History
Beginning in 1992, the AbsolutAire brand had one goal in mind: to establish a new standard for leadership in direct-fired make-up air and heating and ventilating solutions.
Purchasing the assets of Duo-Aire, Inc., Jack Budnick and Robert Jauch focused their many years of experience in the direct-fired marketplace to make an absolute commitment to total value with the best available technology.
