Air Purifier
About
Only some of us eat food, drink water or wear clothes that hadn’t first been washed or cleaned of impurities, but we always spend our days inhaling polluted air. And when impure air is trapped indoors, it collects dust, mold fungi, smoke and the germs, making it five to ten times dirtier than the air we breathe outside. A good air purifier makes your home or office environment healthier and help people cope with all kinds of allergies, but with so many air purifiers on the market, it can be difficult to buy the right one for you. We will try to help you make the right choice.
What is an air purifier?
An air purifier is a gadget which removes microorganisms from the air. Residential use air purifiers are usually marketed as being particularly beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics, and at dropping down or removing second-hand tobacco smoke. Commercial grade air purifiers are made as both a small stand alone unit, and as larger units that can be affixed to an air handler unit (AHU) or to an HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) unit found in the medical, industrial, and commercial industries.
How to choose the best air purifier for your home?
One of the most important thing to look for when buying an air purifier is the right size for your room. Air purifiers are portable and can be moved from one room to another, provided the rooms are similar in size.
There are many types of air purifiers such as High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters which are considered to be the most efficient air filters, Ion and Ozone Generators which cling to impurities in the air but is important to know that they are dangerous for people with asthma, and Electrostatic air purifier which uses charged plates that capture impurities in the air.
If you buy a large standing air filter that will cover a large area, you will want to choose a model that will blend in with your space. An air purifier doesn’t have to be an eyesore, so look around online to get the best one for your options.
A medium priced air purifier costs about 200$ but may be low maintenance, with no filters, no fan speeds and no controls. A good air filter costs about $400 but it has an internal ionizer with a HEPA carbon filter which will last at least 6 months, as well as a low noise level and four fan speeds.
