Improve Your Indoor Air Quality with a UV Light

December 1, 2023 - Published by Scott's Air

In the quest for a healthier and more comfortable living environment, homeowners are increasingly turning to innovative solutions. One such solution gaining traction is the use of ultraviolet (UV) lights to enhance indoor air quality. At Scott’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of clean and breathable air. Let’s explore how UV lights can make a significant difference in the air you breathe every day.

Why UV Lights for Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality is a critical aspect of creating a safe and comfortable home. Traditional air filters are effective to a certain extent, but they may not capture all airborne particles, including bacteria and viruses. This is where UV lights come into play. UV-C light, a specific range of ultraviolet light, has the power to eliminate or deactivate harmful microorganisms, providing an added layer of protection for you and your family.

UV lights are particularly effective in reducing the presence of mold and bacteria within the HVAC system. As air circulates through the system, the UV light works to sterilize the air, preventing the growth of these contaminants. This not only ensures cleaner air but also contributes to the longevity of your HVAC system.

The Benefits of UV Lights in Your HVAC System

Investing in UV lights for your HVAC system brings a myriad of benefits to your indoor air quality. Here are some key advantages:

Microbial Control: UV lights effectively target and control the growth of mold, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms.
Allergen Reduction: By neutralizing airborne allergens, UV lights can alleviate allergy symptoms and create a more comfortable living space for allergy sufferers.
Improved Respiratory Health: Cleaner air promotes better respiratory health, reducing the risk of respiratory issues for you and your family.
Extended HVAC System Lifespan: The sterilizing effect of UV lights helps keep your HVAC system clean, reducing wear and tear and extending its overall lifespan.

Considerations When Using UV Lights

While UV lights offer remarkable benefits, it’s important to consider a few factors before incorporating them into your HVAC system:

Proper Installation: Ensure that UV lights are installed correctly within the HVAC system to maximize their effectiveness.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial to keep the UV lights operating at peak performance. Consult with a professional technician for routine inspections and replacements.
Safety Measures: UV-C light can be harmful to the eyes and skin. It’s essential to install UV lights in a way that prevents direct exposure.

Lite A Yard

UPDATE 12/11/25-
Mr. Scott, the owner took the time to speak with me the day before to take ownership of the unfortunate event, and to rectify it, he personally came over to speak to me and issued a refund for the blower motor replacement to honor me being a customer and purchasing the unit from them in recent times. This speaks a lot about his integrity and customer centric approach. Even though I didn’t hear from them initially for a few months, this was a great gesture in difficult times, and I appreciate this, therefore updating my review.

STAY AWAY!!!

I purchased a new AC system from Scott’s Air & Heat in 2022 for approximately $7,000. Since then, I have already spent over $1,500 on repairs in 2 years. Despite the system having a 10-year parts warranty, I was charged $650 for labor alone to replace a blower motor—a repair that took about one hour to complete. Another reputable company quoted $500 total, including both parts and labor, for the same job.

Additionally, I was charged $258 for the same issue just a week prior, and when the problem recurred, the company billed me again instead of honoring their previous service. Attempts to reach the owner or manager for a resolution went unanswered.

Overall, I found their pricing to be excessive and their customer service severely lacking. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Response from the owner:Hi, Thank you for taking Scott's call today & allowing us to make this right. We're looking forward to meeting you tomorrow with the hopes of being able to earn your 5-star rating. We genuinely care for our customers and their families and want you to be 100% satisfied. Thank you again.

It’s been a long process, but Scott did call personally to make sure that our ac unit was working properly. They even upgraded to the correct size unit we needed after many repairs and issues. I appreciate the follow through and transparent communication! They will make sure to follow up and help when needed. Thank you Scott and team!!!!

Response from the owner:Hi Robin, Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to make this right. We're happy to hear your system is running good now & we were able to turn your experience around. Thank you for trusting us with your home.

Same day update! I want to applaud Scott, the owner, for contacting me about my concerns regarding the labor charge for our last job. It was a disappointment that I had to have such an expensive charge on a relatively new unit. However, we talked about it, and he’s going to try to help. I appreciate any owner who listens to customers and wants to try to make things right. Thank you, Scott. I guess I don’t have to shop around for a new AC company for now.

Just to clarify. My response says that I’m frustrated to pay for labor for a warranty repair. I didn’t understand this was a warranty repair and I always am fine with paying for labor if a job is done. I believe my review explains my frustration with flat fees no matter how long the job takes.

Update today. The price that was quoted me was not only labor. They are charging flat fees for jobs. This is a change from the past with HVAC companies , but with more explanation and a little flexibility, I think we will stay with Scott’s for the time being. We’ll see how it goes. They still remain extremely responsive and professional and kind. This is worth something. They also come quickly when you have a problem.

This is a big change in my review for this company. Over the past five years things have changed. The company I used to trust I am now very skeptical of. They no longer charge labor by the hour so that you pay more for something that is more difficult and less for something that is less difficult. Just flat fees. And extremely high ones at that! Guess I’m looking for a new company now.

Response from the owner:Hi Karon, Thank you for trusting us with your home all these years. I can understand your frustration in having to pay labor for a warranty repair. The warranty from the manufacturer (not us) only covers the part itself. We value our customers and our community & want to make sure we take care of you and your home. We've left you a message & hope you'll return our call so we can make this right.
