Partner With AirTech
Add HVAC-Integrated UVC to the Solutions You Can Offer Your Customers
AirTechnologies NZ works alongside HVAC contractors throughout New Zealand, providing specialist 254nm UVC technology, technical support and product selection for suitable HVAC and air-handling applications.
We don't replace HVAC contractors — we work alongside them.
Our aim is to give your team another technical solution to consider when customers are experiencing recurring microbial growth, biofilm, coil contamination, moisture-related issues, odour, indoor air quality concerns or difficult-to-maintain HVAC equipment.
Whether you're servicing an existing system, quoting an upgrade or designing a new installation, AirTech can help assess whether UVC is appropriate and recommend a solution for the application.
CREATING HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENTS
Another Tool in Your HVAC Toolkit
HVAC contractors are often the first to identify what's happening inside a building's mechanical systems.
You see the coils.
You see the drain pans.
You see the systems requiring repeated cleaning.
And you see when the same problems keep coming back.
In suitable applications, HVAC-integrated UVC can provide an additional layer of continuous microbial control within the system, complementing normal filtration, ventilation, cleaning and preventative maintenance.
Rather than relying solely on periodic cleaning, UVC can be positioned to continuously irradiate areas such as cooling coils, drain pans and other suitable internal surfaces where moisture and biological build-up can occur.
When Could UVC Be Worth Considering?
Talk to AirTech when you come across:
Recurring microbial growth or biofilm
Mould or biological build-up around cooling coils
Wet coils and drain pans
Musty or recurring HVAC odours
Coils requiring frequent cleaning
Difficult-to-access internal HVAC components
Indoor air quality concerns
Healthcare or clinical environments
Food manufacturing and processing facilities
Laboratories and controlled environments
Schools and early childhood centres
Gyms and high-occupancy buildings
Commercial properties looking to improve HVAC hygiene
Clients investigating HVAC performance or lifecycle improvements
New HVAC installations where UVC could be incorporated during design
Not every HVAC system needs UVC, and not every system is suitable.
That's where we can help.
We Work Alongside You — Not in Competition With You
Your HVAC customer stays your HVAC customer.
AirTech specialises in UVC technology. We are not looking to replace your existing service, maintenance, refrigeration or mechanical relationships.
Instead, we can provide specialist UVC knowledge when you identify an application where the technology may add value.
That might mean simply helping you select the right product, reviewing photos and system information, assisting with system sizing, attending site with your team or developing a custom UVC solution for a larger application.
You retain the customer relationship while gaining access to specialist UVC support when you need it.
1. Identify an Opportunity
Your technicians identify a system or customer where UVC may be worth considering.
This could be recurring coil contamination, biofilm, moisture, odour, frequent cleaning, IAQ concerns or simply an opportunity to incorporate UVC into a new HVAC installation.
4. Installation
Depending on the project, the system can be installed by your suitably qualified team, or AirTech can work alongside you to assist with installation and commissioning.
Our goal is to make incorporating UVC into your existing HVAC offering as straightforward as possible.
2. Send Us the System Information
Depending on the application, we may ask for:
HVAC make and model
System type
Airflow
Coil dimensions
Photos of the equipment and available installation area
Drawings or mechanical plans where available
Operating conditions
Details of the problem you're trying to address
For smaller systems, product selection may be relatively straightforward.
Larger AHUs and commercial applications may require a more detailed assessment.
5. Ongoing Support
We're available for technical questions, replacement lamps, maintenance guidance, future projects and additional system assessments.
When another suitable application comes up, give us a call.
3. AirTech Helps Select the Solution
We'll review the application and help determine whether UVC is appropriate.
Where suitable, we'll recommend the UVC configuration based on factors such as system geometry, airflow, installation position, operating conditions and the intended treatment objective.
For larger or more complex applications, we can also assist with site assessment and custom system design.
From Heat Pumps to Large AHUs
AirTech supplies UVC solutions for a wide range of HVAC applications.
Depending on system design and suitability, UVC can be integrated within:
Heat Pumps & Split Systems
Compact UVC solutions for suitable high-wall, split and ducted systems.
Fan Coil Units
UVC positioned to provide ongoing treatment of suitable coils and internal surfaces.
Commercial HVAC Systems
Solutions for larger ducted systems and commercial mechanical equipment.
Air Handling Units
UVC configurations designed around coil geometry, airflow, available installation space and treatment objectives.
Cooling Coils & Drain Pans
Continuous irradiation of moisture-prone surfaces where microbial growth and biofilm can develop.
Duct & Airstream Applications
Where appropriate, UVC systems can also be designed for treatment of microorganisms within the moving airstream.
Custom Applications
For equipment that doesn't fit a standard product, AirTech can assess the application and develop a project-specific UVC configuration.

Why Add UVC to Your Offering?
Solve Recurring Problems
When cleaning addresses the immediate contamination but microbial growth repeatedly returns, UVC may provide an additional preventative strategy.
Support Cleaner HVAC Equipment
Continuous UVC exposure can help control susceptible microorganisms on irradiated HVAC surfaces and reduce biological build-up in suitable applications.
Provide Another IAQ Solution
UVC complements ventilation, filtration, cleaning and other established HVAC controls rather than replacing them.
Support HVAC Performance
Keeping heat-transfer surfaces cleaner may help maintain HVAC performance where biological fouling would otherwise affect coil condition and heat transfer.
Differentiate Your Business
Offering access to specialist UVC technology gives your team another solution to discuss with customers looking at HVAC hygiene, indoor air quality and building performance.
Create Additional Project Opportunities
UVC can be considered during servicing, HVAC upgrades, refurbishments and new installations, giving your team another potential value-add for existing customers.
UVC Complements Good HVAC — It Doesn't Replace It
AirTech doesn't position UVC as a replacement for good HVAC design or maintenance.
Effective indoor environmental management may include a combination of:
Ventilation
Bringing appropriate outdoor air into the building.
Filtration
Capturing particles from the moving airstream.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Maintaining equipment and removing accumulated contamination.
UVC
Providing continuous microbial treatment at suitable locations within the HVAC system.
The right solution depends on the building, HVAC configuration and problem being addressed.
UVC is another tool — not the entire toolbox.
Technical Support When You Need It
You don't need to become a UVC specialist to offer UVC to your customers.
That's our job.
AirTech can assist with:
Product selection
System sizing
Application assessment
Technical product information
Installation guidance
HVAC integration support
Site assessments
Custom UVC configurations
Commercial project support

Already Have a Potential Application?
Send it through.
For an initial assessment, photos of the HVAC equipment along with the make/model, airflow and coil dimensions where available are often enough for us to start looking at the application.
If it's a larger or more complex system, we can arrange a site visit or work through the system with your team.
Let's Work Together
AirTechnologies NZ is proudly New Zealand owned and operated, with experience across HVAC and electrical industries and support available for projects throughout New Zealand.
If your team comes across recurring HVAC contamination, biofilm, wet coils, difficult cleaning, IAQ concerns or another application where UVC might be worth exploring, we'd be happy to take a look.
One system, one problem or one pilot is often the best place to start.
