Benefits of Installing an Air Cleaner in Your Home
Installing an air cleaner in your home can provide benefits for your entire household. Some advantages you may notice can include:
- Reduced allergens in your home. This can result in fewer allergy symptoms for your household.
- Improved overall air quality, which will help those with asthma.
- Lower humidity levels in the house.
- Overall cleaner smell in your home as these systems can remove unwanted odors.
- Reduced levels of cigarette smoke if someone in the household smokes.
- Less airborne bacteria and germs that can cause colds and flu.
Different Types of Filters Used in Air Cleaners
Air cleaners can use a variety of filters. To determine which type of filter is right for you, take a look at some of these options:
- Ionic: This type generates negative ions that capture positive ions – including dust and allergen particles. These can be one of the most cost-effective filters. These are also recommended if you have cigarette smokers in the household.
- HEPA: This was originally developed to remove radioactive dust particles from the air. It’s now used to reduce contaminants from the air in your home, such as mold, dust-mite debris, pet dander, bacteria, and pollen.
- Ultraviolet: This type destroys microorganisms. Therefore, it is best at preventing illness and disease.
- Carbon: This is the most absorbent filter. It reduces odors and fumes without releasing any of the contaminants back into the air.

- Change HEPA-style filters at least every 3-6 months.
- Have your system inspected by a professional at least once a year to look for issues and perform a tune-up.
