Whole-Home Air Purifiers & Their Benefits

Air purifiers are highly effective at preventing air pollutants and contaminants from circulating in your home. If you’re planning to install one this year, your choices are most likely an in-duct/whole-home system or a portable unit. Since a portable unit doesn’t need installation, at first it may seem like a good choice. But compared to an in-duct/whole-home system, the indoor air quality with a portable unit won’t be as good. If you’re hoping for better air quality throughout your home, most HVAC companies recommend installing a full air purification system instead. 

The Biggest Differences

Portable air purifiers are relatively easy to use and are designed to filter the air in one room of your home. They’re more affordable than in-duct/whole-home systems, but keep in mind that you might have to buy several units if you want to filter your entire house. If you’re only planning on getting a single unit, you’ll have to physically move it around your house. This can become tedious, especially if it’s too heavy! 

HVAC filter products such as whole-home air purification systems can be installed directly in the air duct path of your ventilation system or your HVAC unit. The process must be done professionally since they’ll be installed either before or after the air handler. While they may be a bit more expensive than portable unit, they offer much better long-term benefits for your home.
