The HVAC industry is undergoing a radical change that goes beyond simply regulating indoor temperature. By 2025, Grupo Aplus anticipates that the focus will be on emotional well-being, indoor air quality, and the health of those who inhabit these spaces. This transformation responds to a growing demand for solutions that, in addition to cooling or heating, promote healthy and comfortable environments.
Concern about indoor air quality in homes has significantly increased in recent years, partly driven by remote work and the time people spend at home. Many are now looking for HVAC systems that are not only energy-efficient, but also protect respiratory health and promote an environment conducive to rest and concentration.
Industry-leading brands, such as LG, are at the forefront of this new vision. Their range of ducted air conditioning systems has been specifically designed to create healthy environments. A standout example is the Plasmaster Plus Ionizer, a technology capable of eliminating up to 99% of microorganisms and allergens in the air. This is complemented by an automatic cleaning function supported by UVnano technology, ensuring the hygiene of the equipment and preventing the proliferation of bacteria.
Modern air conditioners also offer innovative features such as the Gentle Air mode, which provides a less invasive indirect breeze, perfect for moments of meditation, rest, or study. Units that include this feature, along with silent motors, are enhancing the home experience for those who prioritize well-being.
Luis Quesada Molina, commercial director of Grupo Aplus, points out that air conditioning has become a self-care tool. More and more, consumers are looking for equipment that fits their routines and improves their quality of life, demonstrating a shift in their priorities towards a more health and wellness-oriented approach.
Recent research has established a direct link between air quality and emotional state, suggesting that poorly conditioned environments can lead to health issues such as irritability and allergies. This reality not only affects individuals but also represents an opportunity for installers and distributors to offer solutions that truly enhance people’s lives.
Grupo Aplus emphasizes that these health-focused HVAC systems are already available, able to be integrated into new constructions or serve as replacements in existing installations. This advancement marks the beginning of a new era in HVAC centered on human needs.
