How Do Air Purifiers Work?
An air purifier uses advanced filtration to clean your home’s air, removing pollutants and contaminants that can worsen allergies and respiratory issues.
Your HVAC system draws in air through the return vents where it passes through the air purifier to neutralize airborne particles, ensuring the heated or cooled air that’s circulated back into the room is purified.
There are two types of air purification:
- UV Filtration: A UV or UVC air purifier uses ultraviolet light to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and molds, making them harmless as air passes through the light.
- HEPA Filtration: High-Efficiency Particulate Air filters trap 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger in diameter, including pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, effectively cleaning the air.
Portable vs. Whole-Home Air Purifiers
If you’re considering installing an air purifier, you have two choices: portable and whole-home air purifiers.
- Portable air purifiers work in individual rooms. They provide localized treatment in a home’s most frequently used areas, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
- Whole-home air purifiers are integrated into your HVAC system, circulating purified air throughout your home.
Whole-home air purifiers are the optimal solution if you want consistent and comprehensive purification. They’re more efficient than portable models and require less maintenance. They’re integrated into your HVAC system, meaning they’re out of sight and don’t take up space like portable units.
