While UV lights are marketed as air quality solutions, Bozzelli and Sons emphasizes their limited effectiveness in improving indoor air quality. The air is moving too quickly past the UV light to be effective.

Without sufficient exposure time, these UV lights are no match for airborne microorganisms.

Our team prefers to focus on addressing common air quality issues, such as imperfect seals on bathroom and hood fans or open fireplace dampers, which often contribute to humidity and mold problems.

However, UV lights can keep the inside of your air handler clean. Every surface the light can reach will be sanitized. It has plenty of exposure time since the light is always on. So if you are looking to keep the interior of your air handler clean, UV lights are great!

But if you want something to clean the air in your house, UV lights will not give you the results you want.
