UV Lights & Air Purifiers for Miami Gardens buildings
Fifty-year-old ductwork is the weak point of many houses in Carol City and Norland: collapsed insulation, joints that have opened up, and returns that pull air from the garage or attic. A pressure test tells us how much air is being lost, and sealing or replacing the ducts often lowers the electric bill more than a new air conditioner would.
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 Miami Gardens: 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 Miami Gardens?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Miami Gardens requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by the City of Miami Gardens Building Services Division. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
My house in Miami Gardens still has an old electrical panel. Can I install a new AC?
Usually, but the panel and the breaker have to be rated for the new equipment. We check the panel during the estimate. If it needs an upgrade, a licensed electrician does that work under its own permit before the air conditioner is installed.
Why is one side of my house always hotter?
In single-storey block homes it is normally a duct problem: a disconnected or crushed run, or a system that was never resized after an addition. We measure airflow at every register and fix the cause, which costs far less than replacing the equipment.
