When you think of an air purifier, you may envision small, portable units for individual rooms that you can purchase from just about any wholesaler or hardware store. These aren’t necessarily “bad” options—if you need it for a single room or a studio apartment. But you aren’t going to get the full benefits of air purification with these small units.
Rather, you need a whole-house air purifier, whether it’s an electronic air cleaner, UV air purifier, or in some cases even both. Why?
Because it’s cost-effective. Small, portable air purification units can only manage a room or two at a time. Instead of buying multiple units to place around your living space, a whole-house system can be much more cost-efficient.
Additionally, there’s no need to worry about replacing the filters and maintaining several portable units. Rather, you’ll only have one system that’s integrated right into your HVAC and can be accessed and serviced by your professional HVAC technician.
Because it’s convenient. A whole-house air purifier typically can be integrated straight into your HVAC system or its ductwork. This means you’ll never need to worry about space being taken up by portable air cleaners, nor do you have to deal with the noise they make.
Plus, you’ll have uniform air quality throughout your entire home, whenever you need it.
An air purifier of this kind won’t be able to mitigate something like a major mold infestation. But that’s where the UV air purifier comes in. Since they’re cool and damp, your air ducts make a great breeding ground for bacteria. But a UV purifier attacks microorganisms before they ever have a chance to develop into mold or mildew.
