Aerus
Aerus franchises operate fixed-location retail stores that market and sell proprietary air purification, water purification, water conditioners, floor care, and other products and services to create allergy-friendly, clean, and healthy indoor environments for homes and businesses. Franchisees also perform testing and treatments for indoor environmental contaminants and provide repair and maintenance services for Aerus products and certain competitors' products. They target residential customers and select commercial buyers, with sales primarily driven through in-person marketing and product demonstrations under Standard or Associate franchise programs.
