In-Duct, Not At The Coil Since 1976 CAC029376

REME HALO LED

A coil lamp treats the coil. This mounts in the supply plenum and treats the air as it moves, so the treatment travels out through the ductwork to the rooms you actually sit in. Whether that is what you need depends on what is wrong with your air.

The Straight Answer

Where It Sits Is The Point

Most HVAC purification is mounted at the coil. That works on the coil surface and does very little past it. The REME HALO LED installs in the supply plenum instead, so it acts on the air stream the system is about to deliver, and the treatment is carried through the ducts to the occupied rooms.

It uses LED-based ionization with RGF's PHI and REME technologies. For a device running inside your ductwork the specification matters more than the marketing: a replaceable long-life LED cell, ionizers that clean themselves rather than needing attention, and a washable hybrid catalyst rated for high-load use.

It is mercury-free and zero ozone compliant. That is worth asking about with any ionizing product, because not every device sold in this category can say it, and ozone generation has been a real problem with some of them.

What Prompts The Call

What Sends People Looking For This

These are the complaints in-duct treatment is actually suited to. Notice that none of them are about dust you can see, which is a filtration problem rather than a purification one.

Odours Moving Between Rooms

Cooking, pets and general staleness that does not stay where it started, because the duct system is carrying it everywhere the air goes.

Air That Feels Heavy

Common in tightly sealed Florida construction, where the airtightness that lowers the power bill also means very little fresh air gets in on its own.

VOC Buildup

Compounds released indoors by finishes, cleaning products and furnishings, accumulating because there is nowhere for them to go.

Symptoms Indoors, Not Outdoors

Complaints that appear inside and ease once you leave. That pattern points at the indoor air rather than at the pollen count.

Worth knowing: two of these often have a cheaper cause. Air that feels heavy is usually humidity, and a dehumidifier treats that directly for less money. Dust that keeps returning is usually a filter that does not seal or ducts that leak, and adding purification will not stop either. Ask for those to be checked before you buy anything.

How It Differs

Three Approaches, Three Different Jobs

Filtration, coil UV and in-duct treatment get discussed as if they compete. They do not. They act in different places, and the right one depends entirely on which problem you have.

What You Are Comparing Filtration Coil UV Lamp REME HALO LED
What it acts on Particles that pass through the media The evaporator coil surface The moving air stream in the supply
How far the effect reaches Only air that actually passes the filter The coil, and very little beyond it Out through the ducts to the rooms
What it will not do Nothing for odours or VOCs Nothing for the air in your rooms It is not a filter and will not replace one
Ongoing cost Filters replaced on schedule Lamp replaced, typically yearly LED cell replaced at a long interval
Start here if Dust and pollen are the complaint Growth is forming on a damp coil Odours or VOCs are the complaint
Worth knowing: ask what the LED cell costs and how often it needs changing before you agree to anything. That number is the real cost of owning the thing and it is the easiest line to leave off a quote. If the answer is vague, that tells you something. See coil purification and air filtration for the other two approaches.

The Total Comfort Way

How We Install It

Five steps, and the first one is the one that decides whether the other four are worth doing.

STEP 01

Compatibility And Airflow First

HVAC compatibility verified rather than assumed, and airflow and static pressure measured before anything goes in the duct. Anything added to a duct system can disturb the balance the equipment depends on.

STEP 02

Supply Plenum Mount

Fitted in-duct within the supply plenum, upstream of the air the system is about to distribute, which is what gives it reach past the equipment.

STEP 03

Positioned In The Airflow Path

Placed so treatment distributes across the moving air rather than pooling at one point. Position is the difference between a device that works and one that is merely installed.

STEP 04

Electrical Integration

Wiring and power integrated safely and cycled with the HVAC equipment, so it runs when the system runs without needing to be remembered.

STEP 05

Commissioned, Cell Interval Recorded

Operationally tested before handover, warranty registered, and the expected LED cell life written down and checked at maintenance visits rather than left for you to discover.

Common Questions

REME HALO LED Questions

Position and reach. A coil light points at the evaporator surface and works on that surface. This mounts in the supply plenum and treats the air moving past it, so the effect travels through the ductwork into the rooms.

If your problem is growth on the coil, a coil light addresses it directly and costs less. If it is the air throughout the property, in-duct is the better fit. Plenty of homes have a reason for both, and plenty have a reason for neither.

No. It is zero ozone compliant and mercury-free.

Ask this about any ionizing air purification product, from anyone. Ozone generation has been a genuine concern with some devices sold in this category, and a contractor who cannot answer the question about a product they are proposing has not done their homework on it.

The LED cell is the ongoing cost. It has a long service life, but it is a consumable and it does need replacing, and that is the figure to get in writing before you commit.

Beyond the cell, upkeep is light. The ionizers are self-cleaning and the catalyst is washable, which removes most of the routine attention older designs demanded.

It should not, and we measure rather than assume. Airflow and static pressure are evaluated as part of the installation, because anything placed in a duct has the potential to alter the balance the equipment was set up around.

The same check serves the purification working properly, since correct positioning in the airflow path is what gives it its reach.

It runs while the HVAC system runs, because it needs air moving past it to do anything. In Florida, with cooling operating for most of the year, that adds up to good coverage in practice.

If your system cycles unusually little, a rarely occupied property for instance, say so before you choose. You would be getting proportionally less treatment for the same purchase price.

Often it is not, and we would rather work that out before you spend the money.

If the real issue is humidity, a dehumidifier addresses the cause. If it is growth on a damp coil, coil treatment targets it. If it is dust and pollen, better filtration is cheaper and enough on its own. This suits odours, VOCs and whole-property air treatment. Ask us which category you are actually in and we will tell you, including when the answer costs us the sale.
