Key Takeaway
Aerus Electrolux—formerly the North American floorcare division of Electrolux and now an independent company—has evolved into a leader in indoor air purification technology. Its proprietary ActivePure system uses photocatalytic oxidation to actively neutralize airborne and surface contaminants in real time, promoting healthier, cleaner indoor environments for homes and businesses. This legacy of air purifier innovation and commitment to science-backed performance has positioned Aerus as one of the most trusted names in air quality improvement.
Formerly part of the Electrolux Group’s North American operations, Aerus became an independent company in 2003 and now operates separately from Electrolux AB of Sweden. This distinction clarifies legacy “Aerus Electrolux” references that appear across historical branding and product literature. Long Island Clean Water Service proudly installs and services Aerus technology across Nassau and Suffolk counties, providing homeowners with proven, research-backed indoor air quality solutions.
The Story Behind Aerus Electrolux
If you’ve ever noticed your home’s air feeling “stale,” you’re not alone. Everyday activities like cooking, cleaning, or even running HVAC systems can release particles, odors, and microbes that build up indoors. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that indoor pollutant levels can often be two to five times higher than outdoor air, making air purification an essential part of a healthy home environment.
That’s where Aerus Electrolux comes in. Once part of Electrolux’s North American division, Aerus transformed from a household appliance brand into a pioneer in environmental health technology. Its mission today is simple but ambitious: to deliver cleaner air through science-driven innovation that improves daily life for families and businesses alike—especially in high-density regions like Long Island, where indoor air quality challenges are more pronounced.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can raise the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illness by as much as 20%.
Another NIH review found that microbial aerosols—tiny airborne bacteria, fungi, and viral particles—can linger for hours, often circulating through poorly ventilated buildings. These findings highlight why technologies that go beyond passive filtration, like ActivePure, are essential to maintaining healthy indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
With decades of experience in the region, Long Island Clean Water Service understands the unique challenges of air quality on Long Island—especially the mix of coastal humidity, pollen, and urban pollutants that affect both indoor comfort and HVAC performance. Our partnership with Aerus allows us to bring nationally proven purification technology to local homes and businesses with expert installation and personalized service.
How Aerus Electrolux Redefines Air Purification Through Innovation
At the heart of every Aerus air purifier is ActivePure—a patented photocatalytic oxidation process that continuously neutralizes contaminants in the air and on surfaces. Unlike traditional filters that simply trap particles, this advanced photocatalytic technology releases active molecules that destroy viruses, bacteria, and mold at the molecular level.
Research from Medical Design & Outsourcing reports that ActivePure’s photohydrolysis process can inactivate a wide range of airborne pathogens within minutes of exposure—making it one of the few consumer-ready systems proven to perform real-time pathogen inactivation.
For a closer look at how Aerus compares to other leading purification systems, see our Aerus vs. EcoWater comparison. While Aerus is best known for air purification, the company also extends its science-backed approach to water treatment. Its systems use multi-stage filtration and ultraviolet light to reduce sediment, chlorine, and unpleasant tastes—an approach consistent with EPA guidance on layered filtration and UV disinfection for healthier environments.
This secondary focus on water demonstrates Aerus’s broader commitment to whole-home wellness and environmental safety.
Real-World Benefits of Aerus Air Purifiers for Healthier Living
Cleaner indoor air directly influences how people feel and function. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) links improved air quality to reduced respiratory irritation, better sleep quality, and stronger immune response over time. By continuously reducing airborne particles, VOCs, and microbial contaminants, Aerus air purifiers support those same outcomes—without the noise, bulk, or frequent maintenance common in traditional systems.
For families, this means fresher air, fewer odors, and reduced triggers for allergies and asthma. For schools, healthcare settings, and offices, continuous purification supports occupant comfort, cognitive performance, and overall well-being.
The ability to maintain 24/7 purification in high-traffic or shared environments is part of what makes Aerus systems trusted by both homeowners and professionals.

Who Benefits Most from Aerus Purification
While every home can benefit from cleaner air, Aerus systems are especially valuable for households with allergy sufferers, young children, or elderly residents. They’re also an excellent fit for pet owners and those living near coastal or high-traffic areas—common throughout Long Island—where humidity, salt, and pollutants can make air quality worse.
