UV Light for HVAC: Installing UVC Lights for Commercial HVAC Units

Installing germicidal UVC lights in your commercial HVAC unit’s air handler can help keep your patients, tenants, and customers safe by eliminating airborne virus droplets, mold, and mildew. UVC lights installed within the enclosed air handler space reduce the risk of skin burns and radiation exposure that duct and vent lights may present. If improving indoor air quality is important to you, have UV lights professionally installed within your HVAC system by Service First AC Repair & Plumbing in San Antonio or New Braunfels, Texas.

If you own a business, apartment complex, hotel, or doctor’s office, or vacation rental, learn more about the benefits of UVC lights in your HVAC system.

Benefits of Germicidal UVC Light

UVC light bulbs improve indoor air quality tremendously by eliminating mold and mildew and deactivating germs and virus particles. Other benefits include:

  • Deactivating viral particles and bacteria in the air
  • Disinfecting liquids with high water content
  • Sanitizing nonporous surfaces like flooring tile and furniture
  • Disinfecting the air handler, vents, and inside ductwork inside HVAC system

According to the FDA,

“UVC radiation is a known disinfectant for air, water, and nonporous surfaces. UVC radiation has effectively been used for decades to reduce the spread of bacteria, such as tuberculosis.”

— FDA, February 1, 2021

Risks of Installing UV Lights Yourself

We highly recommend that you hire a professional HVAC company to install germicidal lights. Improper installation could put your customers, patients, or tenants at risk of radiation exposure. Exposing people’s skin to the low level of radiation for an extended amount of time could cause eye damage and sunburn. If you don’t know how and where to install the bulb it’s time to called a licensed technician.

Knowing Which UVC Lights are Safe to Install

Another potential risk is not knowing which UV light is safe and effective at sanitizing the indoor air and the inside of the ventilation system and air handler. Some models emit ozone, which can cause respiratory problems while others contain mercury which is extremely poisonous.

Some germicidal bulb models can destroy plastic and various manufactured materials including parts of your ventilation, ductwork, and AC system.
