Is $1,100 to install a uv light to address stinky sock syndrome a fair price?

Project Details

The homeowner recently purchased a house with an older HVAC unit. After a period of inactivity during cold weather, the AC emitted a foul odor ('stinky sock syndrome'). Despite the HVAC company cleaning the coils twice with different solutions, the smell persists. The homeowner is hesitant about the UV light due to concerns regarding ozone production and ongoing maintenance.

Quote Details

Installation of a UV light system within the HVAC unit to eliminate persistent odors. - Intended to resolve 'stinky sock syndrome' - Recommended after two professional coil cleanings failed to remove the smell
