viruses can be killed in your office air system.

People take risks every day. They choose to drive to work, participate in sports, travel by airplane and more. But what many home and business owners don’t realize is the daily risk of being indoors in an unhealthy environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend about 90% of their time inside — where contaminants can be two to five times higher than outdoor pollutants!

When we’re not careful, the air we breathe can literally make us sick.

Types of solutions.

Let’s clear the air. we are trained for this.

Bipolar ionization

Ions contain an electrical charge, positive and negative, and exist in nature at different sizes. Many harmful chemicals in the air we breathe are positive ions, which work against us by suppressing our immune systems.

Ultraviolet disinfection

Ultraviolet (UV) light has been well-established in the industry as a powerful way to keep HVAC coils, drain pans and other surfaces clean, and may help prevent and reduce the spread of viruses and other airborne pollutants.

MERV 13+ filtration

According to ASHRAE, a standard MERV 8 filter is only 20% efficient at capturing particles 1-3 micrometers in size. Filters with a MERV 13 rating become 85% efficient at filtering harmful contaminants like viruses.
