Whole-home aromatherapy
should feel simple.
Erb Aroma uses cold-air diffusion and your home's HVAC airflow to create a consistent scent experience throughout the home. The system is discreet, adjustable, and designed around your home's individual layout.
How It Works
How does Erb Aroma scent my entire home? +
Erb Aroma uses a cold-air diffusion system that works with your home's HVAC airflow. The system creates a fine fragrance mist that is carried through the home's existing ductwork, helping distribute aroma across multiple rooms from one discreet setup.
What is cold-air diffusion? +
Cold-air diffusion converts fragrance oil into an ultra-fine mist without using heat or water. This allows the scent to disperse more evenly and integrate with your home's existing airflow.
Does Erb Aroma work through my vents? +
Yes. When installed with your HVAC system, the fragrance is carried through the same airflow that already moves through your home.
Will every room smell exactly the same? +
Airflow varies from home to home, so scent levels may differ slightly from room to room. The goal is a much more consistent whole-home experience than using individual candles, plug-ins, or small diffusers.
HVAC & Compatibility
Will Erb Aroma work with my existing HVAC system? +
Many residential HVAC systems can accommodate whole-home scent diffusion. During your consultation, we evaluate your equipment, duct layout, square footage, and number of HVAC systems to determine the right configuration.
What if my home has more than one furnace or air handler? +
Homes with multiple HVAC systems may require more than one diffusion point or system to create balanced coverage. We'll recommend the setup that makes the most sense for your home.
Can Erb Aroma work in a large home? +
Yes. Large homes can be configured for whole-home scenting, but the exact setup depends on square footage, airflow, zoning, and the number of HVAC systems.
Can it be installed in new construction? +
Yes. New construction is a great time to plan for a whole-home scent system because equipment placement and HVAC access can be considered early in the project.
Control & Intensity
Can I control how strong the scent is? +
Yes. The system can be adjusted so the fragrance is very subtle or more noticeable depending on your preference.
Does the system run all day? +
It does not need to operate at maximum output continuously. Timing and intensity can be configured around the way you use your home.
Can I turn it off? +
Yes. Your scent system can be turned off whenever you don't want fragrance running.
Can the fragrance become too strong? +
The system is adjustable. We recommend starting lighter and making small adjustments until the scent feels natural in your space.
Scents & Atmospheres
Can I change scents later? +
Yes. You're not permanently locked into one atmosphere. When you're ready for something different, you can switch to another scent in the Erb Aroma collection.
How do I choose the right scent? +
We recommend starting with how you want your home to feel. Calm, grounded, fresh, restorative, peaceful, or energized. From there, we can help narrow down the best atmosphere for your home.
Can different HVAC systems use different scents? +
In some multi-system homes, separate diffusion systems may allow different areas to be scented independently. The exact setup depends on your home's HVAC configuration.
Do I need to use the same scent year-round? +
No. Many homeowners prefer different scent profiles for different seasons, moods, or routines.
Installation
What happens during installation? +
We review your HVAC setup, determine the best location for the equipment, install the system, configure it, and help establish a scent level that feels right for your home.
Will the equipment be visible? +
The system is designed to work discreetly behind the scenes near your HVAC equipment rather than becoming another visible device in your living space.
Does installation damage my HVAC system? +
The system is installed specifically for HVAC-based scent diffusion. We evaluate your setup first and use an installation approach appropriate for the home and equipment.
How long does installation take? +
Installation time depends on the home's size, accessibility, and HVAC configuration. We'll explain what to expect once we've evaluated your specific setup.
Service & Maintenance
How often does the fragrance need to be replaced? +
Fragrance usage depends on system settings, home size, run time, and desired intensity. We can help you understand what to expect based on your particular setup.
Does Erb Aroma offer ongoing service? +
Yes. We can assist with scent changes, refills, adjustments, and ongoing system support.
What if I want the scent adjusted after installation? +
That's completely normal. We can help fine-tune the intensity so the system feels natural in your home.
