More about house air cleaners

Some air purifiers for the entire house are designed to work alongside the forced air heating (furnace) or cooling system (air conditioner) while other types of are installed in the ducts. The best brands tend to be expensive and need to be installed by professionals.

Some factors to consider before purchasing a house air purifier:
- what percentage of the particles are removed as the air circulates through the filter - how efficient is the process?

- how much air is handled per minute by whole house filters - determine the amount of cubic feet that needs to be purified and the length of time it will take to clean that amount. If it takes too long, pollutants may be generated more quickly than they can be removed.

- what proportion of the air in your home is actually directed through the purifier?

- how long does the fan need to run in order to maintain optimum purification?

- what are the ozone levels?

- performance is negatively affected if proper maintenance routines are not followed.

Keeping the whole house clean is great for as long as you are at home. For people on the go, check out a personal air purifier that works anywhere.
