Reduce sickness days in the workplace!
Air Comfort Centre have taken on a range of new technology EMF air purifiers from the air treatment experts Healthway, these air purifiers are the newest and most advanced portable air purifiers on the market, designed to combat illness in the workplace and in the home they will reduce staff sickness days and create a healthy atmosphere and of course will eliminate bad odours and smoke.
Using the patented highly effective EMF air filtration system, the air purifiers destroy up to 100% of the bacteria, viruses, smells and pollutants in your air, the EMF system has been found to be 4 times more effective than HEPA filters and uses far less energy to run.
There are 2 units in the range, the 20600-03 is ideal for workplaces and can purify areas up to 93m2, and the smaller 10600-09 air purifier which can purify up to 46m2 and is ideal for the home or small office.
The main benefits of the Healthway EMF air purifier include…
- Reduced symptoms and risk of infection for cold and flu viruses (including swine flu)
- Reduction in Asthma and Allergy problems - Easier breathing
- Cleaner fresh smelling air
By removing the bacteria, viruses, germs and allergens from the air, you can dramatically reduce the number of days lost from sickness in your workplace. The Healthway air purifiers makes a big difference:
- Improved breathing for more alert employees
- Removal of germs and viruses from air, reduces the risk of illness
- Improved recovery times from common colds
- Reduction in dust improves lifespan of electrical equipment
- Odour removal which creates a pleasant environment
Wherever people meet in enclosed spaces, there is a higher risk of airborne infection spreading between occupants of the area.
The EMF air purifiers are the most advanced and effective purifiers you can get. A four stage pre-filter provides particulate pre-filtering and multiple gas/chemical scrubbing. This consists of 2 x 10 micron pre filters, honeycomb activated carbon and a Zeolite filter for gas odour and chemical reduction.
The main EMF filter provides 4 x the particle reduction of HEPA filters of the same size, this filter traps viruses, bacteria, mould, fungi, germs and microorganisms. Warning lights indicate when filters need changing and there are 3 fan speeds which are selectable from the electronic control panel.
Unlike most air purifiers the EMF purifiers are sealed units so that all the air passed through them is purified, this means you can guarantee to clean all the air in your room.
The following applications will all benefit from using EMF air purifiers:
Homes – Combat asthma and allergies, breathe easier and reduce smells in the home.
Open plan offices - Reduce infection between co-workers.

EF888 Mini Dehumidifier
In this cold time of year dehumidifiers will be working overtime to protect against damp, condensation and mould, we find that small areas such as cupboards, wardrobes and larders could still start to develop damp problems. These areas will not be protected with a dehumidifier sited centrally in a home as usually the doors to these small areas will be closed.
We have the perfect solution for that with the EF888 Mini dehumidifier, it works with Peltier technology which is low energy, the dehumidifier will remove up to 600ml of water a day which would be enough to protect a wardrobe or larder from harm.

