How Do UV Air Purifiers Work?
UV air purifiers use UV-C light — a powerful type of ultraviolet light — to neutralize and kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It’s installed in your HVAC system’s air handler, so any air circulated through your home passes under the light.
Other Types of Air Filtration
There are a few types of HVAC filtration systems, including:
- Pre-filters are standard 1-inch filters that all HVAC systems have. They capture large airborne particles to extend the main filter’s lifespan and reduce the need for frequent filter changes.
- HEPA filters are the most common type of advanced filtration. They’re effective at capturing even the smallest particles, including pollen, pet dander, dust, and other contaminants.
- Carbon filters are great for trapping odors, chemicals, and gases from the air. They’re also highly effective against harmful fumes and smoke.
- Ionic filters release charged ions into the air, which attach to airborne contaminants and neutralize them.
UV-C lights are typically best paired with a HEPA filter, but UAT’s technicians will assess your home to recommend the best solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contaminants do air purifiers remove?
UV air purifiers neutralize harmful airborne particles like mold, bacteria, and viruses.
What's the difference between whole-home and portable air purifiers?
Whole-home air purifiers work for your entire house, while portable air purifiers only treat the air in a single room.
Whole-home air purifiers are generally better as they clean the air in every room, offer more powerful filtration, and require less maintenance.
What's the difference between UV and HEPA filtration?
HEPA filters are physical filters that trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, such as dust and pet dander.
UV light kills bacteria and viruses but doesn’t trap particles. UV light is typically used with other filtration methods like HEPA filters.
