What Are the Benefits of Installing a REME HALO?

Q: I’ve heard about the REME HALO for indoor air quality. What does it do, and is it worth installing?

A: A REME HALO is a whole-home indoor air quality device installed in your ductwork. As air moves through your system, the REME HALO treats the air in the ducts, helping to reduce certain odors, particles, and airborne contaminants throughout the home. For many Citrus County homeowners, it’s a powerful add-on to filters and UV lights.

1. How a REME HALO Works with Your AC System

The REME HALO is mounted in the supply ductwork so that it can treat air as it leaves the air handler.

• Helps reduce certain odors (cooking, pet, musty smells)
• Targets airborne particles as they circulate through the duct system
• Works whenever your AC or fan is running

It doesn’t replace your filter — it works alongside it as part of a whole-home IAQ approach.

2. Odor Reduction and “Freshness”

One of the most noticeable benefits for many homeowners is a fresher-smelling home. While results vary, the REME HALO is often installed to help with:

• Pet odors
• Cooking smells
• Lingering musty odors connected to the duct system

3. Helping with Dust and Particles

A REME HALO can help clump some microscopic particles together so that your filters can catch them more easily as they pass through the system.

For best results, it should be paired with a properly sized and installed filter: Which AC Air Filter Should I Use in My Home?

4. REME HALO vs. Portable Room Air Purifiers

Portable purifiers only clean the air in the room they’re placed in. A REME HALO treats air moving through the duct system to benefit the whole home.

• No need to move units from room to room
• Works in the background whenever the system runs

5. When a REME HALO Is a Good Fit

You may want to consider a REME HALO if:

• You notice odors that don’t go away with regular cleaning
• You have pets or cook frequently
• You’re already using better filters and want to take IAQ a step further
• You want a whole-home solution instead of multiple room devices

6. Pairing with UV Lights and Duct Improvements

A REME HALO works best as part of a combined IAQ strategy that may include:

• UV light at the coil (Should I Install a UV Light in My Air Handler?)
• Duct sealing to reduce dusty or musty air leaks (Do Leaky or Dirty Ducts Affect Indoor Air Quality?)
• Appropriate filters and regular maintenance
