A UV light for AC systems is a proven method to insure indoor air quality. UV lights installed in the air handler can prevent mold and mildew from building up on surfaces wherever the light hits. Also UV lights designed to be installed in the supply air duct can help prevent mold and bacterial buildup in a section of the duct system where these conditions are commonly encountered. UV lights should be installed by company who knows the proper techniques of doing so. Many times we find UV lights that are installed without a dedicated power supply, causing intermittent electrical issues with the A/C system. Additionally many times improperly trained installers or techs will install a duct uv light/air cleaner that doesn't shut off when the system is off. Most manufacturers recommend that certain lights be cycled on and off with the A/C system to insure proper life of the device and prevent fire hazards. If you are interested in indoor air quality or just want to make sure your UV light was installed properly call Instant A/C today.
