Clean air is not only important, but essential to us all. However, some might say that clean air is not possible these days due to the constant degradation and air pollution. The cleanest environment, room, or air can still be filled with invisible and sometimes visible particles and dirt that could be detrimental to your health or even aggravate already existing health issues. This is one of the reasons air purifiers are great – because they reduce concentrations of pollutants.
Air purifiers are appliances that aid in the removal of air pollutants. They are especially helpful for people who suffer from asthma or allergies and are also used to get rid of secondhand smoke hence, air purifiers are needed if there is a smoker in the house. They can be used in both commercial and residential environments.
Air purifiers have HEPA filters that assist with cleaning and purifying the air that is circulated. HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air and is a type of air filter that purifies the air by trapping particles and small particles that a vacuum would only recirculate into the air.
According to a report by ConsumerSearch expert tests, the HEPA filter removes about 99.9% of dust particles and impurities from the air including pollen, mold, spores, pet dander, and/or dust mites.
Can air purifiers help you breathe easier?
In addition to a smoking habit or a relative that smokes, a lot of us might share our homes with our pets, which brings with it urine, pet odors, and dander. These can be quite upsetting for family members who have allergies and, most of the time, vacuuming doesn’t remove all the pollutants in the air.
If you suffer from asthma, allergies, or any other respiratory condition that could be worsened by airborne particles, an air purifier may provide you with some relief. Air purifiers are especially important in houses because they quickly and quietly clear allergens and other particles, effectively remove odor, pollen, smoke, dust, pet dander, and almost all other pollutants present in the air. Without an air purifier, your house could collect lots of dust and germs, which could lead to health problems.

How They Work
In order to work and remove airborne pollutants, air purifiers make use of different technologies in functioning. HEPA air purifiers use a fan to pull air through the pleated high-efficiency particulate arresting (HEPA) filters and mechanically trapping particles. According to ForHealthyAir, this is one of the most effective types of air purifiers because, due to the use of fans, it doesn’t produce any ozone. However, you should take note that not every air purifier that relies on mechanical filtration uses true HEPA filters, so be sure about what exactly you are getting.

Become Stronger
In place of mechanical filter, or in addition to it, some air purifiers use electronic technology to reverse the charge of particles in the air. They then pass the charged particles back out to the room where they settle on your furnishings, floors, and clothing. In this case, removing allergens from the room involves dusting and vacuuming the particles to prevent them from being reintroduced into the air.
Finding the best air purifiers
To find the best and top performing HEPA air purifiers, you should consult professional and unbiased reviews, such as those from ConsumerReports and ForHealthyAir. It is important that you should find one that has the capacity to purify the size of the room you intend to use it in, so you should be sure to consider factors such as, performance, noise, ease of use, cost, and whether or not an air purifier has been submitted for testing and its ratings certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).
The results would help you narrow down your choices on the HEPA air purifier that best suits your needs and environment. It is often advised that you should use air purifiers in the rooms where you and your family spend the most time.

REME HALO®
REME HALO® Whole Home In-Duct Air Purifier
The award winning REME HALO® whole home in-duct air purifier is the next generation of indoor air quality (IAQ) technology and capable of purifying every cubic inch of air that your central air conditioning system reaches. Designed to eliminate sick building syndrome risks by reducing odors and air pollutants, the REME HALO® whole home in-duct air purifier is the best solution for whole house and building air purification.
Invented to recreate nature’s process of purifying the air, it’s like bringing fresh outdoor air inside without ever having to open your windows. And it’s effective against all three categories of indoor air pollutants: Particulates, Microbial and Gases.
You can now reduce common allergy triggers from particulates such as pollen, mold spores, dander and dust. Thoroughly tested on airborne and surface bacteria & viruses, such as MRSA, e-coli, and Norwalk, to name a few. Say goodbye to odors from cooking, pets, dirty socks, diaper pails, and musty rooms.
How it works:
The REME HALO® in-duct air purifier utilizes RGF’s proprietary Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy technology. Installed into the supply plenum of your existing air conditioning or heating system air ducts, the REME HALO® in-duct air purifier produces Hydro-Peroxide plasma that is distributed through the air handler, through the duct system and into the conditioned living space. Unlike passive air technologies, which need pollutants to pass through the unit for purification or filtration, the REME HALO® in-duct air purifier sweeps through your home actively purifying pollutants at the source. In addition, the charged plasma induces particles to coagulate or stick together making them bigger and easier for your filter to catch. Hydroperoxides occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere and are part of nature’s process of cleaning the air.
What’s new:
The redesigned and improved REME HALO® whole home in-duct HVAC unit features higher ionized hydroperoxide output, which gives faster kill rates for microbial contaminants in the air as well as on surfaces. This higher output also drops more particulates from the air, bringing relief to those who suffer from allergies and other respiratory issues. Now with quick release features for the cell and housing for faster cell replacement and an adjustable shroud for customization of the advanced oxidation plasma output.
Note: It is recommended these units be installed by a licensed electrician or HVAC professional.

