Airborne transmission of contaminants within homes is often exacerbated by HVAC systems that, while efficiently distributing conditioned air, can inadvertently spread harmful particles from room to room. Inadequate filtration and disinfection contribute to this issue, as standard HVAC filters are not designed to capture or neutralize the most dangerous microscopic threats. Innovations in HVAC Air Filtration and Disinfection Fortunately, the HVAC industry has responded with advancements in air filtration and disinfection technologies beyond conventional methods. One such innovation is the introduction of non-thermal plasma systems, like Reviveaire’s Aireshield® technology. These systems enhance particulate filtration and actively disinfect the air circulating through HVAC units. The key to these systems lies in their ability to create an electrostatic charge that creates a confined cloud of ions (non thermal plasma), which rupture cell walls of airborne

ENSURING OPTIMAL INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) IN YOUR HOME: A FOCUS ON ADVANCED HVAC SOLUTIONS By Nick Agopian President, Reviveaire LLC

LI nick-agopian-3454864 Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of home health and comfort. Many homes rely on HVAC systems to maintain temperature, but few are equipped with advanced technologies designed to address the challenges posed by airborne contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, allergens, and more. With innovations in HVAC technology, ensuring that your indoor air is as clean and safe as possible is now within reach. Understanding the Threat of Airborne Contaminants Microscopic airborne particles can easily circulate through standard HVAC systems. These submicron- sized particles are significantly smaller than the pores of traditional filters, allowing them to pass through and recirculate in the air we breathe. This can include not only dust and pollen but also pathogens such as mold, viruses and bacteria.
