Modern PURAIR® has quietly dominated the Canadian indoor air quality (IAQ) space for years — and now they’re finally expanding into the United States. In this episode, founder & CEO Lane Martin shares how he scaled from a single duct truck to a nationwide IAQ brand known for world-class customer experience and a powerful sales center that converts 86% of residential calls.
We break down why the U.S. market is the perfect storm for growth, how Modern PURAIR® blends residential cash flow with commercial recurring revenue, and why this “unsexy industry” is about to boom.
Topics we cover:
• How Lane rebuilt his life and career through the IAQ industry
• Why air quality demand exploded after COVID
• The fragmented U.S. market and why that’s a huge opportunity
• Modern PURAIR®’s proprietary tech + customer experience playbook
• The power of commercial PMA contracts & HOA recurring revenue
• Why top franchisees follow the “5 decision-maker conversations/day” rule
• What the ideal franchisee looks like (and who shouldn’t apply)
If this brand sparks your interest, reach out — U.S. territory is wide open right now.
