The Legacy HVAC Challenge

High Static Pressure & Constant Landfill Waste

Conventional disposable MERV 13–16 and HEPA media filters restrict airflow as they load with dust — forcing HVAC supply fans to draw significantly more kWh, driving up replacement labor, and sending tons of soiled fiberglass and cardboard frames to landfills every quarter.

The Vetted Blade Air Solution

Reusable-Frame Electronic Filtration

BD Solutions vetted Blade Air's drop-in reusable-frame filtration system. By polarizing airborne particulates without dense media restriction, Blade Air captures ultra-fine contaminants down to 0.007 microns while maintaining ultra-low pressure drop.
