This is the type of question that you\u2019ll be asking if you\u2019re considering improving the air quality in your house. We think this is an excellent idea: almost any home can benefit from indoor air quality installations to remove airborne pollutants.<\/p>\n

But the question of \u201celectronic air cleaners\/purifiers vs. air filters\u201d is actually a deceptive one. This isn\u2019t a situation where it\u2019s either one or the other. You can have both<\/em>. And in many cases, both is the best choice! We\u2019ll explain below.<\/p>\n

Air filtration systems<\/h3>\n

Air filters<\/a> work through a simple method: they use a mesh of fibers (usually made of fiberglass) to trap contaminants flowing through the air. Air filters don\u2019t require any power to work, they passively stop pollutants. The more tightly woven the mesh, the smaller size particles a filter will stop. Most homes can benefit from a filtration system.<\/p>\n

The difficulty comes when there are minute pollutants in the air, such as microbes and volatile organic compounds, that slip through filters. Putting in more powerful filters will often make things worse, because a thick filter also stops air movement through the ductwork\u2014and that means a strained heating or air conditioning system, poor comfort, and big bills. This is where electronic air cleaners and air purifiers come in handy.<\/p>\n

Air Cleaners and Air Purifiers<\/h3>\n

Adding an electronic air purification system<\/a> is a great way to stop the harmful pollutants that can get through a filter. There are different types of cleaners and purifiers, such as purification systems that use ionization and others that use ultraviolet radiation. The type your home needs is something that experts will help you discover. If you have the right pair of filtration and purification systems in place, you can eliminate more than 99% of the unwanted contaminants in your house.<\/p>\n
