Air Scrubber Installation in Asheville, NC

An air scrubber actively treats air passing through it to address particles, odors, and certain contaminants, while a standard purifier primarily filters particles out as air passes through a filter medium. Both install into ductwork, but a scrubber generally provides a more active layer of treatment on top of filtration. Bullman can explain which option fits a given building’s air quality concerns during a consultation.

Yes, Bullman installs air scrubbers in commercial HVAC systems, including offices, retail spaces, and practices with specific air quality needs tied to occupancy. Commercial installations are sized to the building’s airflow and square footage, similar to residential jobs but at a larger scale. A technician will review your building’s existing rooftop unit or air handler before recommending a specific model.

Air scrubbers typically need periodic component replacement or cleaning to maintain their treatment capability, on a schedule that depends on the specific unit installed. Bullman includes this in maintenance visits for both residential and commercial customers so the unit keeps performing at the level it was installed for. Skipping this maintenance reduces effectiveness even though the unit continues to run.

Air scrubbers are designed to address a range of airborne contaminants, including certain odors, which makes them a common choice for spaces dealing with cooking smells, pet dander, or odors tied to specific business operations. The exact scope depends on the unit installed, so Bullman recommends equipment based on the specific concern. This is often the deciding factor between a scrubber and a standard purifier for commercial customers.

Sizing is based on the square footage the HVAC system serves and the airflow rate the system moves, which determines how much air passes through the scrubber over a given period. An undersized unit will not keep pace with a large space, while an oversized unit adds unnecessary cost. Bullman calculates this during the site visit rather than recommending a standard size across every job.
