Air scrubbers are advanced air purification devices that go beyond standard filtration by actively sending out purifying molecules to clean both the air and surfaces in your home. Quality Comfort installs and services air scrubber systems throughout Western North Carolina for homeowners who want the highest level of indoor air quality.

How Air Scrubbers Work

Unlike passive filters that only clean air as it passes through, air scrubbers use photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) technology to produce purifying molecules — including hydrogen peroxide — that actively travel through your home's air and onto surfaces. These molecules neutralize bacteria, viruses, mold, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) both in the air and on countertops, doorknobs, and other surfaces.

Air Scrubber vs. Air Purifier

Standard air purifiers and HEPA filters only treat air that flows through the HVAC system. Air scrubbers provide active purification that reaches every room — even areas with minimal airflow. This makes air scrubbers especially effective for large homes, homes with pets, and households concerned about illness transmission.

Installation & Maintenance

Air scrubbers install directly into your existing HVAC ductwork near the air handler — no major modifications needed. Installation typically takes 1–2 hours. The purification cell needs replacement approximately every 12–18 months, and Quality Comfort provides ongoing maintenance to keep your air scrubber performing at its best.

Who Benefits Most from an Air Scrubber?

Air scrubbers are ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, homes with pets, households with young children or elderly family members, homes near construction or high-traffic roads, and anyone who wants the cleanest possible indoor environment. Combined with UV light treatment and proper filtration, an air scrubber provides comprehensive indoor air protection.
