UV-C Air & Coil Purification Systems
Heating and air conditioning systems can collect moisture around indoor evaporator coils and drain pans, creating conditions where mold, bacteria, and algae can grow. UV-C purification technology works inside the air handler to help neutralize these contaminants at the source while supporting cleaner equipment and indoor air.
Benefits of UV-C Purification
UV-C purification helps neutralize biological contaminants, reduce buildup on HVAC coils, control damp odours, and support cleaner air circulation.
Targeted Biological Neutralization:
UV-C light helps break down mold, fungi, and airborne viruses, rendering them inactive before they can circulate through living spaces.
Peak System Performance & Energy Savings:
UV-C helps prevent biofilm buildup on cooling coils, supporting airflow and helping equipment operate efficiently.
Elimination of Damp Odors:
Helps eliminate organic growth associated with persistent musty odours from air handlers and ductwork.
Ozone-Free Operation:
Modern germicidal lamps generate zero ozone or secondary chemical pollutants.
UV-C System Configurations
| Feature | Location | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| Coil & Surface Sanitizer | Directly over the indoor cooling coil and drain pan | Continuously sanitizes equipment surfaces to help prevent mold and organic buildup. |
| Airflow Sanitizer | Integrated into the main return or supply air ducts | Treats passing air to help reduce airborne microorganisms as air circulates. |
Keeping Your UV-C System Effective
Regular filtration, lamp replacement, and proper UV-C placement help maintain effective system performance and coverage.
Pair With High-Efficiency Filtration
UV-C light neutralizes living organisms but does not remove non-living particles. Pairing it with a quality media filter, such as MERV 11 or higher, can help capture dust, dander, and debris.
Replace UV Lamps Regularly
Germicidal intensity can decrease over time even when the bulb still produces visible light. UV lamps should be replaced every 12 to 24 months to maintain disinfectant performance.
Use Professional Placement
UV-C radiation can damage unshielded wiring or vulnerable plastics over time. Proper placement helps ensure safe operation and effective surface coverage.
