Anyway, he sprayed some sort of disinfectant on the unit. I've checked it since and I haven't seen any return of the mold...

The UV light is supposed to kill the mold within the unit, but it is not very effective, and it is a waste of money. Some people will claim that a UV light will treat the supply air and purify it as it passes through the unit, but that claim is also bogus.
