Utilizes a germicidal UV-C lamp designed specifically for HVAC applications, which is capable of penetrating and disrupting the DNA of microorganisms like mold and bacteria to inhibit their growth and reproduction.
The UV-C light comes with a magnetic mounting bracket, making it easy to install without needing major modifications to your existing HVAC setup.
It features a 14-inch UV-C lamp that is effective in sanitizing and preventing mold growth in the HVAC coils.
The unit includes a UV safety viewport and a germicidal ballast, which ensures the lamp's longevity and safety during operation.
Yes, HVAC UV lights are safe for adults and children when installed correctly in your HVAC system. These lights primarily target the coils and other specific components within the system, with a typical UV-C kill radius of around 3-5 inches. This confined exposure ensures that the UV-C radiation effectively neutralizes microorganisms like mold, bacteria, and viruses, while minimizing any risk to occupants. Modern UV lights are equipped with protective shields and installed by professionals to ensure safe operation, adhering to stringent safety standards for both residential and commercial environments.
Cost of Maintenance:
Replacement bulbs: UV bulbs generally need replacement every 2 years, costing around $99 per bulb depending on the type and brand.
Energy Consumption:
Power Usage: Our 24-watt UV lights are extremely energy-efficient, consuming significantly less power compared to standard models. Annual operating costs for our UV lights are low, generally ranging from $5 to $10, depending on usage and electricity rates.
These costs are minimal compared to the benefits of improved indoor air quality and reduced microbial growth. For precise cost estimates tailored to your system, consult with our HVAC experts.
Between 30-60 mins for full UV coil installation.
To ensure mold prevention in a typical HVAC system, it's recommended to install 2-3 UV lights. While even one light can provide benefits, multiple lights enhance effectiveness. If budget constraints arise, prioritize placing the UV light on the bottom side of the coil where organic material tends to accumulate—the source of mold growth. This placement ensures 100% coverage of the coil, leveraging the UV light's 3-5 inch kill radius to effectively neutralize mold and bacteria.(show an image here of 3 UV lights on a coil)

First it's important to understand that Mold needs 3 things to grow:
One: A damp and dark area (your hvac coil)
Two: Temperatures between 65-85 degrees (the purpose of your coils)
Three: Organic Material
UV lights emit UV-C radiation, which disrupts the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and effectively killing them. So by installing our UV light over your entire coil you eliminate the first requirement. To go above and beyond we recommend cleaning and sanitizing your air duct returns and cleaning and sanitizing your coils every 12-24 months.
HVAC UV lights are devices that use ultraviolet (UV) radiation to eliminate mold, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can grow and thrive in HVAC systems.
