In-Duct Whole Home HVAC Air Purification with UV LED Technology

The NorthStar LED In-Duct Air Purification System is designed to integrate directly into a home's HVAC system to provide continuous air-treatment as air circulates through the ductwork.

Unlike portable room air purifiers that treat air in a single room, an in-duct system works with the home's existing HVAC airflow to provide whole-home air-treatment coverage.

The NorthStar LED is an excellent solution for homeowners looking to add HVAC air purification without placing portable air purifiers throughout the house.

Whole-Home HVAC Air Purification

Your HVAC system already moves air throughout your home.

An in-duct air purification system uses that existing airflow to treat air as it passes through the HVAC system.

NorthStar LED is designed for installation within the HVAC system and can be used as part of a comprehensive indoor air-quality strategy.

Potential applications include:

• Single-family homes

• Condominiums

• Apartments

• Vacation homes

• Offices

• Small commercial spaces

• Residential HVAC systems

• New construction

• HVAC upgrades

How the NorthStar LED Works

The NorthStar LED uses UV LED technology as part of its air-treatment process.

The system is installed inside the HVAC air-handling system, allowing air to pass through the treatment area as the HVAC system operates.

This provides a fundamentally different approach from portable tabletop or floor-standing air purifiers.

Portable Air Purifier

Treats air within an individual room.

NorthStar LED

Installs into the HVAC system to treat air moving through the central air-distribution system.

This makes an in-duct system particularly attractive for homeowners who want a centralized air-treatment solution.

---

Why Choose an In-Duct Air Purifier?

Whole-Home Approach

Instead of placing a separate portable purifier in every room, an in-duct system works with the home's central HVAC system.

Out of Sight

NorthStar LED is installed inside the HVAC system rather than occupying living space.

Works With Existing Airflow

The HVAC system already circulates air throughout the home.

Continuous Air Treatment

The system can provide air treatment as the HVAC system operates, according to the installation and operating instructions.

Residential-Friendly Design

NorthStar LED is designed for residential HVAC applications.

NorthStar LED for Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air can contain a mixture of airborne particles and other contaminants generated by everyday activities.

Potential sources include:

• Dust

• Cooking

• Outdoor air entering the home

• Household activities

• Pets

• Cleaning products

• HVAC-related odors

A comprehensive indoor-air-quality strategy can include:

Filtration

Ventilation

Humidity Management

HVAC Maintenance

Air Purification

NorthStar LED can be incorporated into this broader approach.

NorthStar LED HVAC Air Purification

Installing an air-treatment system directly inside the HVAC system can provide an efficient way to integrate air purification into an existing home.

The NorthStar LED can be considered for:

New HVAC Installations

Include in a new residential HVAC installation.

Existing HVAC Systems

Upgrade an existing central air-conditioning system with in-duct air-treatment technology.

Home Renovations

Add centralized air purification during remodeling or HVAC upgrades.

Vacation Homes

Provide an additional air-treatment option for properties that may sit unoccupied for periods of time.

Apartments & Condos

Consider in-duct treatment where compatible HVAC systems are available.

---

UV LED Air Purification

UV technology has been used in HVAC and air-treatment applications for many years.

NorthStar LED uses UV LED technology in a compact in-duct design.

The system is designed specifically for integration with HVAC equipment rather than use as a standalone room purifier.

---

NorthStar LED vs. Portable Air Purifiers

Feature	NorthStar LED	Portable Air Purifier
Installation	Inside HVAC system	Floor/table
Airflow	Central HVAC airflow	Individual room
Visibility	Hidden inside HVAC	Visible
Coverage	Whole-home approach	Room-specific
Uses Existing HVAC	Yes	No
Centralized Solution	Yes	No

An in-duct system can be especially attractive for homeowners who don't want multiple portable air purifiers throughout the house.

---

NorthStar LED vs. HVAC UV Lamps

Traditional HVAC UV systems commonly use UV lamps installed inside the air handler.

NorthStar LED uses LED-based UV technology in an in-duct configuration.

The right system depends on the HVAC equipment, installation requirements and homeowner's air-quality goals.

---

Installation

The NorthStar LED is designed for in-duct HVAC installation.

Installation should be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions and appropriate HVAC installation practices.

Before purchasing, verify compatibility with your HVAC system and available installation space.

For homeowners, professional HVAC installation is recommended when required by the equipment or local requirements.

---

Where Is the NorthStar LED Installed?

The system is installed within the HVAC air-distribution system.

Depending on the specific HVAC configuration, installation location and requirements can vary.

A qualified HVAC professional can determine the appropriate installation location for the system.

NorthStar LED for Homes

The NorthStar LED is designed for homeowners who want a centralized air-treatment solution.

It can be considered for:

• Single-family homes

• Townhomes

• Condos

• Apartments

• Vacation properties

• Renovated homes

• New construction

Instead of relying solely on portable air purifiers, homeowners can integrate air treatment directly into their existing HVAC system.

• Installation

• Replacement components

HVAC systems should also continue to receive routine professional maintenance.

---

Air Purification Is Only One Part of Indoor Air Quality

An air purifier should not be considered a substitute for proper HVAC maintenance or addressing the source of indoor-air-quality problems.

For the best overall indoor environment, homeowners should also consider:

HVAC Maintenance

Keep HVAC equipment properly serviced.

Filter Replacement

Use the appropriate HVAC filter and replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Ventilation

Provide appropriate fresh-air ventilation.

Humidity Control

Maintain appropriate indoor humidity.

Source Control

Address smoke, moisture, chemicals and other sources of indoor pollutants.

Air Purification

Add appropriate air-treatment technology to the overall strategy.
