Save on HVAC Maintenance, Energy, & Equipment Life
Every building can benefit from ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). Installing a Fresh-Aire UV UVGI system will result in significant energy and maintenance savings. These systems also improve indoor air quality for building occupants by reducing airborne biological contaminants and toxic VOCs. We offer practical solutions for all industrial, medical, retail, corporate, and hospitality applications.

Ozone-Free
ASHRAE now clearly states that ozone is
harmful and should not be used in occupied
spaces. Fresh-Aire UV Commercial Series UV-C lamps are certified to produce no ozone, and our APCO Rack System actually removes it from the air!
COIL DISINFECTION
Biological fouling (usually caused by mould) is a common problem in commercial air handlers. The cool, moist interior of the air system is an ideal breeding-ground for mould. A biofilm of only 0.002” can reduce efficiency by 37%! Unfortunately the conventional cleaning procedures used to kill mould are expensive, labour intensive, and use harsh chemicals which are themselves a source of environmental contamination and a health risk to maintenance workers.
The good news is that UVGI is proven to sterilise cooling coils continuously, 24/7, safely, and cost-effectively. The Fresh-Aire UV Commercial Series Standard “L” System, Tubular Rack System, and APCO Rack System are all designed to stop biological fouling on the coils and will quickly pay for themselves in energy and maintenance savings.
The Fresh-Aire UV Commercial Series Standard “L” System and Tubular Rack System are both ideal for coil disinfection. The APCO Rack System reduces odours and VOCs in addition to disinfecting coils. maller commercial air systems (up to 7.5 tons) can use one of our AHU Series 1 products for coil disinfection.
Standard UV System (TUVC)
The Fresh-Aire Standard Commercial UV System features high-quality water-resistant lamps with convenient “L” mounting brackets. Also included is our heavy-duty Multi-voltage water-resistant power supply which comes with a lifetime warranty.
Choose normal-output lamps for surface and air treatment or optional high-output lamps for intensive air treatment.
Tubular Rack System (TUVC-TRS)
This is our most popular commercial product. The Fresh-Aire UV Tubular Rack System offers easy, flexible installation and includes all the clamps and mounting hardware necessary for mounting. It’s designed for use with standard 1/2″ EMT tubing or use our optional custom steel tubing.
Choose normal-output lamps for surface and air treatment or optional high-output lamps for intensive air treatment.
ODOR/VOC REDUCTION
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the source of nearly all odours. Unpleasant odours in a business, medical, or animal care facility can be a real problem. VOCs are not only the source of unpleasant odours, they can also be toxic. Chemicals like formaldehyde, acetone, and toluene are significant health risks and contribute to indoor air pollution.
APCO technology from Fresh-Aire UV, which was initially developed for residential whole-house duct mounted air purifiers, has been adapted for larger commercial systems with the APCO Rack System. This award-winning technology uses a unique combination of UV-C light, activated carbon, and titanium dioxide to safely adsorb and neutralise VOC molecules in the air as it passes through the HVAC system. APCO technology produces no ozone. For smaller systems consider a duct-mounted APCO system Residential APCO page.
APCO carbon cells trap and hold VOC molecules so they can be neutralised by a process called photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). The PCO reaction also keeps the cells clean so they should never need to be replaced.
APCO Rack System (TUV-C-APCO)
Our most advanced commercial product adds our award-winning APCO gas-phase air purification technology to the Tubular Rack System. APCO cells contain activated carbon infused with titanium dioxide which reacts with UV-C light to capture and catalyzes odour-causing and potentially toxic VOCs. Proper use of the APCO Rack System can reduce the amount of outside air needed for ventilation according to ASHRAE Standard 62.1.
AIRBORNE DISINFECTION
Airborne infectious diseases are one of the most serious threats to health related to HVAC equipment. In settings such as hospitals, clinics, yoga studios, elder care and veterinary facilities airborne pathogens can be spread by the air system threatening the health of patrons and exposing facility owners to liability risks.
Fortunately Fresh-Aire UV has a solution. Our Airborne Disinfection System equipped with high-output UV-C lamps kills airborne pathogens 24/7.
Airborne Duct System (TUV-C-ADS)
This product is ideal for hospitals and other applications where airborne germicidal disinfection is a priority. It is installed in HVAC ducts to maximise exposure time with the air. Because exposure to surface materials is limited this system uses our high-output 32″ UV lamps for maximum airborne kill. Choose grid or radial configuration. More lamps can be added as needed depending on duct size and length.
ROOM DISINFECTION
Another application for high-output germicidal UV light is sterilisation of room surfaces. It is critical for facilities such as hospitals, veterinary clinics, and food processing centres to limit the spread of biological contaminants as much as possible. The Environmental Surface Disinfection System (ESDS) from Fresh-Aire UV Commercial Series addresses the need for surface disinfection in spaces that are prone to biological contamination or where biohazards must be kept to an absolute minimum.
ESDS Room Disinfection System
The Environmental Surface Disinfection System uses germicidal UV-C light to disinfect room surfaces when the area is unoccupied. The UVGI system features overhead mounted high-output germicidal UV-C light fixtures. Each unit comes with an internal electronic power supply and door interlock safety switches. The Fresh-Aire UV lamps included with ESDS are of the highest quality hard quartz and are encased in a shatter-proof Teflon safety coating. Features a metal fixture with enclosed 120 or 230 VAC power supply, 1 or 2 high-output 12000 hour UV-C lamps. 1 or 2 lamp models are available.
SMALL SYSTEMS
Not all commercial HVAC applications are large. We also make germicidal UV systems for PTACs, Fan Coils, Mini-splits, and smaller air handlers. Our magnet-mounted Tight-Fit Kit is ideal for PTACs and Fan Coils and our Mini UV is designed specifically for Mini-split AC systems. Furnaces and air handlers up to 7.5 tons can benefit from an APCO, AHU Series 1, or Blue-Tube UV system. The APCO Mag System is particularly well-suited for roof-top package units.
We also make Ice UV systems for ice machines of all sizes.
Tight-Fit Kit
The Fresh-Aire UV Tight-Fit Kit makes it possible to realise all the benefits of germicidal UV light in limited space applications including most of the fan coil units and PTACs found on the market today. The kit provides a means for locating the UV light within these units for optimum UV exposure particularly where space is limited.
