UV light systems have definitely increased in popularity with the ongoing pandemic. The best UV light for your HVAC system will depend on the type of HVAC you have.
UV lights for HVAC systems aren’t incredibly common in residential systems as they’re often used in places like hospitals. The main purpose of UV lights is to kill microorganisms and keep your HVAC system clean. When used in a residential setting, UV lights typically prevent mold growth, keeping your air clean and your HVAC running efficiently.
Depending on whether you have a mini-split, split, oil furnace, electric furnace, or hybrid system will impact the type of UV light you can install. You’ll want to do your research before deciding on the best UV light for your home.
A few companies you can explore are:
  • Fresh-Aire UV
  • Air Health
  • Plasma Air
Also, consider contacting a professional HVAC specialist to review your options based on your home and needs.
