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
