How Does an Air Purifier Work?

 

Air purifiers are important pieces of equipment in the lives of people who are concerned with improving the air quality of their home. This is especially true of those who suffer from allergies and asthma because air purifiers work to keep the air clean and free of particles that can trigger allergy and asthma problems.

In this article we’ll go over exactly how air purifiers work and how they help you home and family in various ways. This will help you to make an informed decision when it comes to choosing the best air purifier for you home.

Kinds of Air Purifiers

There are different types of air purifiers and they all work differently. The most common are air filters which typically work with the heating or cooling system. The concept is simple, the air passes through the filter and harmful particles are removed.

There are more effective air purifiers though such as ionizing purifiers. Ionizing purifiers work by creating a small yet intense magnetic field that ionizes the harmful particles in the air and is attracted to the metal plates inside the machine. There are also ozone generators which work by altering oxygen molecules which helps to purify the air.

How Air Purifiers Help Homes

The air quality in homes can be worse than the air is outside in many cases. This can be due to a variety of reasons including the build up of harmful particles in your carpet and furniture as well as harmful particles that can be emitted from various chemicals kept in the home.

Air purifiers work to isolate and keep these harmful particles out of the air and therefore out of your lungs. As previously mentioned, those who suffer from allergies and asthma can be particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of these particles and must rely upon air purifiers to breathe more easily and avoid serious health risks.

Installing an Air Purifier

When it comes to installing an air purifier for your home it can be best to contact a professional heating/cooling company to help you. The reason for this is that they are qualified to advise you on which specific model you need for your home and then get it installed and running for you.

Trying to do this yourself can lead to purchasing of an air purifier that isn’t right for your home or accidental damage to your purifier and/or heating/cooling system.
