Coil and Airstream Care
REME HALO and iWave UV Lights in New Bern, NC
GP Heating & Cooling is a family-owned and locally-owned company based in New Bern, NC. We offer REME HALO and iWave UV lights that help reduce microorganisms on the evaporator coil and in the airstream. Every recommendation begins with your furnace, heat pump or air conditioner, because placement and fit matter as much as the lamp itself. Backed by 22 years of experience, our team explains where a light would sit and what it can and cannot do. You decide whether a UV light belongs in your home.
Why Choose Us
What Sets Our UV Light Company Apart in New Bern
A UV lamp performs best when it is matched to the coil, airflow and equipment it serves, so we hold every recommendation to the standards below.
Family ownership in every placement decision
As a family-owned and locally-owned business, we treat a UV light as a lasting part of your home rather than a quick add-on. We put our reasoning in writing so your household can review it at its own pace. Families who want to know who will be working in their home can read more about our team on our About Us page.
Coil-focused reasoning
UV lamps are most often considered for the evaporator coil and the airstream beside it. We check the coil’s condition, its drainage and the lamp position before suggesting a model. A light placed without that review can add cost without helping the part of the system you care about.
REME HALO and iWave options
We offer REME HALO and iWave UV lights, two product lines with different mounting and lamp features. We walk through both so you can compare how each fits your air handler, duct layout and comfort goals. Each product’s mounting approach matters, so we confirm clearance before anything is ordered.
Experience behind each placement
GP Heating & Cooling was established in 2022, and our work is backed by 22 years of experience in heating and cooling. That background helps us read where a lamp fits inside an air handler or duct run. We keep current on the equipment we install, so our advice reflects how these products perform today.
An honest review before any purchase
We inspect your air handler, filter location and airflow before presenting any UV option. We explain what we find in plain language, and you choose which steps to pursue. We also point out simple checks you can handle between visits, such as watching for a change in odor near the vents.
Payment options and planned care
Qualifying indoor air projects can be spread out through Service Finance, and our maintenance plan keeps connected equipment on a regular schedule. Review our financing options or our maintenance plan details when you plan your next step.

Step By Step
How a UV Light Project Moves From Review to Handoff
Each UV light project follows the same sequence, so you know what happens and why before any part is installed. Every step ends with an explanation you can review.
Step 1 of 5
Coil and Airstream Assessment
We start by learning what the system does well and where you have noticed trouble. Your observations guide which parts of the system we inspect first.
- Ask about musty odors, visible moisture and allergy concerns in the household.
- Note any seasonal changes in odor, especially when the system first starts.
- Compare what you notice with how long the system has been running each season.
- Review the age, brand and service history of the furnace, heat pump or air conditioner.
- Inspect the evaporator coil for visible growth, debris and drainage problems.
- Record the findings and explain them before moving to the next step.
Step 2 of 5
Equipment and Placement Check
A UV light has to sit where its lamp can reach the coil and airstream, and where the housing can be accessed for service. We confirm both before comparing products.
- Locate the air handler, its access panel and the space around the evaporator coil.
- Confirm the blower, duct connections and filter slot are in good working order.
- Check the electrical supply and the space available for the lamp housing.
- Identify the mounting point that keeps the lamp enclosed within the system.
- Note any airflow restrictions that could limit how well the lamp performs.
- Share the placement options and explain why each one fits or does not fit your equipment.
Step 3 of 5
Lamp and Model Comparison
REME HALO and iWave lights differ in housing, mounting and lamp features, so we compare them against your equipment and your goals.
- Review each model’s mounting requirements against your air handler.
- Compare the lamp life and replacement schedule the manufacturer lists for each product.
- Confirm how each option fits your current filter size and filter cabinet.
- Explain how each option works alongside your existing air filter.
- Discuss the ongoing care each product requires, so you know what to expect.
- Give you time to decide, with no product ordered until you approve it.
Step 4 of 5
Professional Installation and Startup
Once you approve a recommendation, our team installs the lamp with careful attention to placement, enclosure and connections. We keep the work area tidy as we go and review each change with you before we leave the home.
- Mount the lamp in the approved location inside the air handler or duct.
- Secure the wiring and confirm the housing is enclosed as the manufacturer intends.
- Confirm the blower and thermostat respond normally after the installation.
- Check airflow at supply registers in the rooms you described during the review.
- Run the system through a normal operating cycle before finishing the visit.
Step 5 of 5
Homeowner Walkthrough and Written Handoff
We finish by making sure you understand the new equipment and how to keep it working. You leave with written documentation for your records.
- Show where the lamp indicator is located and what its status signals mean.
- Explain the lamp replacement schedule listed for your model.
- Review warranty information and any registration steps for the product.
- Provide written documentation of the installed equipment and its settings.
- Answer your questions about how the lamp works alongside your filter and thermostat.
- Explain how a furnace maintenance visit can include a UV lamp check along with the rest of the system.
Common Questions
UV Light Questions Answered
Placement depends on your air handler and the location of the evaporator coil. Many lamps are mounted near the coil so the light reaches the surfaces and airstream where microorganisms tend to collect. Our team confirms the mounting point during your assessment and explains why it suits your equipment. The lamp sits inside the system, so no fixture is added to your living space.
A UV light can help reduce microorganisms on the coil surface and in the air passing over it. It does not remove dirt, dust or debris, so routine cleaning and inspection still matter. Our team reviews the coil’s condition before recommending a light, so you know what the lamp can and cannot address.
When installed inside the heating and cooling system as the manufacturer intends, the lamp sits within the air handler or duct and is not exposed in the living space. Our team confirms the enclosure, wiring and access panel during installation. We also review each model’s safety guidance with you. For specific health questions, please speak with your physician.
Lamp life is set by the manufacturer for each model. Because specifications vary, we review the listed lamp life with you before any purchase. At installation, we note the replacement schedule and include it in your written handoff. A planned visit is also a good time to confirm the lamp is still working as expected.
In many homes, yes. A UV light can be added to a furnace, a ducted heat pump or an air conditioner when the air handler is compatible and there is room near the coil. Our team checks the model, airflow and access before recommending a placement. Some systems need a different mounting option. For new equipment, see our heat pump installation options.
No product can guarantee that mold will be eliminated. A UV light can help reduce microorganisms on the coil and in the airstream, but mold usually starts with moisture. During the assessment, we look for condensate problems, leaks and poor airflow that encourage growth. If growth is visible on a furnace, a furnace repair visit can identify the cause.
Both are UV light products we install, but they differ in housing, mounting and lamp features. The best choice depends on your air handler, coil and available space. We compare both models during the assessment and explain each option in plain language. Our goal is to recommend what your equipment can support, not the longest feature list.
Share the age and brand of your furnace, heat pump or air conditioner if you know them, plus notes from your last service visit. Describe any musty odors, allergy concerns or visible moisture near the air handler, and tell us which rooms feel stuffy or uneven. Photos of the air handler and filter slot can help us prepare for your first review.
Yes. A UV light needs periodic inspection to confirm the lamp is working, the housing is clean and the wiring remains secure. Lamp replacement follows the manufacturer’s schedule. A planned visit can include these checks along with coil and airflow inspection. Our air conditioning maintenance visits show how these checks fit routine care.
A UV light is an add-on, so it does not replace the thermostat, blower or heating and cooling components. Our team confirms the wiring during installation and checks that the blower and thermostat respond normally afterward. You should notice the system running as it did before. If anything seems different, call us and we will review it with you.
