UV Lights

At Millian Aire AC & Heating, we specialize in providing advanced air purification solutions, and UV lights are one of the most effective tools for improving indoor air quality. These lights work by eliminating bacteria, mold, and viruses directly inside your HVAC system, preventing harmful microorganisms from circulating throughout your home.

Unlike air filters, which only trap contaminants, or oxidation units, which neutralize odors and VOCs, UV lights actively sanitize the air and HVAC components.

This means that instead of simply catching particles, they destroy harmful pathogens at their source, making them a proactive solution for cleaner air.

One of the key benefits of UV lights is that they purify the air without restricting airflow. Unlike high-MERV filters, which can make your HVAC system work harder due to airflow resistance, UV lights operate without affecting air circulation, making them an excellent addition to your air purification strategy.

Additionally, UV lights help prevent mold growth inside your HVAC system, which is particularly valuable in humid climates where moisture buildup is common.

By keeping your evaporator coil and blower cabinets free from microbial growth, UV lights not only improve air quality but also enhance HVAC efficiency and longevity.

How UV Lights Work in HVAC Systems

HVAC UV lights are strategically installed inside evaporator coils and blower cabinets, where moisture accumulation creates the perfect environment for bacteria, mold, and other microbial growth. 

These areas are often hidden inside your system, making them difficult to clean manually, this is where UV lights step in.

Using UVC light technology, these lights emit powerful ultraviolet radiation that breaks down microorganisms at the molecular level. This process destroys bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, preventing them from multiplying and spreading through your HVAC ductwork and indoor air.

How the Process Works:

1. UV lights are installed near moisture-prone areas, such as the evaporator coil and blower cabinets.
2. As air circulates through the HVAC system, the UVC light destroys airborne contaminants before they can be distributed throughout your home.
3. UV lights work continuously, providing ongoing protection against mold, bacteria, and viruses.
4. Over time, this helps reduce allergens, eliminate musty odors, and maintain a cleaner HVAC system, improving overall performance.

UV lights operate with minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective long-term solution. Additionally, they work alongside air filters and oxidation units, providing a multi-layered approach to air purification.

At Millian Aire, we offer expert installation of UV light systems, ensuring they are properly placed for maximum effectiveness in your HVAC unit. Whether you’re looking to reduce allergens, prevent mold, or eliminate bacteria, UV lights are an excellent addition to your indoor air quality strategy.

UV Lights vs. Air Filters vs. Oxidation Units

When improving indoor air quality, it’s important to understand the differences between UV lights for AC systems, air filters, and oxidation units. Each serves a unique purpose, and in many cases, they work best when used together.

• Air filters are designed to trap airborne particles like dust, pet dander, and allergens, but they do not eliminate bacteria, mold, or viruses.
• Oxidation units release hydrogen peroxide molecules to neutralize VOCs and odors throughout the home. However, they do not directly prevent microbial growth inside your air conditioner system.
• UV lights for air conditioners focus on sanitizing the HVAC system itself, preventing mold, bacteria, and viruses from growing in your AC unit’s evaporator coil and blower cabinets. Unlike high-MERV filters, a UV light system for air conditioners does not restrict airflow, keeping your HVAC system running efficiently.

Comparison Table: UV Lights vs. Air Filters vs. Oxidation Units

Feature	High-MERV Filters	UV Light for AC Systems	Oxidation Units
Removes dust & allergens	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No
Eliminates bacteria, mold & viruses	❌ No	✅ Yes	✅ Yes
Prevents microbial growth in HVAC system	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No
Restricts airflow	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No
Reduces odors & VOCs	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes
Best for allergy sufferers	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes

For best results, homeowners often choose to combine these solutions:

• Air filters for removing dust and allergens.
• UV light for air conditioners to prevent mold and bacteria inside the system.
• Oxidation units to neutralize VOCs and eliminate household odors.

Types of UV Lights for HVAC Systems

We offer two types of HVAC UV light systems, depending on your home’s needs and level of microbial contamination.

Standard UV Light for AC Systems

• Best for newer AC systems or units with mild microbial growth.
• Works as a preventative measure, stopping mold and bacteria from forming.
• Typically rated at 45-55 microwatts at the time of installation.
• A great option for homeowners who want an affordable AC system UV light to maintain system cleanliness.

High-Output UVC Light Kits

• More powerful, designed for heavily contaminated HVAC systems or homes in humid climates.
• Kills existing microbial growth and prevents future contamination.
• We install Solace Air and Reme Halo, with Solace Air as our top recommendation due to its 180-microwatt rating—3.3 times stronger than standard UV lamps for air conditioners.
• If you need a UV light AC system that provides maximum microbial protection, a high-output UVC light kit is the best choice.

Best Applications for UV Lights & Why Choose Millian Aire

Installing a UV light for your air conditioner is one of the best ways to improve indoor air quality and maintain a cleaner HVAC system. Whether you are looking to reduce allergens, eliminate mold, or improve airflow efficiency, a UV light AC system provides continuous protection against airborne contaminants.

Ideal Homes & Applications for a UV Light System

• Homes in humid climates – Prevents mold and bacteria from growing inside the air conditioner system, especially in moisture-prone areas.
• Homes with allergies & asthma sufferers – A UV light for AC units helps eliminate airborne bacteria, mold spores, and allergens, improving air quality for sensitive individuals.
• Households concerned about viruses & bacteria – UV light bulbs for air conditioners kill viruses and bacteria before they circulate through your home’s air.
