What Are UV Lights?
Ultraviolet or UV-C lights use radiation to neutralize harmful pathogens. This leaves contaminants unable to cause infection by disrupting their DNA and killing their cells.
UV lights are installed in air ducts or handlers so that when air is drawn in, it’s exposed to the light and purified. When used in combination with standard pre-filters or HEPA filtration, homeowners can have the peace of mind that their indoor air is safe.
Common Contaminants UV Light Neutralizes
UV light technology can be used to remove and neutralize a wide range of pollutants, including:
- Germs
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Fungi
- Mold spores
- And more

Frequently Asked Questions
Should HVAC UV lights stay on all the time?
Yes, for UV purification to be effective, the lights need to always be on. The bulb will need to be replaced annually.
Are HVAC UV lights safe?
Since UV lights are installed within your HVAC system, homeowners don’t have any direct or prolonged exposure to their skin or eyes.
What are the benefits of installing UV lights?
There are a wide range of benefits to installing UV lights, including:
- Reduced allergies and illness
- Fewer lingering odors
- Improved airflow
- Greater HVAC efficiency
How is UV light installed in an HVAC system?
UV lights are typically installed inside your HVAC system’s air handler or within the ductwork. An HVAC technician mounts the UV lamp in a location where air flows past it—often near the evaporator coil or return air ducts. This ensures that as air circulates through the system, it’s exposed to the UV light and harmful microorganisms are neutralized.
How long do UV lights for HVAC systems last?
Most HVAC UV lights last about 9 to 12 months, depending on the brand and usage. Some higher-end models can last up to 2 years. It’s important to have them inspected and replaced regularly to maintain optimal performance and air purification.
Can UV light help with allergies or asthma symptoms?
Yes, UV lights can help reduce allergy and asthma symptoms by neutralizing airborne allergens such as mold spores, bacteria, and viruses. While they don’t remove particles like dust or pollen, when combined with a good filtration system, they can significantly improve overall indoor air quality and provide relief for those with respiratory sensitivities.
