Frank M: The bulb burnt out upon delivery, I called so called customer support by requesting texting some random person who said he would send a bulb replacement but never did after several attempts. Note: the website displayed on the unit is obsolete. This is so unfortunate considering its a good product with good results resulting in much less mold accumulation on the ceiling vents here in Florida. If only this company would get its act together and provide it customers with actual customer service.

Al Black: This will provide a noticeable improvement to air quality, if you have less than ideal HVAC conditions. However the template is not the right size (maybe 10% too small) and the area around this unit will smell like a tanning salon for quite some time. Not sure if the build quality warrants the relatively high price tag of this unit.

Denis Brazeau: Installé sur un système central HVAC. Serait très facile à installer si le gabarit aurait les bonnes dimensions. J'ai du redécouper et repercer les trous de montages. Il s'agit d'une photocopie et les dimensions ne sont pas exactes. Mis à part, je viens de l'installer et ça semble bien fonctionner.

DennisM: The installation instructions, and template for drilling the required holes, make the job straightforward. There is a good online video showing the complete installation process. You will need a place to plug the purifier in, ideally on the same circuit as the furnace, within reach of the 9 foot cord that comes on the purifier.

If you are in any way unsure about working with ultraviolet light, then arrange for a furnace professional to hook it up.

John & Paula: The media could not be loaded.  For the money, you cant beat the price! We have 2 ac sytems, 1.5 ton in mother daughter building and 4 ton in main house. i was suffering from mold mildew in the smaller building which serves as my music studio where i spent a great deal of time until i started getting little black mold specs in phlem running down back of nasal passages, as well as nose running really bad after working in studio for hours. thought nothing of it until visit to respiratory dr who xrayed my chest and nothing was there.. THANK GOD i was terrified, next doc was ENT who scoped me and nothing bad there either. black stuff was dirt mold mildew stuff getting caught up in sinuses.. thats a nevage story now, but back to these units. Carpet in studio was OLD when we moved in 1.5yrs ago, so it was due, and the cause of my ailments. Its going, but after doing loads of research on in duct UV lights for killing mold spores, mildew, viruses, etc. I went on the hunt for a system that was inexpensive but would do the job and that i could install. AC company wanted 400$ plus for a unit and 800$ for installs!! NO WAY! So, after searching and reading, i decided on this system....

Bradshaw: INSTALLED: July 17, 2020 UPDATED: July 16, 2021 - Finally found one bulb out! You will need to get new bulbs with the G23 base and rated at 9 watts. Some bulbs mention the glass also filters out the ozone causing frequency radiation. I continue to be 100% satisfied with this unit after one year.

Original Post: Our HVAC system is from the 90s. One of the characteristics we noticed was how the air did have a 'wet basement wall' smell almost a moldy smell. Beginning each season we often would run the AC with the windows open for a day to get things breathed out. This I found out to be referred to as 'dirty sock syndrome'. Good name.
My first research about the topic found what others were doing to help reduce or eliminate the problem. Here is a list of different methods and results, you will often need to gain access to the evaporator coil:
1 - I could visually see some telltale mildew/mold sitting on the fins of the coil. I first used a coil cleaner like NuCalgon rinse-free cleaner. This is a chemical cleaner that does help clear the fins of dirt and mold. NuCalgon even makes one that is germicidal. RESULT: This does help the issue as it physically and chemically goes...

Jamie: I used a hole saw attached to a drill in conjunction with the template (included in the package) to create the two holes that the lamps fit through. I installed it above my filters and blower for maximum UV exposure/effect. I also installed in conjunction with the appropriate MERV rated filters for my furnace. The indoor air quality of my home has vastly improved. I no longer wake up with sore eyes, sore throat, or stuffy nose. I bought an older home (1966) and I was dealing with mildew spores and air quality issues.
