC system to recommend the best ultraviolet light air purifier for your needs.

Are UV light air purifiers effective?

Yes! Studies show that ultraviolet lights for AC systems can eliminate up to 99% of airborne bacteria and mold. They are especially beneficial for homes with allergy sufferers or those looking to reduce indoor contaminants.

How often does a UV light for HVAC need to be replaced?

Most UV air purifier bulbs last 12 to 24 months before needing replacement. Our team can provide regular maintenance to ensure your system continues working efficiently.

Does a UV light air purification system replace air filters?

No. UV lights work alongside traditional air filters to provide better overall air quality. While air filters trap dust and large particles, UV light neutralizes airborne bacteria, mold, and viruses that filters can’t catch.

Will a UV light for HVAC remove odors?

Yes, UV lights can help reduce unpleasant odors caused by mold, mildew, and bacteria. However, for smoke or pet odors, additional HVAC sanitization solutions may be recommended.
