How It Works
UV-Aire uses the energy from a specially designed, high-
intensity UV-C lamp to reduce microorganisms in the entire
home as they cycle through the HVAC system. Mounted
inside the duct work, the UV-Aire sterilizes or kills most
contaminants as they pass the lamp.
The process requires very little maintenance and costs just
pennies a day to operate. The UV-Aire could be one of the
best health and comfort investments a homeowner
ever makes.
UV’s effectiveness in killing bacteria is directly related to
the microorganism’s exposure time. Indoor air in a typical
residential forced-air HVAC system will be recirculated 40-75
times a day. With a UV generating lamp mounted in the
HVAC duct, cumulative exposure can be very effective in
controlling indoor bacteria and other airborne contaminants.
UV rays will also kill germs and mold that breed in drain
pans and A-coils. Properly positioned, an ultraviolet system
can significantly reduce indoor air contamination and
prevent the growth of new microorganisms.
UV-Aire in the Lab
We have three independent studies on the efficiency
and effectiveness of the UV-Aire. For complete details,

Installation Options
The UV-Aire can be installed in ducts nine inches and larger.
Each unit comes with a duct board mounting kit and a
patented angle bracket. A dual lamp model is available for
commercial applications and/or increased potency. There
is also a model designed specifically for heat pumps and a
model for outdoor installations.
