Germicidal UV Light
for Your HVAC
System.

UV-C germicidal lights installed inside your ductwork or near your evaporator coil destroy bacteria, viruses, mould, and odour-causing compounds before they circulate through your home. The same technology used in hospitals — now protecting your family 24/7.

How It Works

UV-C Light Destroys What Filters Can't

Filters trap particles — UV light kills the living organisms that pass through them

Coil-Mounted UV

Installed near the evaporator coil where mould and bacteria love to grow. Runs continuously to keep the coil sterile and your system efficient. The most popular option.

Best for: Most homes

In-Duct Air UV

Mounted in the return air duct to irradiate air as it passes through. Destroys airborne viruses, bacteria, and mould spores in the air stream before they reach your living spaces.

Best for: Illness prevention

Combo UV + Filtration

Pair UV with a HEPA or media air cleaner for comprehensive protection. Filters trap particles; UV kills pathogens. Together, they deliver hospital-grade indoor air quality.

Best for: Maximum protection

for Your Home?

Benefits

Why UV Light for Your HVAC
Is a Smart Investment

Kills Mould & Bacteria

UV-C light at 254nm destroys the DNA of mould, bacteria, and viruses. Your evaporator coil stays sterile, and airborne pathogens are neutralized before reaching your family.

Eliminates Odours

UV light breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odour-causing molecules. Cooking smells, pet odours, and chemical off-gassing are reduced at the source.

Keeps Your Coil Clean

A clean evaporator coil means better heat transfer, lower energy bills, and a longer-lasting system. UV prevents the biofilm buildup that degrades efficiency over time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UV light in HVAC systems safe for my family?
Absolutely. The UV-C light is contained entirely within your ductwork — there's zero exposure to anyone in the home. It only irradiates air and surfaces inside the sealed duct system. The technology has been used in hospitals and water treatment for decades.
How often do UV bulbs need to be replaced?
UV-C bulbs typically last 12–24 months depending on the model and usage. Even though they may still glow after that period, their germicidal effectiveness diminishes. We recommend annual replacement, which we can include in a maintenance plan.
Can UV light replace my air filter?
No — they complement each other. Filters physically trap particles (dust, pollen, dander). UV light kills living organisms (bacteria, viruses, mould spores). For the best indoor air quality, use both together. Think of filters as the bouncer and UV as the security guard.
Will UV light increase my electricity bill?
UV-C lamps typically consume 15–40 watts — about the same as leaving a light bulb on. The annual electricity cost is usually under $15. Meanwhile, keeping your coil clean can actually improve your system's efficiency, potentially saving more than the UV light costs to run.
Does H&C install UV systems from all brands?
We install and service UV systems from all major brands. During your assessment, we'll recommend the right system based on your ductwork configuration, existing HVAC equipment, and air quality goals. We always prioritize what works best for your specific setup.
