HVAC UV Light Installation In Tampa, FL

AC UV Lights Are Safe and Effective

A UV light purifier emits the same type of UV as the sun, except it’s more concentrated. This damages the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and mold to prevent them from replicating and growing. When installed correctly, an HVAC UV light won’t harm anyone in your household. It’s placed such that the light is out of sight. The bulb and its housing are placed inside the system near the air handler and evaporator coils.

Should I Install a UV Light In My HVAC System?

The air filter in your HVAC system is not enough. While filters capture lots of dust and other particles, they don’t catch everything. Much more may be getting through that you can’t see. The signs you should install an AC UV light include:

• Allergy Symptoms and Illnesses: If sneezing, itchy eyes, coughing, and other allergy symptoms are worse while indoors and throughout the year, you may benefit from HVAC  UV light installation. It can reduce symptoms of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Frequent bacterial and viral infections are also signs you may benefit from such an upgrade.
• Unpleasant Odors: Mold, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in AC components and ductwork can cause foul odors. Neutralizing odor-causing particles from within your HVAC system is the best way to eliminate unpleasant odors.
• Dust Is Everywhere: If there are layers of dust soon after cleaning your home, you could have an indoor air quality issue. The source is often inside the HVAC system. A UV light can prevent the buildup of certain particles, keeping your ducts and evaporator coils cleaner so there’s less dust to circulate. 
• Mold: Mold growth is more likely if your home is too humid. While there are ways to control humidity, mold spores are ever-present. A UV light can destroy them before they take hold, and prevent the musty odors they can cause.
• Heavy Use of Disinfectants and Varnishes: The use of disinfectants, varnishes, and other products introduces VOCs into your home. They can have a strong smell and be a health hazard. Ultraviolet lights eliminate VOCs while they’re still in your HVAC system before you breathe them in.

Benefits of an HVAC Ultraviolet Light

An ultraviolet light is one of the most effective air purification solutions. There may be hundreds of contaminants circulating in your home. If you haven’t yet installed a UV light in your heating and cooling system, it can provide the following advantages:

• Fewer allergens, bacteria, and viruses
• Less frequent allergy flare-ups and illnesses
• Reduced buildup in filters, ducts, and coils
• Improved airflow throughout your home
• Increased energy efficiency
• Fewer unpleasant odors
• Little maintenance (just change the bulb once a year)

JackRabbit Can Help You Benefit from the Latest UV Light Technology

We offer different AC UV lights depending on your needs. A photocatalytic oxidation cleaner eliminates bacteria and other organic pollutants that circulate in your HVAC system. It also helps improve the effectiveness of air filters. The byproducts include only carbon dioxide and harmless vapor. 

An ultraviolet germicidal irradiation cleaner works the same way. However, it emits a catalyst that reacts with UV light to destroy gas pollutants, including toxic vapors found in household products such as cleaners, paints, and glue. Some of the compounds it can eliminate include toluene and formaldehyde.

How Much Does HVAC UV Light Installation Cost?

The cost of an AC UV light air cleaning system varies depending on many factors. These include the model, light wavelength (higher wavelengths are more effective, so the unit costs more), and advanced features such as LED displays. The type of UV light also determines the cost, as does what your HVAC contractor charges for labor.
