Coil-Mounted UV Lights

UV lights mounted near the evaporator coil continuously irradiate the coil surface to prevent mold and biofilm growth — a common problem in Florida's humid climate.

Air-Purifying UV Systems

Air-purifying UV systems treat the air as it flows through your HVAC system, killing airborne mold spores, bacteria, and viruses on contact.

Dual-Lamp Systems

Dual-lamp systems provide maximum coverage, treating both the coil surface and the airstream for comprehensive protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do UV lights really work to kill mold and bacteria?
Yes — UV-C light at 254nm wavelength is scientifically proven to kill mold, bacteria, and viruses by disrupting their DNA. It's used in hospitals and commercial buildings for air purification.
Where is the UV light installed in my HVAC system?
UV lights are typically installed in the air handler, near the evaporator coil. This location allows the UV light to treat both the coil surface (preventing mold growth) and the air passing through the system.
Is UV light safe for my family?
Yes — the UV light is installed inside your HVAC system where it's not directly visible. The UV light only affects microorganisms, not humans or pets, as long as it's properly installed inside the air handler.
How long do UV bulbs last?
UV bulbs typically lose effectiveness after 9,000–12,000 hours of operation (about 1–2 years). We recommend annual bulb replacement to maintain effectiveness.
