Eric is the CEO of Dimaros, an IT firm specialising in designing and developing cloud-based solutions. The company operates from an old mansion, and the combination of historic architecture with rooms packed with equipment created poor air quality. When the pandemic struck, the decision to invest in an air purifier became inevitable. Discover his story with AmazingAir here!"
Mansion
"Our IT company is young and expanding. Earlier this year, before installing an AmazingAir purifier, we relocated to a new office. We moved into a beautiful, historic mansion in the heart of the city. Although it was last renovated more than fifteen years ago, it is still classic and timeless, with high ceilings, elegant stained-glass windows and refined details.'
Musty air
"Before we moved in, the property had stood empty for some time. It also features a traditional cellar, which had a history of leaks. You could still sense it when we first stepped inside, a strong musty odour hung in the air. It wasn’t exactly pleasant. On top of that, being an IT company, we have a considerable amount of hardware in the office. All that equipment affects the indoor atmosphere. It’s hard to put into words, but when you’re in a space filled only with computers and technical devices, a kind of ‘mechanical’ smell inevitably lingers."
(Fine) dust
"After standing empty for two years, the building required significant maintenance. A few months ago, we all pitched in for a major clean-up, and the wooden floors had to be restored. Sanding them created an enormous amount of dust. We opened the windows to get rid of the stale air, but it only helped to a limited extent. Being situated on a busy street didn’t make things better – plenty of fine dust drifted in from outside. Not exactly reassuring. Luckily, our AmazingAir purifier arrived that very week. We set it up straight away and instantly felt the improvement in air quality."
Easy
“Setting up AmazingAir couldn’t have been simpler. I work in IT and consider myself a real techie, but only on the software side. That’s why I was a bit doubtful about handling the installation. To my surprise, it was straightforward: all we needed to do was install a filter and everything was clearly labelled. The filter itself is long-lasting and efficient. Despite the unit’s compact size, it’s powerful enough to purify large areas. In fact, the air in our 100 m² training room is completely refreshed twice within an hour! On top of that, we were impressed by the design. Visitors often assume it’s some futuristic, high-tech gadget, and in many ways, it is, yet it remains remarkably easy to use.”
Coronavirus
“The pandemic was also a decisive factor in our choice to improve air quality. While we offer our staff the flexibility to work from home, some colleagues prefer coming into the office. For them, we introduced safety measures such as spacing out desks, but we also wanted complete reassurance when it came to clean air. With AmazingAir, we don't have to worry about this. Knowing that the system eliminates aerosols and captures up to 99.97% of Covid-19 particles provides a real sense of safety and peace of mind.”
No brainer
“Most people in Europe have now experienced a Covid infection. Remarkably, we’ve not had a single case among our colleagues. We arranged the office with desks spaced 1.5 metres apart, but we believe the real reason lies in the clean air that AmazingAir provides. We’ve also seen how crucial good air quality is for team members and visitors with sensitive airways. Investing in health and in the quality of the working environment is essential. You should never save on that!'