Radiator humidifier review
Air Comfort Centre have just taken on a range of radiator humidifiers which are being imported from Switzerland, using a radiator humidifier is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly way of humidifying your home as they work by the evaporation of water using the heat generated from your radiators.
Special evaporator pads within the humidifier maximise the amount of water the radiators can evaporate, hooks provided with the humidifiers can adapt to either the slimline radiators or for the fatter style radiators, they can be used safely in any room of the house.
The evaporator pads provided with the units or as spares contain a special anti-bacterial and anti-fungi substance called DILURIT876, this makes them totally hygienic and eliminates the possibility of bad smells. The pads should be changed every 6 weeks, a spare pad kit for both the Capri radiator humidifier and the Casana radiator humidifier contains 4 pads which will see you through the heating season when humidifiers are essential.
We have 2 types of radiator humidifiers available, the Capri is the most popular model, it is made from white plastic so will blend in with your radiator, the other model is the Casana, it comes in 2 sizes, 0.8 litre and 1.6 litre capacity, the Casana range is built to last a lifetime as is stainless steel construction which is powder coated in white to blend with your radiator.
These radiator humidifier models and spares are available now from Air Comfort Centre, click HERE if you would like to see more details and to purchase from our website.
Hunter ceiling fans
Why should you buy a Hunter ceiling fan? There are many cheaper models on the market and a wide choice of makes and styles…
…Well it is because Hunter fans are the best ceiling fans money can buy! These fans are a major step up in quality over all the other fans on on the UK market, they are ultra cool, whisper quiet, wobble-free and many models have lifetime guarantee on the Airmax motors. Hunter mix traditional craftsmanship with tomorrow’s innovations to keep ahead of the competition.
Since 1886, the Hunter Fan Company has pioneered new and smarter ways to circulate the air in your home. We offer a collection of products that continues Hunter’s heritage of excellence—quiet, beautiful, and built to last a lifetime.
With styles ranging from classic to contemporary, Hunter products are designed to work beautifully in today’s homes. The finest materials are used to create stylish designs that will add beauty to any room.
Long before there was air conditioning, or even widespread use of electricity, people around the world counted on Hunter ceiling fans for cool comfort. The father and son team of John and James Hunter created their first ceiling fan in 1886. Soon enough Hunter were shipping fans throughout the United States, and to distant places such as Africa, India and the Far East and eventually to Europe.
Today, Hunter combines this heritage of 19th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century design and innovation to create ceiling fans of unmatched quality, style and quiet performance.
Apart from the obvious benefits of cooling in the summer, if you put a Hunter ceiling fan into reverse it can also help to heat rooms and save energy. By reclaiming hot air trapped at the ceiling and gently blowing it downwards, the fan can lower heating costs by as much as 15%. Latest news from American medical research claims that using a fan in a room while a baby is sleeping appears to significantly cut the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. The lead researcher in the latest study, De-Kun Li, explained that fan use increases air movement in a baby’s bedroom that could protect babies from re-breathing carbon dioxide which is thought to be a major factor in SIDS.

How to clean humidifiers
How to clean Humidifiers
To keep your humidifiers free of scale and bacteria and keep them running, be sure to follow the this advice.
You may use tap water to run your humidifier however in hard water areas, tap water contains minerals that will appear as scale in your humidifier, also with ultrasonic/cool mist type humidifiers without ion exchange filters, for best results we would recommend that you use distilled or demineralised water.
Ensure that you change the humidifier water every day. Do not allow any films or deposits to develop inside your humidifiers. Empty the water tank, dry the inside surfaces to clear any muck before refilling.
Cleaning humidifier scale build up.
Cold water (evaporative and ultrasonic) and steam humidifiers require removal of any mineral build-up in the water tank or base. Remember for safety when you are cleaning your humidifier to unplug it from the mains.
Removal of humidifier mineral build up:
1. Remove the water tank from the unit and pour a quantity of undiluted white vinegar into the base of the unit, just enough to cover the base. (you could alternitively buy proprietary descaler)
2. Leave the vinegar to sit in the humidifier for a minimum of 30 mins. Depending on the amount of the mineral build-up you may need to leave the vinegar soaking for longer. You will see scaled up areas turn white and start to fizz as the vinegar is active.
3. Invigorate the vinegar occasionally by gently shaking the base. Swish the solution around the container making sure that it coats the entire base.
4. Use a soft brush to gently clean the interior of the container and on areas that are encrusted with mineral build up.
5. If there is a large amount of scale, after some time the vinegar will no longer break the scale down as it will become inactive. If this happens you will need to use more new vinegar and repeat steps 2 to 4.
6. Once the unit is clean you can pour the vinegar out of the base and rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove the mineral and vinegar residue. rinse the container a second time to ensure that you have removed all the solution and never allow any vinegar residue to remain in your humidifier.
Disinfecting humidifiers
If the water in your humidifier becomes slimy or the humidifier has an odour it may mean you have a bacteria build-up and therefore you need to disinfect it, follow these steps.
1. Fill the humidifier tank or base with approx 1 litre of clean cold water and add no more than one teaspoon of liquid chlorine bleach.
2. Allow the solution to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3. Once 30 minutes has passed, pour the bleach solution away, be carefull as you pour to avoid splashes.
4. Rinse the base several times until the smell of bleach has gone. Never allow any bleach to remain in your humidifier.
5. If your humidifier is the cold water evaporative type we would recommend to replace the evaporative mats at this stage as they are too hard to disinfect as have to many absorbant surfaces.
