Aireshield FAQs

Aireshield Frequently Asked Questions

Reusable, ozone‑free plasma air disinfection for your HVAC system.

Aireshield by Reviveaire neutralizes airborne pathogens and clusters ultrafine particles so standard filters can capture them more effectively—boosting performance without added static pressure.

What is Aireshield?

Aireshield is a reusable HVAC air-disinfection module that actively neutralizes airborne pathogens and improves indoor air quality. It uses a confined non-thermal plasma field to deactivate viruses, bacteria, and mold while charging ultrafine particles so standard filters can capture them more effectively.

How does Aireshield work?

As air flows through Aireshield’s confined plasma field (~5,500 volts, low amperage), the plasma disrupts the membranes of pathogens, eliminating their ability to infect. At the same time, the field electrically charges particles, causing them to clump together. These larger clusters are easily trapped by downstream HVAC filters, boosting overall filtration performance.

Does Aireshield replace my filter?

You can use Aireshield as a standalone 1-inch filter, but it performs best when installed upstream of a standard filter (MERV 8, MERV 13, etc.). This setup maximizes air disinfection and filtration efficiency.

How does Aireshield affect MERV performance?

Pairing Aireshield with a standard HVAC filter significantly increases capture efficiency:

  • MERV 8 + Aireshield performs like a MERV 13.

  • MERV 13 + Aireshield approaches MERV 16.

You get high-level filtration without the high static pressure or energy penalties of ultra-dense filters.

Is Aireshield safe and ozone‑free?

Yes. Aireshield meets UL 2998 certification for zero ozone emissions. Independent tests confirm ozone output below 1 part per billion (ppb)—far under safety thresholds. The system produces no harmful byproducts, making it safe for continuous operation in homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.

What contaminants does Aireshield address?

Aireshield neutralizes and reduces:

  • Viruses (including SARS-CoV-2 surrogates)

  • Bacteria and mold spores

  • Smoke and fine particles (PM2.5)

  • Common allergens such as pollen and dander

Third-party testing verifies >99% neutralization of representative airborne pathogens.

Will Aireshield increase energy use?

No. By enabling higher filtration performance without restricting airflow, Aireshield often lowers energy consumption compared to HEPA or very high-MERV filters. Many users report measurable HVAC efficiency gains and reduced fan energy.

What sizes and systems are supported?

Aireshield fits standard 1-inch residential HVAC filter slots. For commercial systems, it can pair with 2–6 inch filter tracks, and multiple units can be daisy-chained for larger RTUs and AHUs. A standard 24″×24″ Aireshield module typically draws less than 12 watts of power.

Does Aireshield meet industry standards?

Yes. Aireshield testing follows ASHRAE 52.2 and supports ASHRAE 241 standards for controlling infectious aerosols. It also carries safety certifications including UL 2998 (ozone-free) and CSA 22.2 No. 187.
