Professional Air Scrubber Installation in Park City, UT

How does an air scrubber differ from a standard air filter?

A standard air filter captures airborne particles as air passes through it but has no effect on contaminants already present in your living spaces. An air scrubber uses UV light, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), or a combination of both to produce charged particles and oxidizing compounds that actively seek out and neutralize contaminants in the air and on surfaces throughout the home, not just in the airstream passing through the filter.

What contaminants does an air scrubber address in a Park City home?

Whole-home air scrubbers are effective against mold spores, bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds from building materials and cleaning products, pet dander, cooking odors, and wildfire smoke particulates. In Park City, where summer wildfire smoke regularly affects air quality and the dry mountain climate can encourage mold growth in poorly humidified homes, air scrubbers provide meaningful protection against the contaminants most likely to be present in your specific environment.

How much maintenance does a whole-home air scrubber require?

Whole-home air scrubbers require minimal maintenance, typically limited to UV bulb or PCO cell replacement once every one to two years depending on the system. Premier Strand provides a maintenance schedule specific to your installed system and can include air scrubber service as part of a broader HVAC preventative maintenance plan.

Is an air scrubber safe to operate continuously in my Park City home?

Yes. Whole-home air scrubbers installed within the HVAC system are designed for continuous operation and produce oxidizing compounds at levels that are safe for occupants and pets, well within the thresholds established by health and safety regulatory bodies. Premier Strand installs systems from manufacturers with established safety certification records and walks you through the operating specifications of your specific unit at installation.
