Air Quality
UV Light (Germicidal)
An ultraviolet light installed inside your HVAC system that kills or neutralizes mold, bacteria, and viruses as air passes through, improving indoor air quality.
What Is a UV Light (Germicidal)?
Germicidal UV lights are installed inside your air handler or ductwork, typically near the evaporator coil. UV-C light disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, preventing mold, bacteria, and viruses from reproducing. There are two main types: coil-sterilization lights that run continuously to keep the evaporator coil clean, and air-sterilization lights that treat air as it passes through the system. UV lights are a supplement to good filtration, not a replacement for it.
Why It Matters for Your Home
The area around your evaporator coil is dark and damp — a perfect environment for mold growth. A UV light keeps the coil and surrounding area clean, which maintains system efficiency and prevents mold spores from being distributed through your home. It's a relatively affordable add-on that can make a meaningful difference in air quality, especially for allergy sufferers.
