Frequently Asked Questions
What is ActivePure Technology and how does it clean indoor air?
ActivePure Technology is laboratory-tested air purification that reduces viruses, pathogens, and contaminants in indoor air. It works continuously through portable or installed devices that require minimal maintenance. The technology provides an active layer of purification beyond standard filtration, treating air throughout the space rather than only what passes through a filter.How does free air quality testing work before buying an air purifier?
The testing process involves two visits: first, technicians test your indoor air quality on-site, then return later to review specific results with you. Recommendations for which air purifier model suits your space are based on the actual contaminant levels detected. This approach identifies whether you need portable units or installed whole-home devices based on measured data rather than guesswork.Can you repair vacuums that aren't Aerus or Electrolux brands?
Yes, the service department repairs other vacuum makes and models in addition to Aerus Electrolux vacuums. You bring the vacuum to the store for service. Having a dedicated repair department means access to parts and technical expertise for maintenance work that extends vacuum lifespan beyond what replacement-focused retailers offer.What's included in vacuum service versus vacuum repair?
Service involves maintenance work like belt replacement, filter cleaning, and performance tuning to keep vacuums running efficiently. Repair addresses specific failures like motor issues, broken components, or loss of suction. The full service department handles both scheduled maintenance and unexpected breakdowns, plus stocks parts and supplies for DIY fixes.Do air purifiers work in commercial spaces like gyms and schools?
Air purifiers with ActivePure Technology are designed for both residential and commercial applications. High-traffic spaces like gyms, schools, churches, retail stores, and office buildings benefit from continuous air treatment that reduces airborne pathogens. System sizing and placement depend on square footage, occupancy levels, and ventilation patterns identified during the initial air quality assessment.What's the difference between portable and installed air purifiers?
Portable units sit in individual rooms and plug into standard outlets, treating air in specific zones where you spend the most time. Installed systems integrate with existing HVAC or operate independently to treat whole-home or whole-building air. Both use ActivePure Technology, but installed units provide centralized purification while portable units offer flexibility and room-specific control.Why visit a showroom instead of buying air purifiers online?
The showroom lets you see how different air purifier models compare in size, noise level, and features before purchasing. You can ask technical questions about ActivePure Technology, compare whole-home versus portable options, and understand maintenance requirements. Seeing water treatment systems and vacuum products in person also clarifies which solutions fit your space and needs.What does whole-home water filtration treat that drinking water systems don't?
Whole-home filtration treats water at the main line before it reaches any fixture, addressing contaminants in shower water, laundry, and appliances in addition to drinking water. Drinking water systems focus on point-of-use treatment at the tap or refrigerator. Whole-home systems prevent scale buildup in water heaters and protect plumbing, while drinking systems prioritize taste and consumable water quality.How does free water quality testing determine which filtration system you need?
Testing identifies specific contaminants present in your water supply, such as hardness minerals, chlorine, sediment, or other compounds. Results dictate whether you need basic filtration, softening, or multi-stage treatment. The recommendation visit explains which detected contaminants affect health versus appliance lifespan versus taste, helping prioritize system features based on your actual water chemistry.Can you buy replacement parts without bringing the vacuum in for service?
Yes, the store stocks parts and supplies for customers who prefer DIY maintenance and repairs. Common items like belts, filters, bags, and attachments are available for purchase. Having parts inventory on-site means you avoid shipping delays and can verify compatibility before buying, especially helpful for older Aerus Electrolux models no longer sold retail.
