From advanced air purifiers to hospital grade media filters, these solutions not only enhance comfort but also contribute to better health and overall peace of mind. Continue reading as we discuss several new indoor air quality products available so you can decide if they are the right fit for your home.

Panasonic WhisperAir Repair Ceiling- Mount Air Purifier
Panasonic’s WhisperAir Repair keeps the air inside your home pure. This ceiling-mounted spot purification device uses patented nanoe X technology, generating charged water particles to purify your air. It inhibits the growth of gram-positive bacteria, viruses, mold, and allergens, while breaking down pollutants for a healthier home. This device also quietly deodorizes, reducing unwanted smells for a fresher, cleaner indoor environment.
“We are seeing a great market for these in residential bedrooms where babies, children, and those affected by allergies live. Couple this with a product like a Reme Halo Whole Home In Duct Air Purifier and you are on the path to a healthier home.” Says JW East owner, Jim East.
Dust Free Sixteen Media Filter
The top-performing Dust Free Sixteen air filter has a MERV 16 rating, effectively trapping microscopic particles such as smoke and bacteria.Its efficient design minimizes pressure drops, thereby optimizing HVAC system performance. With a long lifespan of up to three years, it also reduces maintenance requirements. Its versatile design allows for seamless integration into diverse residential and commercial HVAC systems.
Key Features:
- High Efficiency: With a MERV 16 rating, it captures ultrafine particles, including smoke and bacteria, for superior air purification.
- Extended Life: Its filter is designed to last up to three years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Durable: With its corrosion-resistant construction, it’s built to withstand various environments, enhancing durability and compatibility with many HVAC systems.
“This is hospital grade filtration for your home without reducing air flow, ” says East. “ With standard duct mounted media air filters that have to be changed once a quarter and at a cost of $35.00 each, this unit can go up to 3 years in some cases without a filter change. Better quality of filtration at a cheaper maintenance cost, you can not argue with that!”
