Did you know your home’s HVAC filter alone can’t remove every airborne contaminant? Many microbes that cause illness, mold, and other indoor air quality issues are too small for filters to capture.
Fortunately, there’s an alternative — let the Comfort First Heating & Cooling experts install an HVAC UV Light in your system.
Call today to schedule service and talk to the Comfort First team about UV light as a solution to your Charlotte home’s air quality issues.
How Do HVAC UV Lights Work?
Ultraviolet light neutralizes a variety of organic chemicals and biological contaminants in your home’s air. It’s installed in your HVAC system’s air handler, so it’s an effective whole-home solution that treats the air before it’s distributed through your ductwork.
A UV light will eliminate the harmful effects of:
- Viruses
- Bacteria
- Mold spores
- Cleaning residues
- Odor-causing chemicals and compounds
Combined with standard pre-filters and HEPA air purifiers to remove larger particles, you can achieve the cleanest and healthiest possible air in your home.
What are the Benefits of Installing an HVAC UV Light?
If you’re wondering whether it’s worth investing in an ultraviolet light, we’re here to tell you why it is. By installing a UV light in your HVAC system, you’ll enjoy a wealth of benefits, including:
- Improved allergy, asthma, and respiratory symptoms
- Fresher-smelling air
- Reduced risk of mold and mildew growth

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UV Light Kill Mold in HVAC?
Yes, UVC light can kill mold in HVAC systems, especially when used correctly.
How it works:
UVC (Ultraviolet C) light has germicidal properties and can damage the DNA and RNA of mold spores, bacteria, and viruses.
When installed in HVAC systems (typically near the coils and drip pans), UVC lights can prevent mold and microbial growth on surfaces where moisture tends to accumulate.
What it’s good for:
Preventing new mold growth on coils and interior HVAC components.
Improving air quality by reducing mold, bacteria, and other pathogens.
Maintaining HVAC efficiency, as mold buildup can reduce system performance.
Should HVAC UV lights stay on all the time?
Yes, it’s most effective if it’s on all the time. Turning the UV light on and off can accelerate wear on your bulb and lower its efficacy.
Do HVAC UV lights use a lot of electricity?
UV lights typically use more electricity than a standard lightbulb, but not so excessive that you’ll see much of a difference on your electric bill.
Are HVAC UV lights safe?
HVAC UV lights are perfectly safe. Nobody should be exposed directly to UV light in your HVAC system, but modern UV lights use far-UVC, which won’t harm your eyes or skin like germicidal UVC.
