When it comes to installing a UV light, the most important step is finding the right location. You want to make sure that the light is placed in an area where it will be most effective in killing mold and mildew. If the UV light is installed in the wrong spot, it will greatly reduce its effectiveness. If you feel that your air purifier isn't getting enough UV light, you can always install an additional lamp in a different location or on the other side of the coil. If mold has already grown in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, and there is a specific corner or area of the air conditioner prone to mold formation, then you should install the UV light so that it illuminates that area as much as possible.
The first step in installing a UV oven lamp is to determine the best location for the oven or air controller. Some air conditioning units come with UV lamps already installed, but others require you to buy and install one yourself. When installing a UV lamp, you'll need some materials to get started. A drill saw is necessary if you don't already have one. This will allow you to make a circular hole through the metal cover of the air conditioning (or ducts).
After determining the best spot for the lamp, you'll need to drill one or two holes in the indoor air controller so that the UV bulb can penetrate inside. Once you've connected the UV light, simply turn on the unit's power switch and check the peephole to make sure that the UV light is actually on. If blue light is emanating from the unit, but it no longer emits sufficient frequency of UV-C light, then it's time to replace it.
What Materials Are Needed for Installing a UV Light?
Installing a UV light requires some basic materials. You'll need a drill saw to make a circular hole through the metal cover of your air conditioning (or ducts). Additionally, you'll need one or two screws to secure the lamp in place.Finally, you'll need a replacement bulb if your current one isn't emitting enough UV-C light.
How Do I Install a UV Light?
Installing a UV light is relatively straightforward. First, determine where you want to place your lamp. Make sure that it's in an area where it will be most effective in killing mold and mildew. Then use your drill saw to make a circular hole through the metal cover of your air conditioning (or ducts).After that, secure your lamp with one or two screws and connect it to your power source. Finally, turn on your unit's power switch and check the peephole to make sure that your UV light is actually on.
