We have been receiving more and more calls from home owners interested in the SE 400 Commercial Air Cleaners.  Usually a residential air cleaner is kept on the floor, not the ceiling.  Most are small enough to roll around from room to room and keep in a closet.  Similar units are used in medical and dental offices, also becasue of their size and convenience.  But people have been doing research and learning that air purifiers used af smoke eaters work best when located above the contamination source (the smoker).  Lately people have been installing commercial smoke eaters into the ceilings of their home game rooms, bars, workshops, dens… we even heard back from a guy who loves the SE400 he installed in his garage!

And when you think about it, it seems to fit the growing house trend.  We are seeing bigger homes with huge televisions, home theater systems, rec rooms, pool tables, poker tables.  Its like building the pub style bar into your home.  And usually people want to smoke cigars or cigarettes there with their friends while they play, relax or watch a game.  The SE400 is a good solution for these situations.  Often its only a few people smoking every once in a while, but sometimes its as much as 8 people at one time, smoking and playing cards.

We suggest ceiling mounting an SE400 near the area where people like to smoke.  Often the ceiling height may not allow for a large smoke eater, but the SE400 or even the 800, with their unique ability to mount at any depth, make the ideal solution for a home installation.

The way these smoke eaters mount at a variable depth is actually simpler than you may imagine.  The same smooth, finished surface that makes up the grill is continued down the sides of the unit.  The trim pieces that finish the look of an installed smoke eater can fit anywhere along the sides… whether right at the front, for flush appearance (completey recessed) or partway down the side for a partially recessed installation.  And of course, they can be surface mounted, where the sides and grill are in view.
