UV Lights for HVAC Service in Dallas-Fort Worth

uv light for hvac

As a homeowner, you want the best for your household. Breathing air is a constant action that we don’t even think about doing, but at the same time, you do not even think about what may or may not be floating around in it. It is important to understand that the air inside your own home could contain all sorts of contaminants. These can be various forms of viruses and bacteria. 

Filtering air with cleaners and filters works to an extent, but the most microscopic pathogens in the air are only eliminated through UV (ultraviolet) light. Having a UV light system in your home cleans your indoor air in a way that air cleaners can’t. Sunny Service is here to provide the best possible service in getting you a UV light for your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system.

What are UV Lights for HVAC?

UV lights are ultraviolet and release a disinfectant effect that helps to eliminate bacteria in the air that items like air filters would otherwise miss. When installed, the UV light works to support your HVAC by eliminating all the dangerous germs before they spread through areas like your air vents. The UV light cleaning effect only takes about 10 seconds before the harmful bacteria’s DNA is destroyed which prevents them also from replicating.

There are different types of HVAC UV lights:

  • Coil Sterilization – This is installed near the evaporation coil of the air conditioner as the coil attracts moisture to it, leading to mold and bacteria growing. The UV light disinfects the coil surface of the contaminants and prevents them from replicating.
  • Air Sterilization – This would be installed near the air handler or your ducts from the HVAC. When air circulates through this system it will pass through the UV light which will kill any airborne pathogens, thus increasing the overall air quality.
  • Condensate Pan – This light would be installed near the condensate pan which collects the drained liquid from your evaporator coil. The cumulation of the moisture for this will attract mold and other bacteria. The UV light will disinfect the pan and prevent any microorganisms from continuing to grow.

Each HVAC UV light serves an individual purpose so in terms of keeping overall air quality throughout the entirety of the home, these lights are best used together.

Benefits of UV Lights for HVAC Systems

There are a ton of germs and bacteria that fly throughout the air that items like filters are not able to catch. UV lights eliminate these all the way, even down to the microscopic germs that are not easily killed while also preventing them from replicating.

A UV light for your HVAC system will also help to increase its efficiency and broaden the lifespan of your system. This is due to the UV light for the HVAC helping to eliminate buildup in places like your air ducts or parts of your air conditioner. By keeping your HVAC healthy, you are giving yourself a better and longer living system. Doing so can also help you save money on repairs, too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do UV lights improve air quality?

Ultra Violet lights kill those microorganisms like bacteria or mold that can gather in areas of your HVAC. The light produced by the lamp kills gathering bacteria by attacking their DNA, thus preventing them from replicating. This allows the air that flows from places like your air conditioner to be completely bacteria-free.

Are UV lights safe for my HVAC system and home?

Yes, when UV lights are installed correctly and placed at the right spectrum of light, they pose no danger to you or your HVAC system. When installed, they will improve the air quality and give your system a longer life span as they destroy any buildup from bacteria that ruins performance.

How often do UV lights need maintenance or replacement?

UV light bulbs produce around the same amount as your regular household fluorescent bulb, so usually a replacement of about a year is recommended. For general maintenance you can do these tips:

  • Wipe the bulb about every 6 months as dust buildup can decrease the effectiveness of the UV light
  • Avoid directly touching the UV bulb as the oil from your fingers can cause the bulb to heat unevenly.

For more specific questions about UV light maintenance and replacement, you will want to talk to a professional for UV light services.

A bill for the UV lights and the installation process can range from $200 to $1000. The factors for price comes from the bulbs themselves as they can range from $60 to $400. Bulbs tend to be on the more expensive side due to factors like:

  • Higher Wavelength costs more but can penetrate germs more
