According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor environments can be twice as polluted as the outdoors. Whether you’re seeking the respite of your air conditioner during the hot California summer or cozying up to the heat during chilly months, the quality of your indoor air is vital for your health and well-being. With an air scrubber integrated into your HVAC system, you can boost your indoor air quality (IAQ) and breathe more easily than before.
Our professional and friendly service technicians at Service Champions can support the air quality needs of Northern California homeowners. Learn about air scrubbers for your home.
An air scrubber is a filtration device that removes particles, gasses, and other contaminants from your indoor air. Many refer to air scrubbers as air purifiers and, while these products perform similar tasks, there are several differences between air scrubbers vs. air purifiers. Air purifiers only filter airborne particles; air scrubbers remove contaminants from air and surfaces alike.
Residential air scrubbers are adapted to homes and provide their benefits with minimal noise disruption. They take two main forms — either a portable unit that’s lightweight and installation-free, or a whole-home unit that works seamlessly with your existing HVAC system.
At Service Champions, we’re proud to offer the Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology. Since 2013, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® technology has purified residential, healthcare, industrial, and other spaces of up to 99.9% of harmful contaminants.
Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology is the only air cleaning technology awarded the Certified Space Technology seal of approval by the Space Foundation (in cooperation with NASA).
Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology doesn’t just treat the air — it also helps clean the surfaces of your home, including your countertops, bathrooms, kitchens, and doorknobs. Installed directly into your forced air duct system, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology utilizes a set of unique components and systems to clean and purify the indoor air.
When your air conditioner, fan, or furnace turns on, air flows through the titanium dioxide-coated honeycomb matrix. The airborne contaminants and pathogens pass through a strong UV germicidal light that produces reactive and oxygen-based molecules to eradicate these airborne irritants. Air filters can trap pollutants, but only air purification systems such as air scrubbers actually remove contaminants and pathogens.
Many people who believe they have dust allergies are actually allergic to dust mites, microscopic creatures that are just as alive as any other living creature. UV light zaps and destroys dust mites as well as many bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.
While germicidal UV rays can reduce airborne contaminants that pass through its powerful rays, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology also actively sends air scrubbers into the indoor environment. Airborne contaminants transform into powerful oxidizers as they pass through the Air Scrubber ActivePure™ technology, which disseminates into the environment and helps eliminate pathogens in the air and on surfaces.
Reactive metals combined with UV light and a proprietary catalytic process transforms the particulates into charged clusters of hydrogen and oxygen (hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyls, and superoxide ions), which are antimicrobial agents found in nature.
These cleaners release back into indoor air to help destroy air- and surface-borne contaminants in the home. The scrubbers are effective against both organic and inorganic contaminants, such as gasses, fungi, volatile organic compounds, and offensive odors.
Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology attracts positive ions (the majority of particles in the home) by using negatively charged ions. Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology also has models available with ozone technology to enhance its ability to combat strong odors from pets, household products, smoke, and more.
Used in homes, hospitals, schools, and many other indoor spaces, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® carries numerous advantages.
In addition to filtering, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology also cleans, deodorizes, and purifies the air. According to Air Scrubber Aerus and peer-reviewed studies, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology reduces dust, dander, and odors in your home. By eliminating these contaminants, Air Scrubber with ActivePure® technology can help relieve and reduce:
Allergy symptoms
Chest tightness
Coughs
Nausea
Sinus problems
Dizziness
Eye, nose, and throat irritation
Fatigue
Headaches
Instead of using air fresheners that can hurt air quality, air scrubbers naturally reduce airborne toxins in your home. Whenever you turn on your air conditioner, furnace, or fan, the air scrubbers go to work, cleaning the air and surfaces with air scrubbing technology. Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology cleans, freshens, and purifies the air to eliminate odors from:
Bacteria
Pets
Cigarettes
Mold and mildew
Cooking
Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology can extend the lifespan and efficiency of your HVAC system. Instead of damaging and dirtying your HVAC system, air scrubbers can break up and eliminate indoor air contaminants, reducing strain and wear on your HVAC components related to particle or mold buildup. This translates to a longer-lasting HVAC system with fewer repairs and lower energy bills.

Studies show that Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology is safe and effective at purifying indoor air. It’s clinically proven to reduce dust, mold, pollen, and other indoor air contaminants. Likewise, studies from Harvard University, NASA, and other credible sources conclude that Air Scrubber with ActivePure® Technology is effective at improving indoor air quality, health, and wellness.
When used properly according to manufacturer instructions, air scrubbers are safe and offer health benefits to your household. ActivePure uses methods such as UV light, filtration, and oxidation processes to purify air, which don’t carry harmful side effects.
Measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), air scrubber ratings are based on the volume of air they can clean within a specific period. As such, larger rooms or homes may require an air scrubber with a corresponding higher CFM to ensure effective application.