REME HALO® FAQs
What is the difference between the REME HALO® and Guardian Air QR+?
Both of these unique whole home units reduce bacteria, viruses, mold spores, VOCs and odors throughout your air-conditioned space, both in the air and on surfaces. The REME HALO® has an added technology that helps to remove allergens like dust, dander, and pollen from the air.
How are the REME HALO® and Guardian QR+ different from a UV light?
RGF’s whole home air purifiers are installed in your air conditioning duct and work actively throughout the air-conditioned space to reduce bacteria, virus, mold spores, odors and allergens. UV lights provide passive treatment of air conditioning coils.
How often do I need to replace the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ cell (bulb)? How do I know if the cell needs replacing?
The output of the unit reduces with time. After two years (up to 25,000 hours) of operation, it is recommended to change out the replaceable cell.
Is there any maintenance to perform on the system besides replacing the cell every two years?
We are happy to say that no maintenance is required once the unit has been installed!
Where is the best place to install the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ unit?
The best location for your REME HALO® or Guardian QR+ unit is in the supply plenum, just after the air handler. This allows for optimal operation and full distribution throughout the air-conditioned space.
Can the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ be installed in the HVAC return?
Yes, if the HVAC system does not allow space to accommodate installation in the supply plenum, installation on the return side of the air handler is acceptable.
Can I install the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ alongside a humidifier or dehumidifier?
Yes. RGF recommends installing 10-12 inches downstream of the humidifier/dehumidifier, before the first drop of the ducts split off.
What is the best way to connect/wire the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ unit?
For optimal performance and maximum cell life we recommend that the REME HALO® and Guardian Air QR+ be wired so that it runs continuously.
Should the air conditioning system run all the time so that the REME HALO® or Guardian Air QR+ is always working? Is it better to have the A/C unit working 24/7?
The REME HALO® and Guardian Air QR+ treats your home when the air conditioning fan is on. If possible, it is recommended to leave your fan on continuously to provide maximum benefit. While cycling the air purifier on and off with the fan is acceptable, be aware that repeated cycling may degrade the useful life of the cell elements. Therefore, it is recommended to run the air purification units continuously.
My REME HALO® has a RED or GREEN light lamp indicator. What does that mean?
The indicator light on the REME HALO® was changed from green to red in November of 2017. The light simply indicates that the unit is powered. If the light is on, whether the color is green OR red, your unit is receiving power.
After installation of the REME HALO®/Guardian Air QR+ I’m noticing a smell. Is that ok?
Some people may notice a slight smell after installation and some people don’t notice anything at all. It has been described as similar to fresh, clean outdoor air, but can be stronger at first for those who have a particularly keen sense of smell. You will notice the smell subdue over time. If not, consult with your installing HVAC contractor.
Why can’t I smell my REME HALO®/Guardian Air QR+ working anymore?
If you are one who happens to love the smell that the REME HALO®/Guardian Air produces throughout your home or work place, you may feel as though it has stopped working when you can no longer smell it. It’s ok! It is still working! Rest assured that if the indicator light is on, your system will continually provide over 2 years, or over 25,000 hours of fresh, clean, purified air.
How do I know if my REME HALO®/Guardian Air QR+ unit is working?
If your indicator light is on, your unit is working and will provide up to 25,000 hours, or over two years of fresh, clean, purified air.
Is there a chart for adjusting the REME HALO® output to match air flow or CFM coverage?
Yes. The REME HALO® Cell has an adjustable shroud – see chart
If my shroud is closed all the way on the REME HALO®, will that extend the life of my cell?
The shroud positioning has no effect on the life of the REME cell. The shroud will only help to control the output of the REME HALO® based on the air flow of the air conditioning system.

CleanEffects™
Setting the standard in air quality, the Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner uses revolutionary technology that supplies your home with a cleaner, healthier environment. Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner removes up to 99.98% of airborne particles – including those as small as .1 micron, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1-inch filter.
Asthma & allergy friendly™ Certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
With more than 60 million Americans suffering from asthma and allergies, this certification mark guides consumers in identifying products more suitable for people with asthma and allergies. The asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Mark is awarded only to those products that that are scientifically proven to reduce exposure to asthma and allergy triggers.
Highest efficiency
Standard air cleaners have filters that are very dense, so they stop the dust by trapping it in a slightly porous filter. The fewer the pores, the more dust it can trap. However, this not only stops the dust and dirt, but it also stops the air from moving as well. So, you may not be as comfortable, and less air is cleaned efficiently. This is called pressure drop. The revolutionary Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner has the lowest pressure drop with the highest efficiency possible.
Small particles, large effects
Particles like dust, smoke and bacteria are often .3 microns or less. At that size, allergens can get deep into your lungs because they aren’t filtered well by your nose and throat. An effective Trane air cleaner, such as Trane CleanEffects™, can reduce the presence of potential asthma and allergy attack triggers in your home, like dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking grease, and even bacteria.
Patented innovation
The Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner utilizes patented, breakthrough air cleaning technology to remove up to an astounding 99.98% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter. It catches particles as small as .1 micron, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1-inch filter.
