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 the debilitating condition for years, until Richard realized the obvious. The air Joyce was breathing was contaminated. Drawing on 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 by Activated Carbon, he created a filter that addressed all of the issues related to environmental particulate contamination and chemical toxicity. Within a week, Joyce was finally sleeping undisturbed through the night.

With that in mind, after pioneering and leading the air cleaning industry for more than 15 years, Austin Air maintains the largest air cleaner manufacturing facility in the world and manufactures everything in-house. From the filter, to metal forming, to powdercoating, to final assembly, every Austin Air purifier is proudly made in the USA.

Austin Air Technology

The engineers at Austin Air concentrated on developing the most critical component of the air cleaner first: the filter. Austin Air's 360° intake system draws air into all sides of the air cleaner, maximizing efficiency, and delivering more clean air faster. Every minute, for the full-sized units such as the Health Mate Plus, 250 cubic feet of air is processed by a four-stage filter that progressively removes contaminants out of the air, and the compact models such as the Allergy Machine Jr. and Baby's Breath draw in 125 cubic square feet.  This enables Austin Air purifiers to:

• Achieve the highest levels of performance.
• Attain superior air flow rates.
• Sustain a longer filter life (five years under normal residential use).
• Increase the life expectancy of the Medical Grade HEPA, the most critical media in the filtration process.

For an air cleaner to be effective, it must remove sub-micron particles, noxious gases, and chemicals without creating any by-products such as ozone. In every Austin Air cleaner, you will find True Medical Grade HEPA and Activated Carbon, the only trusted filter technology used in hospitals and operating rooms.

HEPA was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission to specifically protect the human respiratory system, and True HEPA is the most effective particulate filtering media on the market. True Medical Grade HEPA removes 99.97% of all particulates as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of all particulates 0.1 microns and smaller.

Austin Air uses specially manufactured Activated Carbon which is highly porous, giving the carbon a larger surface area to chemically bind and absorb more impurities such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) and other noxious gases.

Unlike electrostatic precipitators or ionic generators, Austin Air purifiers do not emit any by-products such as toxic ozone. Many customers rely on their air cleaner to control very serious respiratory conditions, such as asthma. Even the smallest amount of irritant (ozone being one of the most toxic) can have severe effects. Had those customers purchased an electrostatic precipitator or ionic generator, they would still be suffering unnecessarily.

Chosen by the U.S. Government

Austin Air submits their air purifiers 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 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.
