How Do HVAC UV Lights Work?
Ultraviolet light filtration is an advanced method for enhancing indoor air quality. These lights emit a wavelength that can destroy the DNA or RNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, effectively rendering them harmless.
This technology can work with standard pre-filters and HEPA filtration to provide a comprehensive air purification solution. While the filters capture larger particles like dust and pollen, your UV light targets and eliminates microscopic contaminants that pass through.
This combined approach ensures that the air in your home is clean and free from harmful pathogens, promoting a healthier home for you and your family.
What Contaminants Can UV Lights Neutralize?
HVAC UV light purification systems are designed to combat a broad range of harmful airborne contaminants. These are some of the most common types of pollutants that UV air purifiers can help eliminate:
- Bacteria, such as E. coli and Legionella
- Viruses, including COVID-19 and the flu
- Fungi
- Mold spores

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.

The main drawbacks of ultraviolet air purifiers are installation and maintenance costs.
However, any improvement to your HVAC system will cost money to install and need routine maintenance, so don’t let that stop you from investing in this air quality solution.
Do HVAC UV lights use a lot of electricity?
No, HVAC UV lights use minimal electricity, comparable to a standard lightbulb, making them an energy-efficient solution for air purification.
Are HVAC UV lights worth it?
