He recommended they install a "PROformance High intensity DUAL twin tube UV germicidal air purifier with odor control" for $2200. He says if I don't take care of it, the gunk will keep building and can lead to allergy and worse problems for the household. This is all new to me (being from California and Arizona with low humidity). For now I told him no and just clean it the best they can manually this time but I would do research. Any insight on this or are they just pushing products on me?

Thanks,

It's amazing that Florida has been air conditioned for 50 years and all of a sudden, you need to add UV treatment to be safe.
