Most people don’t realize that UV lights are incredibly effective in killing bacteria, viruses and mold. Because of that, UV technology works great in HVAC systems to prevent the build-up and spread of mold and bacteria in homes. This can be especially important for people living with respiratory illnesses such as asthma and COPD.UV light can also prevent odours from infiltrating your home, and prevent the drains inside your AC unit and furnace from clogging and causing damage to your home. But don’t just take our word for it: In 2012, researchers at Duke University Medical Center found that using UV lights killed 97% of drug-resistant bacteria (sometimes called superbugs) in hospital rooms.
The two types of UV lights for HVAC are coil sanitizing and air sanitizing lights. Coil lights are for central AC systems, where bacteria build up around the AC coils. The light then kills the germs with every AC cycle. Air sanitizing lights are installed in the return ducts, cleaning the air before it goes back into your system. They can be coordinated to turn on and off with the blower and as such can cost a little more for installation.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
I would recommend KDM Home & Gas to anyone looking for great service at a good price.
May 26, 2020After our old (20+ years) unit gave out, I used HomeStars to obtain quotes for a replacement. Within 30 minutes of posting, I was speaking with Daniel, who was polite and helpful throughout the process. He offered a fair price and a few different products to choose from, and was able to do the installation the same week. I would recommend KDM Home & Gas to anyone looking for great service at a good price.
