An HVAC UV light should be installed with clear line-of-sight to the evaporator coil and drain pan, typically inside the air handler or in the supply plenum adjacent to the coil. This location targets the moist coil surface where biofilm and mold most often form, helping maintain airflow and reduce odors.
Our technicians install these in homes throughout Greenacres, selecting the mount point that best exposes the coil face without harming nearby components.
- Place the lamp on the coil’s downstream side so the wet face is continuously illuminated.
- Seal the housing to stop light leaks and protect against condensation intrusion.
- Keep UV away from wiring, insulation, and plastics not rated for UV exposure.
- Provide a safe power connection and door interlock, with clear access for lamp replacement.
Always have a licensed HVAC professional perform UV-C installation to avoid electrical hazards and eye/skin injury.
