UV lights are a great way to improve the air quality in your home, and they are usually one of the most cost-effective solutions for doing so. If you're considering using UV lamps or any other indoor air quality unit, Scott-Lee Heating Company and Xtreme Heating & Cooling LLC are here to help. Unlike filters that capture particles larger than a certain size, UV light purifiers act directly on certain types of particles, eliminating bacteria, viruses, or mold cells that could otherwise make family members ill. The spiral disinfectant lights are installed to work constantly and are placed so that they can be used in areas most vulnerable to microbial growth.
A UV filtration system combines the power of UV lamps to remove viruses and bacteria with a filter high in MERV to trap other particles that can cause respiratory problems, such as pollen and dust. Once germicidal UV lights are installed, they can eliminate pathogens such as mold spores, bacteria, and viruses. In addition to paying for the purchase and installation of the lights themselves, you'll also have to pay occasionally for replacement lamps each time they burn out. This means that UV lights are also a great way to reduce your future repair needs and potentially extend the life of your HVAC system. Consult your HVAC technician and decide where is the best and most effective place to install UV lights in your HVAC system. To make your decision easier, here's a comprehensive overview of how much UV HVAC lamps typically cost and also of the factors that can influence this cost.
UV lights with a higher wavelength can penetrate deeper and are therefore more effective in eliminating a higher percentage of bacteria and viruses. The cost of installing UV lights in your HVAC system will depend on several factors, including the type of light you choose, the size of your home, and the complexity of the installation. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $1,000 for installation. However, it's important to note that this cost can vary significantly depending on the type of light you choose and the complexity of the installation. In addition to installation costs, you'll also need to factor in the cost of replacement lamps each time they burn out. Depending on the type of light you choose, replacement lamps can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 each.
