UV-C lamps and in-duct purifiers that keep the coil clean and reduce microbial growth in the system.
UV Lights & Air Purifiers for Kendall buildings
Forty-year-old attic ducts in Kendall are often grey flex duct with a brittle outer jacket, or duct board with failed tape at every joint. Air lost in the attic never reaches the bedrooms at the end of the run. We pressure-test the duct system and show you the leakage figure before recommending sealing or replacement.
The indoor coil is cold, wet and dark, which makes it an ideal place for mould and bacteria to grow. A UV-C lamp mounted beside the coil keeps its surface and the drain pan clean, which protects airflow and cuts down the musty smell many Florida systems develop.
In-duct air purifiers go further and treat the air as it moves through the system. We explain what each technology does and does not do, and install units that are certified for low ozone emission.
Good reasons to add one
- Recurring musty or 'dirty sock' smell from the vents
- Visible growth on the coil or in the drain pan
- Drain line that clogs repeatedly
- Allergy or asthma sufferers in the home
Installation
- We clean the coil and pan first, since a UV lamp maintains a clean coil but does not scrub a dirty one.
- We mount the lamp or purifier at the coil or in the supply plenum and wire it to the system.
- We note the bulb replacement date, usually every one to two years.
UV Lights & Air Purifiers in Kendall: questions
Do UV lights remove dust?
No. UV-C light affects living organisms such as mould and bacteria. Dust and dander are captured by filtration, so the two are normally used together.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
