Eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold with ultraviolet germicidal technology for your HVAC system.
UV-C light at 254 nanometers disrupts the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. When installed in your HVAC system, UV-C lights continuously sanitize the air and keep your coils clean, improving efficiency and indoor air quality.
Studies show UV-C technology can eliminate up to 99.9% of airborne pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. It's particularly effective at preventing mold growth on cooling coils, which can significantly impact air quality and system efficiency.

While some UV-C lights can be DIY installed, professional installation ensures proper placement for maximum effectiveness and safe electrical connection. A qualified HVAC technician can position the light for optimal coil coverage and verify your system is compatible.
Bulb Strength: Look for at least 36 watts for residential systems. Higher wattage provides more sanitization power.
Placement: UV-C lights work best when placed near the evaporator coil where mold growth is most common.
Bulb Life: Most UV-C bulbs last 1-2 years and need replacement. Factor this into your ongoing costs.
System Compatibility: Ensure the UV light fits your ductwork and HVAC configuration.
Additional Features: Some systems combine UV-C with ionization or photocatalytic oxidation for enhanced air treatment.
