Woodland Hills HVAC Contractor Discounts Whole-Home Air Scrubber to $875 as Wildfire Smoke Blankets Los Angeles County
WOODLAND HILLS, CA – Jun 1, 2026 – With smoke from the Sandy Fire in Simi Valley, the Bain Fire in Riverside County, and multiple other active wildfires drifting across Southern California, LA Heating and Air Conditioning is reducing the installed price of the Aerus Air Scrubber from $1,250 to $875 for the next 30 days to help Los Angeles families keep their indoor air safe.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued smoke advisories this week covering Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Health officials are urging residents to stay indoors. But staying indoors may not be enough.
YOUR AC SYSTEM MAY BE MAKING INDOOR AIR WORSE
Most homeowners close their windows during smoke events and assume their home is protected. The opposite is often true. Standard residential HVAC systems pull outdoor air through return vents and ductwork, circulating smoke particles throughout every room in the house each time the system cycles.
“The standard one-inch furnace filter in most LA homes is rated MERV 8 or lower. It catches dust and pet hair. It does almost nothing against the fine particulate matter in wildfire smoke, says Matthew Stupak, Marketing Director, LA Heating and Air.”
PM2.5 particles, the most dangerous component of wildfire smoke, are small enough to pass through standard air filters, penetrate deep into the lungs, and enter the bloodstream. The EPA reports that during major wildfire events, indoor PM2.5 concentrations can reach two to five times higher than outdoor levels because particles settle into duct systems and recirculate with every fan cycle.
WHAT THE AIR SCRUBBER DOES DIFFERENTLY
Unlike portable air purifiers that clean a single room, the Aerus Air Scrubber installs directly into the home’s existing HVAC ductwork and uses ActivePure technology to neutralize smoke particles, volatile organic compounds, ash residue, and odor throughout the entire house. The system runs automatically whenever the HVAC operates. There are no filters to replace and no maintenance required.
“Portable HEPA filters are better than nothing, but families end up crowding into one bedroom with a single unit while the rest of the house fills with smoke,” Stupak said. “The Air Scrubber cleans the air in every room, including bedrooms where your kids sleep. That is the difference families notice immediately.”
Customers who have the system installed report sleeping through the night during smoke events without irritation, even when neighbors in the same block are dealing with smoke odor and eye irritation inside their own homes.
MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS NEED MORE THAN A CLOSED WINDOW
The California Air Resources Board has documented that wildfire smoke causes disproportionate harm to children under 12, adults over 65, pregnant women, and anyone with asthma, COPD, or cardiovascular conditions. PM2.5 particles bypass the body’s normal defenses and enter the bloodstream directly through the lungs.
“We are offering this discount because families need protection right now, not next month,” Stupak said. “A parent with an asthmatic child should not have to choose between their budget and their kid being able to breathe at night.”
Residents across the San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Woodland Hills, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Northridge, Van Nuys, Studio City, Burbank, Glendale, and surrounding communities are affected by current smoke conditions.
AIR SCRUBBER VS. PORTABLE FILTER VS. HEPA FURNACE FILTER
For homeowners weighing their options during active smoke events:
A portable air purifier pulls air through a HEPA filter in one room. It helps that single room but does nothing for the rest of the house. Cost: $200 to $800 per unit, per room.
A MERV 13 or higher furnace filter captures up to 95 percent of PM2.5 in the airflow but does not remove smoke odor or volatile organic compounds. During active fire events, these filters clog within days. Cost: $30 to $80 per filter, replaced frequently during fire season.
The Aerus Air Scrubber actively destroys smoke particles, VOCs, and odor compounds at the duct level using ActivePure technology. It provides continuous 24-hour coverage throughout the entire home, up to 3,000 square feet. It addresses smoke odor, which standard filtration cannot. Cost: $875 installed through LA Heating and Air for the next 30 days (regular price $1,250).
For the strongest protection, Stupak recommends pairing a high MERV filter with an Air Scrubber. The filter catches the larger particles. The Air Scrubber destroys what gets through, plus the smoke odor that no filter can touch.
PRICING, AVAILABILITY, AND INSTALLATION
The Aerus Air Scrubber is available fully installed for $875 (regular price $1,250) for the next 30 days. Installation takes less than two hours and works with any existing central HVAC system. No modifications to the home are required. Same-day and next-day installation is available across Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and the San Fernando Valley.
