How Renaud Air is Making Indoor Air Clean and Affordable in Hong Kong

Owing to reduced economic activities on the heels of the pandemic, Hong Kong saw its best air quality in 26 years in 2022. While restricted mobility and industry activities during COVID-19 contributed to this, air experts from the government said the development was the result of years-long concerted efforts to curb pollution.

But despite this discernible improvement, work towards clean air is far from done. The government recently kicked off a two-month public consultation on its latest review of the city’s Air Quality Objectives, with a proposal to tighten its current goals and add new parameters based on the World Health Organization.

Outside government efforts, citizen initiatives to curb pollution are also crucial. Even in households, having good indoor air quality is vital for the health and well-being of families. Studies show that indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than outdoor air pollution as the contaminants are trapped with us inside our building. As you spend a significant amount of time inside your home (or in the office), the air you breathe directly impacts your respiratory health, allergies, and overall comfort. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a range of health issues, including respiratory infections, asthma, allergies, and even long-term health conditions.

Here are some factors why indoor air pollution may be worse than outdoor pollution:

• Poor ventilation: Indoor spaces can have limited air circulation compared to the outdoors.
• Indoor pollutants: There are numerous potential sources of indoor pollutants, including cooking fumes, cleaning products, tobacco smoke, building materials, furniture, carpets, and appliances. These can release harmful chemicals and particulate matter into the air, leading to respiratory problems and other health issues.
• Mold and moisture: Poorly maintained indoor spaces can have issues with moisture, which can result in the growth of mold and mildew.
• Allergens: Indoor environments can harbor various allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores. Individuals with allergies or asthma may experience worsened symptoms indoors due to these allergens.
• Lack of outdoor air exchange: In certain situations, indoor air is not adequately exchanged with fresh outdoor air. This can happen in sealed buildings, energy-efficient homes, or spaces with malfunctioning ventilation systems.

To address this, consumers are turning to air purifiers to improve the air they breathe indoors, where they spend most of their time. An industry report published in March 2023 showed that the air purifier market is expected to grow even more—a trend seen at the height of the pandemic—as people become more aware of indoor air pollution and its impact on health.

However, high-quality air purifiers are not cheap. They are investments that yield long-term benefits. When you invest in a high-quality air purifier, you also invest in cleaner and healthier air for you and your loved ones. Banking on this, Renaud Air, a Hong Kong-based online store for household appliances, understands the pain point of high upfront costs and offers a unique solution to enjoy the benefits of clean air without breaking the bank - by renting medical-grade air purifiers in Hong Kong.

Where to Rent Air Purifiers in Hong Kong

By paying a reasonable monthly rental fee, you can experience the perks of having an air purifier without depleting your savings and compromising on other essential expenses. By improving the air quality within your home or office, you can potentially reduce the need for medication, doctor visits, and missed days of work due to respiratory issues or allergies. Additionally, these purifiers help prolong the lifespan of electronic devices, furniture, and other household items by minimising the accumulation of dust and other particles that can cause damage over time.

Renting an air purifier from Renaud Air also gives you the peace of mind that comes with comprehensive customer support. They take care of regular maintenance, servicing, and even filter replacements, ensuring that the purifier is functioning optimally throughout the rental period. This hassle-free experience allows users to solely focus on enjoying the clean air and not worry about the device's upkeep.

Renaud understands that circumstances and needs may change over time. Renting allows you the flexibility to try different models or upgrade to the latest technology without any long-term commitment. At present, Renaud offers two medical-grade air purifiers for rent in Hong Kong. The first one is the RA488 model, a sleek air purifier with seven-stage filtration that can cover 1,100 square feet at full speed. It promises to filter 99.97% of PM0.3 air pollutant by using H13 HEPA filter such as pollen, dust, smoke and mould. It also adopts a high-efficient UV disinfection technology that eliminates 99.98% of bacteria found in the air. 

Another model is the PDC-NANO Air Purifier, a more compact air purifier that’s just slightly bigger than a shoe box! Unlike, other air purifiers found on the market, this model releases reactive oxygen species to kill germs actively, as well as reduces secondary air pollution. It covers up to 200 square feet.

Aside from HEPA 13 Filter, both models use patented technology, which is said to be more effective in filtering chemicals than the usual activated carbon technology found on other models. This technology was developed by the R&D center at the government-backed Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Limited.

How Much to Rent Air Purifiers in Hong Kong

Renaud’s RA488 air purifier can be rented for only HK$299 per month for 12 months (HK$6,900 list price). If, along the way, you decided to purchase it, you can do so for only HK$3,312 after completing the 12-month rental.

Meanwhile, you can rent the PDC-NANO Air Purifier for only HK$169 per month (HK$3,800 list price) for 12 months. You also have the option to purchase the unit for HK$1,772 after your 12-month rental.

To make it easier for consumers, Renaud recently introduced a rent-to-own option. For only HK$268 a month for 36 months, you can have your own RA488 medical-grade air purifier. That already includes five replacement filters worth HK$3,450, two cleanings worth HK$900, and warranty coverage.
