CaptiveAire's Fresh Air Restaurant System vastly improves kitchen ventilation, providing worry-free operation and a healthy environment with an all-in-one system.
Fresh Air
Restaurant System vs.
Traditional System
Fresh Air vs. Recirculated Contaminants
Traditional systems recirculate air along with viruses, contaminants, grease, and odors. The Fresh Air Restaurant System continuously brings in highly filtered, clean outdoor air to significantly reduce airborne pathogens, allergies, microbial activities, and mold.
Comfortable vs. Uncomfortable
Humidity increases and large temperature swings are common in traditional systems, but you don't have to settle for mediocrity. Precision temperature and humidity control are easily achieved with the Fresh Air Restaurant System, providing a more comfortable experience for customers and staff alike.
Efficient vs. Expensive
Inefficient traditional systems have to work harder to achieve less than adequate results that come with costly utility bills. Our all-in-one system achieves maximum efficiency for impressive utility savings. Because one system does it all, your install costs are lower too, with only one roof penetration and one duct system. That means more money in your pocket.
Integrated vs. Disjointed
Traditional kitchen systems are made up of multiple units that compete with each other. Multiple equipment suppliers mean no one wants to take responsibility for any problems that arise. The Fresh Air Restaurant System is specifically designed to work as a singular solution and is backed by CASService, our nationwide team of in-house service technicians.
User-Friendly vs. Hard to Manage
Traditional systems often have a myriad of issues that are hard to track and impossible to predict. Unit downtime can lead to thousands in lost revenue. Our state-of-the-art system comes standard with CASLink, our proprietary building management system, allowing you to monitor and control your entire system from any device, at any time. CASLink's simple interface allows you to quickly make remote adjustments or address issues in real-time.

Effortless operations.
CaptiveAire makes it easy for restaurants to implement and maintain the Fresh Air Restaurant System, from pre-construction to daily controls.
One Source
The single-source system ensures a headache-free experience, so you won't get caught up in the hassle of coordinating details with numerous manufacturers.
Cost Saving
Paragon HVAC is built with up to a 21.3 Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER), over 1.5x the ASHRAE standard, saving energy as well as utility costs.
Easy to Manage
CASLink, our in-house building management system included standard with every Fresh Air Restaurant System, offers 24/7 remote monitoring with no monthly fees. Just log in from any device, see performance data, and adjust system settings at any time.
Built to Last
Paragon HVAC is designed to last 25 years, bringing you peace of mind and a level of quality that is second to none. Every unit comes standard with a 5-year parts warranty. An extended 10-year full unit warranty is included at no extra charge when maintained with a CASService Preventative Maintenance subscription (terms and conditions apply).
The Solution to Pollution is
Dilution.
With precision temperature and humidity controls and delivery of up to 100% healthy, filtered outside air, the Fresh Air Restaurant System dilutes the concentration of possible contaminants and keeps patrons and staff comfortable and safe, no matter the season.
Fresh, Healthy Air
Unhealthy air containing viruses, contaminants, grease, odors, and heat are exhausted out of the building, while outdoor air is filtered, dehumidified, and conditioned before entering the building, keeping clean air continuously flowing.
Comfortable Environment
With variable speed components and precision controls, the Fresh Air Restaurant System automatically adjusts heating and cooling capacities to provide a comfortable atmosphere for diners and cooking staff alike.

Harvard Business School - April 20, 2020
Will you ever again step onto a crowded elevator without hesitation? Reach for a doorknob without concern (or gloves)? Easing social distancing restrictions might reopen businesses, but as long as memories of COVID-19 lockdowns are still fresh in people's minds, the experience of being inside an office building most likely will not return to "normal."
