Integrity in Construction

The Body
Austin Air produces all of its products with solid steel construction and non-toxic powder coated paint for strength, reliability and longevity.

The Filter
Austin Air incorporates the only trusted air filtering technology used in hospitals and operating rooms. For a filter to be effective, gases and sub-micron particles must be removed from the air. That’s why you’ll find True Medical Grade HEPA and Activated Carbon in every Austin Air filter.

True HEPA
The True HEPA filter was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission specifically to protect the Human Respiratory System (nose, mouth, throat, lungs) from radioactive dust particles. Austin Air takes it a step further, incorporating True Medical Grade HEPA with 99.97% efficiency down to 0.3 microns and 95% efficiency down to 0.1 microns. True Medical Grade HEPA is the most efficient particulate filtering media on the market.

Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon is used to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s); noxious gases and chemicals.

The result is nothing but clean air.

Integrity in Claims and Test Results

Austin Air submits their air cleaners to only the most stringent government and independent third party testing; tests designed to protect the consumer by ensuring that products work as claimed. Austin Air does not submit its products for private testing to guarantee a desired result.

Extensive tests on flow rate, flow design, removal of vapors, gases and sub-micron particles have been performed by:

a. Battelle Laboratories; one of the world’s most respected testing laboratories

b. the Army Corp of Engineers at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center for testing

As result of these tests, Austin Air was chosen by the U.S. Government to fulfill the largest deployment of air cleaners in American history and chosen by FEMA and The Red Cross to address the serious air quality concerns in post 9/11 New York.

Built for family first.

The Austin Air Healthmate was born out of necessity as President, Richard Taylor, undertook the task of improving what many doctors and specialists couldn’t; his wife’s quality of life.

Since his wife, Joyce, was a child, she had difficulty breathing. An endless round of doctors and specialists didn't make any difference; neither did medications or dietary changes. She suffered from this debilitating condition for years, until Richard realized the obvious. The air Joyce was breathing was contaminated.

Drawing upon technology used in medical facilities, Richard reproduced the only environment where Joyce had relief of her symptoms, “the hospital clean room”. Using True Medical HEPA, surrounded with Activated Carbon he created a filter that addressed all the issues related to environmental particulate contamination and chemical toxicity. Within a week Joyce was finally sleeping undisturbed through the night.

Today, at 480,000 square feet Austin has the largest air cleaner manufacturing facility in the world, producing everything in house from filter, to metal forming, to the final paint.

Austin air is extremely proud that the Healthmate is the air cleaner of choice by leading doctors throughout the United States and many other parts of the world. As a matter of fact, there is hardly a country in the world today, where an Austin Air cleaner is not hard at work cleaning the air in someone's home.
