Microscopic mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses linger in the air, leading to allergies, asthma, respiratory disease and infection. These unseen biohazards can live and breed within your air conditioning systems' moist environment, encouraging micro-organisms to breed, multiply and grow. And once airborne, unseen particles can pose a serious health threat to you and your family.

Common Indoor Pollutants Include:

• Pollen
• Mold & Spores
• Bacteria & Viruses
• Dust Mites
• Pet Dander

Even the cleanest home can be a breeding ground for the micro-organisms that may live undetected within your air conditioning system.

Standard Dual UV includes two bulbs hard mounted to a single ballast. The Fresh-Aire UV Dual Bulb Air Handler Mount System provides you with the option of mounting your bulbs in an optimal way to maximize your results. With the ability to mount your bulbs in separate areas of your system you can enhance both desired results of UV disinfection. First by positioning one light above your coil you not only sterilize the coil surface but also the inner surfaces of the rest on the unit. Mounting the second bulb below the coil or in the return air box works additionally to provide hard surface disinfection in this area.

Typically, this will mean that one light set is located on the return air (incoming) side of your indoor furnace blower with the second set located on the supply air (outgoing) side. This doubles the exposure time that micro-organisms experience as they pass through the blower system. Twice the exposure translate to twice the effectiveness and twice the quantity of fresh clean air for your family to breath.

The Fresh-Aire UV™Air Handler (AHU) Mount Kit is designed for internal or external mounting of the UV power supply to accommodate tight installations.

The power supply is completely sealed for mounting in wet locations. In addition, the UV lamp cables incorporate a waterproof connector design with a 6’ lead to allow safe routing of cables within the air handler. The power lead is a water-resistant cord with a 110V plug, the multi-volt ballast allows you to cut off the plug and direct wire to your systems 220V power supply if more convenient.

UV lights are most effective when installed inside and shining on the air conditioning coil section of your existing furnace or electric air handler.

When installing your Fresh-Aire UV lights in a new air conditioning system we we normally recommend that you install one bulb above and one bulb below the A /C coil. Mounting the below bulb in the return so it’s light shines on the bottom of the coil and the inside of the return duct surfaces is considered optimal.

If space within the furnace/air handler does not permit, then one light set can be installed directly above the furnace or air handler in the ductwork. Installation, in most cases, will take under one hour. For best results, it is recommended that it be installed by a qualified air conditioning professional. If you are handy around electricity the simple instructions are easy to follow.

The photo to the left shows a dirty evaporator coil that exists in many air conditioning systems. In addition to the obvious detrimental effect on the air quality, this coil is reducing airflow by about 50%, resulting in higher operating costs.

The same coil is pictured on the right after being exposed to a UV light system for two to four weeks. The light has actually "scrubbed" the evaporator coil back to almost factory new condition -- with no caustic chemicals or expensive cleaning services. This coil was cleaned entirely by the effects of the UV light.
