STATE-OF-THE ART AIR PURIFICATION
Why does Blue Ridge Heating and Air prefer RGF products for air purification?
Because the owners are engineers that love data!
When Chris and Ben were researching the multitude of air scrubber products available, RGF was the only manufacturer that made it a priority to prove their sensational claims with independent testing at labs and university settings. To name a few:
99% inactivation of H1N1 swine flu
99% inactivation of norovirus
99% inactivation of staph bacteria
99% inactivation of SARS CoV-2-virus
90% reduction of airborne microbials at 2 feet away from a sneeze simulation machine

Indoor Air Purification FAQ
Do indoor plants purify the air?
Some indoor plants—like peace lilies, spider plants, pothos, and snake plants—do have mild air-filtering properties, absorbing small amounts of certain VOCs. However, the effect in a typical home is limited compared to a properly maintained HVAC system with quality filtration. For real air quality improvement, Blue Ridge Heating & Air recommends high-efficiency filters and whole-home air purification systems like the REME Halo, which actively neutralizes airborne pathogens, allergens, and odors throughout your entire home.
What are the best air purifiers?
The best air purifiers for whole-home use are those integrated with your HVAC system. Blue Ridge Heating & Air installs and recommends the REME Halo air purification system, which uses advanced in-duct technology to neutralize airborne bacteria, viruses, mold spores, allergens, and odors throughout your entire home—not just one room. If you’re interested in portable purifiers, look for models with true HEPA filtration and appropriate CADR ratings for your room size.
How do I install an air purifer?
Installing a whole-home air purification system is a job for a licensed HVAC professional, as it involves integrating the unit directly into your existing HVAC system’s ductwork. Blue Ridge Heating & Air installs REME Halo air purification systems and other whole-home IAQ solutions for homeowners throughout Greenville, SC, and Brevard, NC. The installation is typically completed in a few hours and requires minimal disruption. Call us or book online to get started.
What are the best air purifying indoor plants?
The top indoor plants for air quality include peace lilies (effective at filtering benzene and formaldehyde), snake plants (easy to care for and good at removing VOCs), spider plants (great for beginners and effective against carbon monoxide), pothos (excellent at absorbing common pollutants), and bamboo palms (natural humidifiers that also filter air toxins). While plants are a nice complement to good HVAC filtration, Blue Ridge Heating & Air recommends pairing them with a whole-home air purification system for maximum impact.
