The HVAC industry is taking proactive steps to improve and maintain air quality in residential and commercial buildings. And for good reason. According to the U.S. EPA, the average person now spends 90 percent of their time indoors. Combine this with the persisting effects of COVID-19, the WHO identifying indoor air pollution as a top five public health risk, and microbial growth in HVAC systems being recognized as a leading cause of noxious indoor air, it’s pretty clear that optimizing indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

Enter PermaSafe.

PermaSafe, a Coconut Creek, Florida provider of professional HVAC service and maintenance chemicals, has made the enhancement and preservation of Indoor Air Quality (“IAQ”) a cornerstone of their business, and a challenge they approach holistically. PermaSafe not only produces dedicated IAQ boosting solutions, formulated to eliminate and continuously inhibit the growth of microorganisms and other IAQ pollutants, but also integrates IAQ promotion and preservation into every product they produce. PermaSafe achieves this by both producing exclusively eco-friendly products and integrating each with antimicrobial properties.

Every product PermaSafe develops for the HVAC industry is EPA-registered for antimicrobial control in HVAC systems and air ducts. Each is also EPA-rated “Category IV” for toxicity, the very lowest toxicity rating any antimicrobial product can be awarded, and one that equates to virtually non-toxic. A Category IV rating also means no gloves or other PPE are necessary when applying these products and no precautionary statements or hazard warnings are needed on their labels.

In addition, all PermaSafe chemical products are 100 percent biodegradable, bleach and phosphate-free, contain zero CFCs, VOCs, added fragrances, or dyes, and produce no chemical fumes. They are also food contact surface safe, require no post-application rinsing, contain no abrasives or corrosives and will not stain or damage surfaces. “We believe that caring for our global environment, as well as the indoor environments in which we all live our lives is vital,” says Jay Lighter, president of PermaSafe.

One of the standout products that exemplifies PermaSafe’s commitment to elevating IAQ, as well as adding value, is their Antimicrobial Air Filter Treatment. Upon application, the product creates a permeable, microbiostatic shield on HVAC system air filters that continuously inhibits the growth of microorganisms and helps prevent the growth and spread of bacteria for up to 3 months, while also controlling system odors and improving area IAQ. “The ability to quickly, easily, and very affordably add long-term antimicrobial protection, and the ancillary benefits it produces, to HVAC air filtration systems is a real gamechanger,” adds Lighter.

PermaSafe’s product line is comprised of HVAC system service and maintenance chemicals, including evaporator and condenser coil cleaners; odor eliminators; mold, fungi and algae removal and prevention solutions; all-system sanitizers; disinfectant cleaners; long-term antimicrobial coatings; preventive maintenance kits; Indoor Air Quality remedies, and related specialty products.

Another element of PermaSafe’s business model that sets it apart from other players in the aftermarket HVAC product market is their PermaSafe ProfitSafe contractor support platform. This HVAC contractor-specific CRM platform is provided for free to contractor customers. It includes automated text message and email customer service reminders, marketing and promotional messages, auto-scheduling options, an online reputation-building system, and many other customer retention, management, and marketing features.

Maintaining indoor air quality has become a top priority today, and PermaSafe’s HVAC product line is leading this charge. By offering a wide array of remediation, prevention and maintenance solutions, along with a commitment to being eco-friendly, its product line is a true testament to the HVAC industry.
