SecureAire has introduced the ACS Slim-Line model, a new indoor air quality (IAQ) upgrade designed for rooftop HVAC units, also called RTUs. These common systems provide heating and cooling for many buildings. This new IAQ module fits easily on existing RTUs and installs in less than two hours. It uses UV-C light, which kills germs, and a photocatalytic process that breaks down pollutants. Filters last between six and 12 months and can be replaced without tools. This upgrade makes it simpler for contractors and building managers to improve air quality without major work or long downtime.

What’s Next: Easy IAQ Upgrades for Existing Rooftop Units

Looking ahead, contractors and facility managers can easily improve indoor air quality in existing rooftop HVAC units using SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line model. Because this filter system fits with a tool-free, slim design, it can be installed quickly—often in under two hours—without needing major equipment changes. This makes upgrades practical even for tight rooftop spaces where access is limited. The filter lasts from six to twelve months, depending on the unit’s airflow, reducing the frequency of service visits. Plus, the built-in UV-C and photocatalytic technologies actively reduce germs and pathogens in the air, responding to growing occupant demands for cleaner, healthier indoor environments. Moving forward, using filters like SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line reduces complexity in retrofits and saves time on maintenance, making it a smart choice for those managing aging rooftop units. Focusing on simple, effective IAQ improvements means contractors can deliver real value with less hassle and fewer callbacks.

Market

Rooftop units (RTUs) are popular in many commercial and residential buildings because they handle both heating and cooling in one system mounted on the roof. Many buildings already have RTUs, so upgrading indoor air quality (IAQ) means working with existing setups—not replacing everything. SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line fits this need perfectly. Its slim design makes it easy to install on older RTUs without major changes. That matters because tight rooftop spaces often make complex installs difficult and risky.

Facility managers and HVAC contractors want simple solutions that improve air quality without expensive downtime or big overhauls. The ACS model meets this by allowing quick, tool-free filter changes. Filters last between 6 to 12 months depending on air flow, cutting service calls. With growing awareness about cleaner indoor air, especially after COVID-19, more building owners demand effective upgrades. This adds clear value to a market full of legacy RTUs needing smart, low-disruption solutions. The SecureAire ACS fits well in this space, making IAQ upgrades more accessible and practical.

Technical Features of SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line Model

SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line model is designed for easy installation on rooftop HVAC units, especially those with limited space. Its slim design fits neatly into existing systems without needing major changes. The unit combines UV-C light and photocatalytic technology. UV-C light is a type of ultraviolet light that kills bacteria and viruses. Photocatalytic technology uses a special surface activated by UV light to break down pollutants and organic matter in the air. These two work together to reduce pathogens and improve indoor air quality effectively.

The air filters in this model are long-lasting, typically needing replacement every 6 to 12 months. How long a filter lasts depends on the airflow rate, which varies depending on the size of the HVAC unit—usually between 1,200 and 6,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). A higher airflow may shorten filter life. Also important is the tool-free filter replacement feature, making maintenance simpler and faster, with no need for special tools. Installation is quick, usually under two hours per unit, reducing downtime and labor costs.

Installation and Maintenance Ease

The SecureAire ACS Slim Line model is designed to fit easily onto existing rooftop HVAC units. Its slim design reduces the hassle often faced during retrofit projects by allowing installation in under two hours per unit. This is a significant time saver compared to bulkier air cleaning systems. The filter replacement is tool-free, which means technicians or property managers can change filters quickly and without special equipment. Filters last between six and twelve months, depending on how much air the HVAC unit processes—measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The system also integrates UV-C light and photocatalytic technology. UV-C light kills microorganisms like bacteria and viruses, helping improve indoor air quality without needing major modifications to the rooftop unit. These features reduce service calls and keep the retrofit simple, even in tight rooftop spaces. This makes SecureAire’s ACS Slim Line a practical choice for contractors and facility managers looking for easy upgrades that meet rising demands for cleaner air.
