Put Your HVAC System to Work for a Healthier Home

Indoor air quality has a direct impact on the health of your family, but how do you actually improve it? The answer is actually simpler than you think, because you already have half the solution right inside your home—your HVAC system!

With the right enhancements, your heating and cooling system can do more than just control temperature. It’s the perfect vehicle to deliver healthier air—learn why, and how to make the most of it.

The Link Between Indoor Air Quality and Your Well-Being

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has never been more important than it is today. With people spending around 90% of their time indoors, the air inside our homes has a direct impact on our health and well-being. Yet, studies show that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air—this may come as a shock, as many people associate air pollution with outdoor issues like smog or vehicle emissions.

Why IAQ Matters More Than Ever

Several factors have pushed indoor air quality to the forefront of public health concerns:

Environmental Hazards: Wildfires, increasing mold risks, and extended pollen seasons mean outdoor air contaminants are creeping indoors.
Modern Lifestyles: More people work remotely and spend more hours at home, making healthier indoor air a bigger long-term concern.
Tighter Home Construction: While better insulation and air-sealed homes improve energy efficiency, they also trap pollutants inside.
Household Pollutants: Everyday items like furniture, cleaning supplies, and carpets release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like formaldehyde.
Health Concerns on the Rise: With over 50 million Americans suffering from allergies and asthma rates increasing, poor IAQ can worsen respiratory issues.
Post-Pandemic Awareness: In the era of airborne illnesses, two-thirds of Americans now consider themselves “germaphobes,” and there’s a heightened awareness of how viruses and pathogens can spread through the air.

With IAQ now recognized as one of the top five environmental risks to public health, healthier indoor air needs to be a focus for everyone.

The Connection Between Your HVAC System and Healthy Indoor Air

The good news? Your HVAC system is the perfect tool to deliver cleaner air throughout your home. While many people think of their HVAC as a comfort system, it’s also a powerful tool in maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

Consistent, Even Air Distribution for Your Entire Home

When air sits still for too long, pollutants accumulate within the air. Dust particles and other contaminants also have a chance to settle on surfaces, further increasing the concentration of indoor air pollutants you and your loved ones are exposed to.

Your central HVAC system provides consistent, even air distribution throughout your home via your ductwork and vents, which prevents air from becoming stale and stagnant. The supply and return vents work together to move air into and out of different areas of your home so that conditioned air reaches every room—so no space feels stuffy or poorly ventilated.

When you have the right indoor air quality solution installed within your HVAC ductwork, the supply and return ducts deliver healthier air throughout your home. As the treated air from the unit flows through the supply ducts, it enters every room. Meanwhile, the return ducts pull air back into the system for continuous treatment and conditioning.

Maximize Your HVAC System’s Potential With Maple Air

You already have half of the solution for healthier air with your HVAC system, but to truly unlock its full potential, adding the right IAQ products is key. A quality MERV filter only captures non-organic particles and protects your HVAC system —you need a solution that treats the true source of unhealthy air: pathogens, gasses, and VOCs.

That’s where Maple Air comes in. By installing Maple Air’s advanced air purification technology inside your HVAC ductwork, you can take your home’s air quality to the next level.

Maple Air: The Perfect IAQ Partner for Healthier Air

Maple Air is an advanced in-duct IAQ solution that works with your HVAC system to treat all air circulating throughout your home. Maple Air provides continuous treatment using its Pur Plasma™ technology to produce natural, oxidizing molecules that eliminate harmful airborne contaminants within your indoor air supply. No chemicals or additives are used—it’s a 100% natural process.

As ambient air passes through the Maple Air device, these oxidizing molecules break down pathogens, gasses, and even odors. The result? A dramatic reduction in viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and even radon. Homeowners who’ve installed Maple Air have already seen a 90% reduction in airborne microbes and other harmful contaminants.

One of the standout features of Maple Air is that it doesn’t just treat airborne contaminants—it also treats surfaces to further purify your indoor spaces. With Maple Air integrated into your HVAC system, you can breathe easier knowing that every room is being treated by a highly effective system that truly provides healthier air.

Take the First Step Toward Healthier Air in Every Room

Better health starts at home, and you already have half the solution for cleaner, healthier air. By adding Maple Air to your HVAC system, you can create a healthier home—eliminate airborne pollutants, reduce germs, and create a safer home environment for you and your family.
