Use this search feature to quickly find the information you're looking for.

Air purifier ideas for the home and office are fairly simple to find, and the benefits of having one are significant. They are something you certainly won't regret getting for a minute. In today's environment the air we breathe may not be the cleanest. It can be full of man made pollution like exhaust fumes or natural pollutants like pollen and airborne dust particles, both of which can irritate the lungs and cause allergy like responses or respiratory problems. It is natural to want to stop these getting into our system.

Air purifiers are definitely an excellent place to start, and come in many shapes and sizes to suit every budget and size of space needing clean air. To get a better understanding of which air purifier ideas are best for you needs, let's look at some of the choices available to you.

Basically the unit takes in air from the room, and passes it through the filter it uses, which removes any impurities, before pumping the cleaner air back into the room. If windows and doors are kept shut and no new pollutants are introduced then it becomes highly effective, especially for cleaning the air in a child's bedroom if they suffer from asthma or allergies before they have to go in to sleep for the night.

The technologies available are vast, so starting with a term that most people have heard of is 'HEPA' filters. These are one of the most widely available and are very effective, whereas 'Activated Carbon' filters are targeted at removing chemical pollution. It can therefore depend a lot on which pollution you feel is the biggest problem to you home or work space.

There have been a lot of issues surrounding 'Ionic' technology but this has been proven to be less effective than some of the others, with the two main 'Ionic' technologies being 'Negative Ion' and 'Ionic Breeze'. With the research available, looking for a 'HEPA' filter would be one of the best air purifier ideas, as these seem to be a good choice in generally removing the worst of every type of pollutant from the air.

As a rule devices run off the mains electricity in the house or office, so you may need to get the device safety checked by your electrician to make sure it complies with any safety laws. From a maintenance point of view you will need to keep the air purifier clean, which means when unplugged from the power source wiping the grill clean with a damp chemical detergent free cloth, and leaving it to dry before switching it back on. Periodically, you will need to change the filters.

Most units will have easy clip on clip off filter trays, so you won't need tools or specialist skills. You simply unclip the filter holder, remove and dispose of the old filter, and insert a new filter. This does mean that you need to keep a supply of filters which is an extra cost, so you may want to see if you can purchase a unit that needs filters changed less. Currently there are units that have a 6 month filter life right up to those that have a 5 year filter life, so it is definitely a point worth considering.
