Select the Best Air Purifier for Your Palm Beach Home

Air purifiers today are efficient at cleaning indoor air and are even easy on the energy budget. There are many different types of air purifiers that use different materials and techniques to remove airborne pollutants. This is because every home contains different types and percentages of contaminants. So, the best air purifier for your home is one that benefits your air quality needs the most.

Portable or Whole-Home Air Purifier?

It’s not uncommon for household and airborne contaminants to plague the average home and its occupants. Odors may be prevalent, while mold and mildew may occupy rooms and closets that receive little sunlight. Pollen can be a problem much of the year for allergy sufferers, which may accumulate in your air ducts.

The good news is that you can choose the exact type of air purifier you need. The first choice is to decide if you need a portable or room air purifier, or if a whole-home air purification system would better serve the needs of household occupants. A portable purifier can be bulky and difficult to move. Instead, you can opt for a small table-top model. In contrast, whole-home air purifiers are installed inside air ducts and actually require less maintenance overall.

Best Air Purifier for Your Home

Air purifiers contain different materials to capture and destroy contaminants. The following features are popular choices for portable and whole-home air purifiers:

  • HEPA: High-efficiency particulate air filters, or HEPA, are top-of-the-line filters that remove up to 99.97 percent of contaminants down to 0.3 microns.
  • Electronic precipitators: Electronic air cleaners give an electrical charge to contaminants, which then attract to electrically-charged plates. These air cleaners are washable, can last for years and don’t restrict airflow through your HVAC system.
  • Activated carbon: Activated carbon filters are designed to remove odors. They’re often included in air-purification systems that combine different technologies.
  • UV light: Ultraviolet (UV) light systems neutralize and destroy microorganisms, such as mold spores, viruses and bacteria. They also operate silently in whole-home systems.
