Why UV lights matter in Tampa:
- Humidity breeds mold on dark, damp evaporator coils. UV kills spores before they circulate.
- Tampa pollen + allergens — UV-C deactivates microbial particles that filter doesn’t catch.
- Musty smell from vents — UV is the permanent fix, not just duct cleaning.
- Longer coil life — clean coils run more efficiently, last 3-5 years longer.

- LED technology — no mercury, no bulb replacement for 5 years
- Ionization adds to sanitization (not just UV)
- Covers 2,000+ sq ft (whole-home)
- Warrantied 5 years
Factors that affect price:
- UV-C (standard) vs Halo-LED (premium ionization) vs whole-home purifier (MERV 14+ filtration + UV)

- Bundle with duct cleaning or dehumidifier for discount
Frequently Asked Questions
Does UV light really work?
Yes — UV-C at 254 nm kills mold, bacteria, and viruses on coil surfaces. Peer-reviewed research confirms effectiveness when properly installed. Key is positioning — we mount for maximum coil coverage.
How long does UV-C bulb last?
Standard UV-C: 2 years, $49-$99 replacement. Halo-LED: 5 years (longer because of LED tech).
Is UV light safe?
Yes — sealed inside air handler, never exposed to people. No ozone emission from our bulbs (we use low-UV-output safe models).
Will it cure my allergies?
Helps significantly by reducing mold + bacteria in HVAC air. Combine with MERV 13 filter + duct cleaning for best results. Not a cure for outdoor allergies (pollen).
Halo-LED vs standard UV?
Halo-LED adds ionization + bipolar ion technology = more aggressive air cleaning. Premium price but our preferred for Tampa.
Will it affect my electric bill?
UV uses ~40W — pennies per day. No noticeable impact.
Can I install it myself?
Electrical tie-in + proper positioning require a pro. DIY often installs incorrectly = less effective. $279 pro install with warranty.
Warranty?
1-year Home Therapist install warranty. Bulb manufacturer 2-5 years depending on model.
Best with what systems?
Works with ALL AC/heat pump systems — Goodman, Daikin, Trane, Carrier, etc. We install across all brands.
How long to install?
1-2 hours typical. Same-day Tampa Bay service.
