Why Would a Whole House Air Purifier be Advantageous?



When you choose an air purifier, you should know why you are looking for one. Make a list of your needs so you would be able to seek the exact match to your requirements. If possible, do your preliminary research on the Internet, so you have a basic idea of what to look for and what the basics are that go into the machine for your home.

You will also learn from your research about the cost, specifications and warranty given for each of the models that you would prefer.

What are the Advantages of Having a Whole House Air Purifier?

The greatest advantage of having a whole house air purifier is that you will have it out of your sight. There are a lot of tiny particles in the air that pollute it and cause a lot of health problems for those who inhale it. These can be particularly awful for those who are suffering from asthma or other similar serious respiratory problems.

Some people prefer to have room air purifiers. However, individual installations often become too complicated. In this case the whole house air purifier can solve the problem easily with the same efficiency in the results. The whole house air purifiers work more or less like central air conditioners. These machines are much larger than room air purifiers and use powerful ionization systems (aided by oxidation systems) to purify the air.

They can be installed right on the ductwork which is connected to the furnace or even the centralized air conditioner. This would then work in unison and provide pure air to the whole house.

Some people feel that the installation of the whole house air purifier is too expensive. However, if you look into the overall cost that the installation of individual air purifiers would entail, you will realize that the fitting of a whole house air purifier is not that costly. Moreover, this is an investment which occurs once every 10-15 years recurring cost, since these sturdy machines last long even if you do not care for them. With care and proper servicing, they would last close to 20 years.

Once the whole house air purifier is fitted, you would not need to ever worry about the air of your house. You might, and rightly so, keep an eye on the filters which can be cleaned and changed from time to time. Other than that, these machines would not need too much attention.
