The way we live is changing. As we spend more time indoors at home and at work, the need for clean air, free from contaminants has never been more important. Choosing the right air purifier to improve indoor air quality is a big decision. You can’t see indoor pollutants and you can’t see airborne viruses. Using a portable HEPA Air Purifier like Austin Air Systems is a cost-effective way to ensure that contaminants are removed from the air.
Austin Air’s filters and proprietary 360° air intake system are unique in the air purification industry. Austin Air uses true medical-grade HEPA filter paper, 60 square feet total, in their purifiers, plus they also use Activated Carbon and Zeolite (780 cubic inches) which remove chemicals, gases, and odors (in both their HealthMate and Bedroom Machines). The HealthMate Plus filter features Potassium Iodide Impregnated Carbon and Zeolite, which removes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, benzenes, chemicals, gases, and odors. The Allergy Machine and Bedroom Machine both feature an advanced military carbon cloth (HEGA) placed inside the filter. This provides an extremely large surface area for the adsorption of chemicals, gases, viruses, and bacteria.
Other companies have plastic products and/or use sprayed-on paint, so their products emit harmful gases. Austin Air's products are made of steel and have a powder coat paint, which is baked on. This means that Austin Air purifiers do not off-gas.
Austin Air's products also feature a high-velocity airflow, which creates a clean air pocket around the user. The 360° intake system draws air into all sides of the purifier and then passes it through the filter. If you turn on an Austin Air cleaner next to a competitor’s unit, you can really feel the difference. Austin Air purifiers clean the air in most bedrooms in less than 15 minutes. Austin Air Cleaners use energy-efficient PSC motors which means that running your purifier uses less energy than some light bulbs.
Proven to remove pollutants in independent clinical trials carried out by leading university hospitals, and in government tests, Austin Air outperformed over 100 other air purifiers. This led to work with FEMA and the American Red Cross during some of America’s most challenging times, including 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2015 SoCal gas leak in California.
More recently they have been supplying an unprecedented number of schools, hospitals, and businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and this year they have also protected thousands of households on the west coast, as they experience one of the worst wildfire seasons on record.
Health Mate
The Austin Air HealthMate® was designed to address your everyday air quality concerns. It removes a wide range of airborne particles, including viruses such as COVI0-19 that are 0.1 microns and larger, bacteria, chemicals, gases, and odors. The Austin Air HealthMate will significantly improve the quality of air in your home.
HealthMate Plus
The Austin Air Healthmate Plus® effectively removes bacteria and aerosolized viruses larger than 0.1 microns. It also eliminates a wide range of gases, chemicals, VOC's and formaldehyde. This broad-spectrum adsorption makes it the best choice for people exposed to smoke from wildfires and offers dentists and their patients protection against COVID-19.
Allergy Machine
The Austin Air Allergy Machine® was developed specifically for people with asthma and allergies. Its unique design increases airflow, filtering allergens from the air immediately. The HEPA and HEGA filtration used in this unit are also highly effective at removing bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19, when they are airborne.
