Particles removal

First type of filter removes particles by simply trapping them in filter. Second type of electronic filter make use of electronic charges to do away with pollutants. These types of air purifiers are called as Air Ionizer. What they do is the charge particles and then collect then using oppositely charged collector plates. These type of air purifiers cannot handle large particles because large particles tend to settle more quickly.

Gases removal

Cleaning of duct and vent can purify air which is newly coming in your home but it will not clean the air which is already present in your home. Gas Filter can clean odor and harmful gases from indoor air. These types of filters can absorb only particular type of gases for which they are designed to remove that is too for temporary.

Disadvantages of air purifiers

Ozone is released by air purifiers intentionally or unintentionally as ozone helps to minimize bacteria and viruses in home. Ozone is very harmful for our cells in lungs and air passages. It shows side effects of chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath.

Performance

Most of the air purifiers are designed to reduce only particular type of pollutants. Most of the air purifiers available in market can only fight against 2-3 pollutants from air.

Maintenance

All purifiers for home rely on use of disposable, replaceable filters which adds recurring cost. You need to change or clean air filters from Air purifiers periodically and if you don’t change those filters then air purifier fails to function optimally. Some of the filters in air purifiers requires attention on every month.

Electrical Consumption

Air purifiers run on electricity hence it is and additional cost to keep indoor air clean. Also some of the air purifiers require high voltage because of their multiple functionalities.

Noise Levels

Many air purifier for home companies claim that their air purifier is less noisy as compared to other appliances in your home but it certainly adds noise to you room.

Few questions

How long should I keep my air purifier on in Home?

For best results, Perfect Pollucon Services recommends to use air purifier continuously. To maintain balance between air quality and electricity/noise Air purifiers for home comes with different cleaning speeds. E.g. when you are away from home you can set it to lowest speed and when you are using it in night use it at medium speed. It will save energy and cost while maintaining indoor air quality. You can keep air purifier on minutes before going to sleep in your bedroom as it will improve quality of your sleep.

Where should I place my air purifier?

Most of the air purifier for home are designed to clean only one room at a time. It means that it should be placed where you spends your most of the time in your home. For most of the people it is bedroom. Also Perfect Pollucon Services recommends to buy air purifier with caster wheels so that it can be easily moved from one place to other without hassle. It is recommended to keep air purifiers on ground rather than table as it may create noise because of vibration if it placed on table.

Air purifier with windows open or closed?

Air purifiers are going to be most effective when windows or doors are closed. Air purifier is already cleaning air inside your home and you are making it harder by letting in polluted air from outside. You will have to continuously run air purifier for longer hour (as long as you are in home) to clean air inside room which will be very costly.

    I agree, it is probably best to keep your air purifier in a room you frequent often. After all, it is very unlikely that the purifier will be able to clean the air in multiple rooms at once. Since this is the case then you’re going to want to make sure that the air is clean where you spend the most time. http://betlynheating.com/index.php/indoor-air-quality
