Installing an HVAC UV light is an effective way to improve indoor air quality and reduce the presence of harmful bacteria and viruses. It is important to follow indoor air quality priorities before doing so, as the best location for the UV light may vary depending on the type of air conditioning system. For central air conditioning systems, the best location for the UV light is usually near the air intake. If you have a window-mounted climate system, it should be placed near windows and close to the evaporator coil.
This will ensure that the air is effectively sterilized as it passes through the air conditioning system. The most important physical step is to drill holes in the metal cover of the air conditioning system in order to insert the UV bulb. If you already have enough cords and cables hanging from the outlets in your house, you can connect the UV light to the oven. However, if mold has already grown in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, you should install the UV lamp so that it illuminates the area where there is mold as much as possible. Blue light may be emanating from the unit, but it no longer emits sufficient frequency of UV-C light.
Preferably, you should install the UV light closer to the drip tray and where there is more moisture. These UV air purifiers can be installed on the side of the return duct, reducing the chances of UV light damaging critical HVAC wiring or other plastic parts. The best place to install a UV lamp if it is A-shaped is above, in the center, and downstream of the coil. The next best option would be to install the UV light under the coil, but in some cases there may not be enough space. You may need to replace UV light more often if the air conditioning system is used frequently or if you have a pet or someone in your home with allergies. Installing an HVAC UV light is an effective way to improve indoor air quality and reduce harmful bacteria and viruses in your home.
It is important to follow indoor air quality priorities before installing an HVAC UV lamp and to make sure that it is installed in an optimal location for maximum effectiveness.
