UV lights can be helpful for those who have severe allergies, etc.

The problem is that there are many different types of lights, cheap ones and quality ones. The cheaper lights may not have the output to do the job. Also, the cheaper units have bulbs that need replacing often, thus making those units more expensive in the long run.

Adding to this, many of the A/C companies see this as a huge profit maker. The installation of these are quite simple, and yet they add hundreds of dollars to the bill. There is sometimes little correlation between the quality of what you are getting and the price you pay the installer.

Do the research. Get guarantees. Be careful.

On a side note, I see over 400 A/C filters a year.....over half of them are a year old, dirty, filled with mold, etc. Do the easy stuff first folks...keep your filter clean and change them as needed.

Hope this helps.....Frank
