Residential UV Light Air Purifier Installation in Pasadena, CA

At #1 AC Guys, our mission is healthy air at home for a healthy life. That is why Pasadena homeowners trust our 4th-generation family of engineers for residential UV light air purifier installation that blends science, safety, and craftsmanship.

How UV-C Works With Your HVAC

UV-C energy is installed where it can be most effective in a residential system—at the evaporator coil to inhibit biofilm, and in the supply plenum to expose moving air. This approach helps reduce certain microorganisms on surfaces, limits musty odors, and supports coil cleanliness for sustained airflow and efficiency.

• Coil-mounted UV: Targets the damp coil surface and drain pan to minimize growth that can cause odors and restrict airflow.
• In-duct UV: Treats air in the supply plenum to complement filtration and improve overall HVAC hygiene.
• System synergy: Works alongside high-MERV filters and humidity control for a balanced indoor air quality strategy.

While UV is not a stand-alone cure-all, it is a proven, maintenance-friendly tool that can elevate indoor air quality when engineered and installed correctly.

When UV Is a Smart Fit for Your Home

• Allergies or sensitivities—seeking a cleaner, fresher indoor environment.
• Homes with pets—addressing dander and recurring odors.
• Older or historic Pasadena homes—managing mustiness and duct challenges.
• Frequent coil or drain pan issues—aiming to keep components cleaner between services.
• High occupancy or frequent guests—desiring an extra layer of HVAC hygiene.

Not sure if UV is right for you? Our engineers assess your HVAC design, usage patterns, and goals, then present clear options and expected outcomes.

Our Residential UV Installation Process

• Assessment and sizing: We evaluate square footage, duct layout, static pressure, filtration, and service access to select the correct UV type and lamp intensity.
• System selection: Coil-mounted vs. in-duct placement, with attention to lamp count, geometry, and safe sight-line considerations.
• Precise placement: We position UV lamps for optimal exposure while maintaining service clearances and minimizing shadowing.
• Electrical and controls: Clean wiring, dedicated power or interlock, labeling, and adherence to code and manufacturer guidance.
• Performance verification: Post-install checks for airflow, light containment, and safety interlocks, plus user orientation.
• Documentation and care: You receive maintenance guidance—typical lamp replacement is 12 to 24 months depending on model and run hours.

• How long do lamps last? Most residential lamps are replaced every 12 to 24 months depending on usage and model.
• Can UV be added to any system? We can integrate UV with most forced-air systems; we confirm space, access, and electrical before installation.
• Is UV safe? Installed correctly with proper shielding and interlocks, UV is designed for safe operation. We review precautions with every homeowner.
