UV lights installed in an HVAC system kill bacteria, viruses, and mold growth on the evaporator coil and in the airflow, going beyond what filters alone can catch.
Joe recommends long-life, whole-home options like Remy Halo LED lights, which last around five years and pair carbon filtration to capture what the light neutralizes as air passes through.
Together, the light and carbon filter combination cuts down on pet dander, household odors, off-gassing from finished surfaces like floors and furniture, and seasonal allergy triggers, while keeping coil growth from taking hold.

While in Colorado, we don’t have to deal with that a lot. But there’s still some times where you do get a little growth on that. It’ll shine the light on top of that coil and not allow it to grow anything that’s inside. On top of that, you’re removing pet dander, odors docs, everything that has a stain finish, like your floors, your dressers, anything like that off puts bad gases and harmful gases into your home.
