Austin Air

Nearly 3 decades ago, Richard Taylor founded the company Austin Air Systems. Introducing medical grade HEPA air purification to residential customers.

He noticed asthma attacks were more frequent at night as hormonal changes take place and lying down causes the airways to narrow. Together these factors increase the chance of a night time asthma attack. Back then, the only advice doctors had to offer was to avoid asthma triggers like bedding and carpeting or take medication. He knew there had to be a better solution.

Studies had shown that HEPA filtration, used in hospitals at that time, was effective at removing contaminants from the environment. So he developed the first HEPA air purifier, designed for domestic use.

To this day, it is still the most effective air purifier on the market.
