HVAC UV lights are commonly sold as "air cleaners."But it's become common knowledge that they don't actually clean the air itself as it passes through the indoor HVAC system. The air is typically moving too fast to be cleaned effectively anyway. However, in this video, we talk about the benefits of UV lights and what they are actually doing in the system as the air passes through. So indirectly, the air will be cleaner with the UV light in the system.

    Thank you for being honest and practical with your advice!

    There is no such thing as naturally occurring perfectly clean water or air. It may be helpful to say a UV light kills biologic pathogens in the air stream and keeps the evaporator clean if it is lit by the UV light. Cleaning the air is the job of your furnace air filter. Not all pathogens are caught by the air filter and the air filter can not keep them from growing on the evaporator coil and decreasing it's ability to absorb heat. So placement of the UV light is critical to peak efficiency. Great video.

    This is good I tell my customers this and they are caught by surprise because the last guy who installed it told them it ā€œpurifies the airā€ when that isnā€™t the case at all itā€™s just a contact killer that keeps the air handler clean plain and simple. I try to sell polarized air filters if I can due to them being more effective and actually trapping very small microns on dirt and chemicals

    According to ASHRAE only 10% of the airborne particles in a house ever make it to the air filter. IOW they arenā€™t effective air cleaners. Their job is to protect the equipment.
