Eliminates Need For Duct Work Cleaning

Three tiers of benefits:

Level 1—HVAC system efficiency:

UV-C eliminates and/or prevents the buildup of organic material on the surfaces of cooling coils, drain pans, and interior duct surfaces. This improves airflow, returns and maintains the heat-transfer levels of cooling coils to 'as-built' capacity, and reduces maintenance.

Level 2—IAQ:

UV-C improves airflow levels and eliminates organic material on surfaces, which helps improve indoor air quality (IAQ) by reducing pathogens and odors. This improves occupant productivity, boosts comfort levels, and reduces sick time.

Level 3—economic impact:

The impact that UV-C has on mechanical systems and occupants translates into substantial economic benefits, including reductions in energy consumption, energy cost, and carbon footprint. On average, UV-C slashes 10% to 25% of HVAC energy use.

Easy Installation

1. Locate Galvanized Duct, and attach mounting template to duct.

2. Drill hole in duct with 2 7/8” hole saw. (Drill Bit Included).

3. Mount unit with 3 screws (included).

4. Insert bulb. Plug Air Sanitizer into power source.

The UVC light continuously cleans the coil and drain pan, making your system run more efficiently. This lowers HVAC energy costs by improving heat transfer and increasing net cooling capacity resulting in less energy use and lower utility bills.

Guards your family 24/7/365 for less than operating a 20 Watt light bulb.

Indoor Air Quality

Most occupants are concerned about indoor air quality (IAQ). Mold, bacteria, viruses, mildew, pet dander and mites are all linked to a host of health problems including eye irritation, headaches, allergies, respiratory problems—triggers for asthma. In fact, the U.S. EPA says these pollutants are often two to five times higher indoors than outdoors!

A/C systems are typically inaccessible and a reservoir for mold, bacteria and slime that can circulate throughout any dwelling. According to the American Academy of Asthma and Immunology, more than 1 out of 4 Americans suffer from these pollutants—and the Center for Disease Control says it’s even higher now! Bio Shield UV-C Air Sanitizer’s (BUVAS) powerful UV-C lamp destroys these irritants.

    Works but not an easy install
    I purchased this light to install between coil and blower fan. The only way to do that was to cut a hole in the metal cabinet. It is not easy as you see in the video. I used the tool provided, but I had to drill on lower revs for around 2 mins to get the hole. Then I had to install pilot holes for the screws as you cannot put the screws without them. Finally I was able to get the whole thing installed. As you can see it is working.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017
    Super easy to install, and includes ALL parts that you need . . . EVEN the Hole Saw is included. It's been running for 6 months without an issue now . . . Can't ask for anything more for the price, and significantly cheaper and higher quality than the other brands sold by my local AC duct cleaning crews.

    Update on 06/06/2018:
    I'm not changing my Star review (yet), but my Bio-Shield failed in my big/main AC unit in my attic. The holder for the lamp melted where the electrical contacts are (thankfully there was no fire issue, because most of the holder is ok). However, the customer services from Joneca, so far, has been outstanding and that's why I'm not changing my Star review! I submitted my info. easily in their online contact form, and they called me back almost immediately (same day). Then they immediately shipped me out a replacement after simply sending proof of purchase from Amazon.

    So, I'm waiting to receive the replacement, and will definitely update my review based on the performance of the replacement. I'll be keeping a closer eye on this one for risk of fire and/or failure.
