UV Light Installation in Houston, TX

UV light air purification uses ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light installed in your HVAC system to kill airborne pathogens. UV-C light destroys the DNA of mildew, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as air passes through your system, preventing them from circulating through your home.

UV-C light at 253.7 nanometers penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms and destroys their DNA, making them unable to reproduce or cause infection. This is the same hospital-grade technology used in medical facilities to sterilize equipment and air. It kills 99.9% of mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses on contact.

UV lights are typically installed in two locations: 1) On or near the evaporator coil to prevent mildew growth in this dark, moist area, and 2) In the return air duct to sterilize air before it circulates through your home. We assess your system and recommend the best placement for maximum effectiveness.

UV light installation typically ranges from $500-$1,500 depending on the type of system, installation complexity, and your specific HVAC setup. Contact us for a free estimate. The system pays for itself through improved HVAC efficiency, reduced maintenance, and better health for your family.
