How Does an Air Purifier Work?
An air purifier works in one of two ways. It either has a strong air filter that captures and traps harmful particles in the air so that they cannot recirculate through your home or it uses a powerful UV light to neutralize harmful particles.
With a whole-house model, the air purifier gets installed directly inside of your HVAC system, where the air will pass by before blowing out into your home. This is the best way to ensure that 100% of the air in your home is clean around the clock without any manual work or hassle.
Can I Just Buy a Portable Model?
You may be tempted to stop by a local hardware store and purchase a small air purifier that you can plug into the wall and move around your home. The problem with this is that the air will never be 100% clean. Yes, these portable air purifiers can remove a large number of harmful particles from the air.
However, a small unit cannot clean all the air in your home at one time. Instead, you’ll find yourself moving it around and cleaning the air one room at a time. As you move it, one room will be getting cleaner while another one steadily builds up more germs and allergens.
This is because you are constantly bringing particles inside your home after being away. A portable model is great if you have a very small space like a studio apartment or a office. But it won’t do enough for your larger home and you may not see the air quality difference that you expect.
Benefits of Cleaner Air
When there are fewer allergens in the air, you will notice a reduction in allergy symptoms, both for seasonal allergens and other allergens like pet dander. You’ll also get sick less often since germs and bacteria will not continue recirculating again and again through your HVAC system.
Even when you wipe down surfaces in your home, there are still germs and allergens in the air. Having an air purifier can actually help you with cleaning as well since there will be fewer harmful particles in the air landing on counters and other surfaces.
Plus, your home will smell better. Odors from your bathrooms, pets, and even cleaning chemicals can make your home smell bad, even if you can’t pinpoint exactly what the bad odor is. An air purifier will get rid of these bad odors so that you can breathe easy.
