AirFront Limited - Working alongside you for guaranteed results.

AirFront Limited was setup by Mervin Burns and Daren Lowndes with a view to improving the Indoor Air Quality for people and also helping people to understand the importance of maintaining good IAQ and how to know its being done correctly. With almost 60 years of direct experience, operating their own companies in the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning HVAC industry, AirFront Limited was born.

Building on their already established HVAC root, they began development of innovative smart sensors to help people better understand the quality of the air they are breathing and also what to do about it.

Once real-world data started being recorded by AirFront Limited sensor system (NIA airSmart), it was quickly realised that the vast majority of air conditioning systems were either poorly maintained, with no traceability, or poorly designed and installed. This realisation led to our multifaceted approach to inexpensively upgrade HVAC systems to at least provide people with the quality of air that they should be getting.

These upgrades include the AirFront Limited air purification systems, air filter optimisation and monitoring so as that our customers and their customers and staff know what is in the air that they are breathing.
