Whole Room Air Purifiers

A whole room air purifier has many benefits, and its portability makes it ideal for both renters and homeowners. Depending on the version, controlling the device manually and/or via an app may be possible. The  Choate's Air Conditioning, Heating, & Plumbing team can help you choose a whole room air purifier, or if you desire an upgrade, a whole home air purifier for your residence near Memphis, Tennessee.

Who Needs an Air Purifier?

Considering an air purifier helps create healthier air, everyone can benefit from having one in their home. However, using one is especially ideal for those with certain health conditions, especially respiratory issues. For example, individuals with asthma or severe seasonal allergies may feel their symptoms lessen, making it more comfortable to breathe, function and have a better quality of life overall. The whole room air purifier is great to use year-round, but it may be especially useful during triggering seasons, such as in spring when there's typically no shortage of pollen flying through the air.

Using a whole room air purifier isn't just about daily functions, sleep, and quality. How you breathe affects how you sleep, and when you're not sleeping through the night or the quality of sleep is not up to par, that can significantly impact your daily abilities. Your mood, reaction times, focus and a variety of other essential aspects are affected by sleep. A whole room air purifier can influence and change the indoor air quality in that room and impact how rested you feel during the day. 

What Does a Whole Room Air Purifier Do?

Different whole room air purifiers can have a range of varying features, but overall, they’re designed to pull air in, filter it and release purified air back into a room. Depending on the purifier's respective features, it may be able to filter visible pollutants, such as pet dander and even insect bits, or the things you can’t see, such as mold spores and odors.

One of the biggest benefits of a whole room air purifier is that it's portable, allowing you to move it from one room to the next. For instance, it can go in the kitchen while you're cooking, in the living room while you're watching television and in the bedroom while you're sleeping. It's also great for locations with a significant amount of outdoor pollution and during seasons when opening the windows for extended periods isn't ideal.

This can be especially beneficial for a renter who cannot have a whole home air purifier system installed. It provides an option for improving indoor air quality in each room without worrying about needing to install anything.

Types of Air Purifiers

There are several different types of air purifiers, and all have various functions that you may find beneficial. Some of the various air purifier options include ionic air purifiers, HEPA air purifiers, activated carbon air purifiers and ultraviolet air purifiers. 

Mechanical Filters

Mechanical filters are composed of mesh and typically have designated spaces within whole room air purifiers where they sit and stay in place as they trap large particles that come in from the air. They usually need replacing every few months, although the frequency depends on the respective instructions and the number of particles that typically flow through the air within each room. You need to use specific mechanical filters for each device to properly work. Which ones you need to use will be detailed in the manuals of each whole room air purifier.

HEPA filters are the highest quality mechanical filters and can capture almost 100% of contaminants. 

Activated Carbon Filters

Activated carbon filters in whole room air purifiers use charcoal to remove various odors and gasses from within a space. For example, they can help remove everything from cooking smells of potent foods to volatile organic compounds from paint. 

They differ from mechanical filters in that their job is to remove gasses and odors, while mechanical filters remove particles.
