When to Choose an Air Purifier Vs. an Air Cleaner
Air filters and air purifiers perform similar jobs, but they are not the same thing. Understanding how they work will help you choose the right one for your home’s unique needs.
Air Cleaners
Air cleaners, also known as air filters use a filtration material to pull contaminants out of the air. As the air flows through the filter, the fiber mesh captures viruses and bacteria to keep them from polluting the air inside your home. You have to replace the filter regularly, and the smaller the filtration medium, the more effective the system will be. Because air cleaners trap particles but do not kill or neutralize living organisms, some viruses, bacteria, and mold can still get through and pollute the air inside your home.
Air Purifiers
Air purifiers use ion particles or UV lights to pull contaminants out of the air or neutralize bacteria and viruses to keep them from hurting you. Air purifiers can be independent units or they can be built into your HVAC system to purify the air while the heating and cooling system runs. However, these products do little to address dust, which is why they work well when paired with air cleaners.
