UV light on HVAC question

Bullshit. He's lying.

Now you know why he suggested it.

Dunno offhand, but a damned sight less than $ 1,000.

Tell her to never hire him again.

I have checked out various websites, but it's hard for me to know what the truth is. Most, or all, of the websites have something to sell. I had never heard of adding UV lights to an HVAC system until now, and I don't know anyone who has a UV light in their HVAC system. So, that's why I am curious what the truth is about this.

Hospitals use them to kill bacteria, viruses and mold spores. Its a pretty simple deal to install one in a residential application and although I cant quote the cost its no where near a grand for something for residential use.

Just a couple of Hundred at most with material and labor on a normal job. In fact the materials are getting cheaper as time gose by.

They have become quite common in homes that have someone with breathing problems and areas that have mold problems. You also might consider a good whole house dehumidifier if the mold problem is bad. A high hepa air filter might also help. Why don't you shop around for a reputable and educated HVAC shop for a consult.

Aparently, some short wave UV kills some kinds of mold or other growth. The UV bulbs they use are the "don't look at them, you'll go blind" kind. But, they are installed inside a metal duct where people don't look at them. How effective? I'm not sure. I've never worked on a system with a UV installed.

what a big surprise to everybody!

Notice how most of the simpletons s*it starts with, Im not sure.

But in Alt home repair, he is a genius (hehe)

Thats pretty scary.

Are you saying that you will look them over? ;-p

Is this some kind of a Christmas thing? Being cruel to dumb animals and Mormons? Merry Christmas Stormy, and the rest of you folks too.

Not necessarily. Crossposting from that group has dropped for possibly that reason alone. Stormy is our secret weapon.

Something special for Stormy from the tonight show & Conan Obrien and Oren Hatch

Naah, being cruel to animals is an all year sport.

Merry Christmas, Don.

Thanks! I near to fell off my chair, laughing. The Tapernacle quire was a hoot.

Jay I know what you saying there is lot of rip-offs artist out there however look up Manufacture specs. which you can trust perhaps little more then individual stores. Yes UV lights are use for many different things but most to kill bacteria and stop bugs from interring in the sensitive area, you will see them in most are all food processing plant and in hospitals at back doors ETC. WW Grainger is carrying them also. perhaps biggest problem for installation is space.

Awww Stormy finally found a boy friend. How sweet. lol
