UV air filters are HVAC-mounted UV-C light systems that disinfect air and surfaces inside your ductwork or air handler. They don’t replace standard particle filters — they complement them by neutralizing mold spores, bacteria, and many viruses that pass through. The UV-C light is fully contained inside the metal duct, so it’s safe in residential settings.

How UV-C works

  • Mounted inside ductwork or near the indoor coil
  • Emits UV-C light at 254 nm
  • Damages DNA in microorganisms, stopping reproduction
  • Keeps the coil and drain pan free of mold
  • Bulbs replaced annually for full effectiveness
