UV Light Installation in Ogden, UT

Has the UV lamp in your Ogden HVAC system stopped glowing?

If the UV lamp in your Ogden home's HVAC system has stopped glowing, the bulb, its power supply or a safety switch is usually the cause, and we can repair it or install a new UV light. There is a catch most people do not know about. A UV bulb can keep glowing after it has stopped doing much, because the blue light you see lasts longer than the UV-C output that does the work. So a lamp that still glows may be due for a new bulb too. These lamps mount in your system near the indoor coil, where they help keep mold and slime from growing on the coil and drain pan. Ogden is about 19 miles south of Brigham City in Weber County, and we install, clean and replace UV lights there.

Warning signs your Ogden UV light needs service

No glow in the view window

Many lamps have a small window or indicator on the outside of the cabinet. If it is dark, the lamp is off, burned out or not getting power.

The musty smell is back

If a smell went away after a UV light was put in and has now returned, the lamp may be weak, dirty or switched off.

Growth on the coil again

A technician who finds fresh growth on a coil that has a UV light is seeing a lamp that is no longer reaching it well.

No one remembers the last bulb change

UV bulbs wear out with use. If you do not know when yours was last changed, it is worth a check.

Common causes of UV light problems in Ogden homes

An aging bulb

UV bulbs lose strength the longer they run. They wear out on a schedule even when nothing seems wrong.

Dust on the bulb

Dust in the air stream settles on the glass and blocks the light. Ogden summers can bring dust and occasional wildfire smoke, which add to that film.

A failed power supply

The ballast is the small part that powers the lamp. If it fails, a new bulb will not light.

A safety switch left open

Some lamps have a switch that cuts power when a panel is opened. If the panel was not seated right after a filter change, the lamp may stay off.

What to expect when we service or install a UV light in Ogden

We check the lamp, the bulb, the power supply and any safety switch, then look at the coil and drain pan to see how well the light has been working. If the coil has growth on it again, we explain whether it needs cleaning.

You hear your options and the price before anything is done. That might be a cleaned bulb, a new bulb, a new power supply or a new UV light. Bulbs have to match the fixture, so we bring the right part or get it for you. For a new install, we mount the lamp where it reaches the coil and pan. Either way, we confirm the lamp is on and show you how to check it without looking at the bulb directly.

UV light installation in Ogden

Ogden homes range from older houses in established neighborhoods to newer subdivisions, and a UV light can be added to a central air or heat pump system in either. Hot, dry summers mean long AC runs that keep the coil wet, and cold winters keep the furnace blower moving air across the same coil.
