Every HVAC system here in Fullerton, CA comes equipped with a filter, designed to strain out dust and contaminants as your heater or air conditioner runs. It works quite well, but cheap filters don’t always do the job that they should, and regardless they need to be changed periodically. An electronic air purifier, on the other hand, provides comprehensive filtration power without needing to use a screen, and if you’re looking for a way to keep your indoor air as clean ass possible. it has a lot to recommend it.
How Does It Work?
Traditional air filters are essentially screens, and that means that even the finest versions still leave a little bit of air for tiny dust particles to slip through. An air purifier, on the other hand, uses an ionization chamber, which affects every particle that enters it, no matter how small. As the particles are ionized, they stick to the walls of the chamber, or to a collection plate in some models. As your heater or air conditioner runs, the air is cycled through the chamber, and over time it will collect every bit of dust that passes through it. Best of all, it suffers very little wear and rarely needs repairs. As long as you empty out the collection plate periodically, it should be as reliable as any system in your home.
Who Benefits?
Every home can potentially benefit from an air purifier installed in their HVAC system, but in particular, homes with sensitive residents should look into the option. That includes:
- Homes that have recently brought home a baby or are expecting to in the near future.
- Homes with elderly residents.
- Homes with residents suffering from conditions such as asthma.
