UV Sanitization & Air Purification
UV-C sanitization installs a hospital-grade germicidal light directly inside your HVAC system — sterilizing the evaporator coil and the air that flows past it 24/7. It's the single most effective upgrade for households dealing with allergies, mold, lingering odors, or anyone who just wants cleaner air on every cycle.
What's included
- Hospital-grade UV-C coil sanitizer
- Eliminates mold, bacteria & viruses on the coil
- Reduces VOCs, smoke residue & musty smells
- Same-day installation in most homes
- Annual bulb replacement included on plans
How UV-C Sanitization Works
A UV-C lamp is mounted inside the air handler aimed at the evaporator coil — the dark, damp surface where mold and bacteria love to grow. The 254nm light disrupts microbial DNA on contact, keeping the coil clinically clean and sanitizing every cubic foot of air that passes through.
Why North Bay Homes Need It
Coastal humidity, wildfire smoke residue, and tightly sealed modern homes create the perfect conditions for biological growth inside HVAC equipment. UV-C is a permanent, low-maintenance answer that costs less than $5/month in electricity to run.
Pairs Perfectly With Duct Cleaning
We frequently install UV-C right after a whole-home duct cleaning — the system stays cleaner, longer, and you'll notice a real difference in air quality within the first week.
Frequently asked questions
Is UV-C safe for my family?+
Yes — the lamp is sealed inside the air handler. You never see it or come into contact with the light. It only sanitizes air and surfaces inside the equipment.
How long do the bulbs last?+
UV-C bulbs lose effectiveness after about 9,000 hours — roughly one year of continuous use. We swap bulbs annually as part of our maintenance plan.
Will it really stop me from getting sick?+
UV-C deactivates a high percentage of airborne microbes that pass through the air handler, including many viruses and bacteria. It's one layer of a strong IAQ strategy — best paired with MERV 13 filtration.
