UV Light Installation in Tremonton, UT

Is a UV light worth adding to central air in Tremonton?

For a Tremonton home with central air, a UV light is worth adding when the indoor coil or drain pan keeps growing mold or slime, since the lamp helps keep those wet parts clean. It is a small add-on that works quietly inside your system. It will not fix every air problem, so it helps to know what it does. The lamp makes UV-C, an invisible kind of ultraviolet light that helps keep mold from growing on the surfaces it reaches. It does not catch dust, pollen or smoke. If those are your concern, filtration is the better tool. Tremonton is about 17 miles northwest of Brigham City in the Bear River Valley, and we install and maintain UV lights there.

Warning signs a UV light could help your Tremonton system

Growth found during a tune-up

If a technician has shown you dark growth on the coil or in the pan, the conditions for it are already there. Cleaning removes it, and a UV light helps keep it from coming back.

Air that smells like a damp basement

Air from the vents that smells like a damp basement when cooling starts is a sign that something inside the system is wet and growing.

A drain pan that overflows

Slime in the pan can plug the small drain line. Water then spills over and shows up on the floor near the furnace or air handler.

Common causes of coil growth in Tremonton homes

Dust on a wet surface

Seasonal dust in the Bear River Valley finds its way into homes. Whatever gets past the filter lands on the coil, and a wet, dusty coil is an easy place for mold to grow.

Moisture from cooling

Your AC wrings water out of the air. On hot summer days it runs long cycles, and the coil stays wet the whole time.

A coil that sits in the dark

The coil lives in a closed metal box. No light reaches it, and after the AC shuts off it stays damp for a while.

A dirty or poorly fitting filter

A filter that is clogged or does not fit its slot lets air slip around the edges, carrying dust straight to the coil.

What to expect when you add a UV light in Tremonton

We start with questions about what you have noticed, then look at the coil, pan, drain line and filter. If the real problem is a leaky duct, a loose filter or a clogged drain, we will tell you, and that fix may come before a UV light or replace the need for one.

When a UV light makes sense, we give you the price up front and wait for your okay. We mount the lamp so it shines on the coil, connect it to power and confirm it lights. You will see how to check that it is running without looking at the lamp itself. We also explain the upkeep: dust on the bulb blocks its light, and the bulb fades with use, so both cleaning and replacement are part of owning one.

UV light installation in Tremonton

Tremonton sits in the Bear River Valley in Box Elder County, about 17 miles northwest of our Brigham City base. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold with freeze-thaw cycles. Some homes in the area cool with a swamp cooler instead of central air. A UV light belongs in a central air or heat pump system with an indoor coil, so it is not part of a swamp cooler setup. Our Tremonton service area page covers what else we do in town.
