An energy efficient home today provides significant savings for millions of families. It also helps the environment by reducing the amount of green houses gases produced. They can however, also have an unintended negative effect in that they also have a tendency to seal in dust, dirt, pollen, and perhaps worst of all various molds. With so many people suffering from allergies and asthma, this is serious issue of concern. As a result, many people are turning to a variety of air filters including electronic air purifiers. A variety of models are now available through different manufacturers. A brief review of certain options including HEPA and Ionic models are found below.

Ionic Pro Air Purifiers

Ionic purifiers lock in irritants and allergens by using three collection blades. Purified air back is then released back into the room. An Ionic Pro cleaner circulates air without the use of deafening fans which also translates into the elimination of costly replacement filters. These models are particularly easy to upkeep because they only require the removal of the steel blade assembly. This allows the maintenance to be reduced down to a quick wipe. These air cleaners can impressively trap particles as small as 1 micron.

Blue Air Purifiers

These models are designed with energy efficiency and environmental concerns in mind. Any one suffering from allergies should be particularly concerned about the quality of the air they breathe. Pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, or dust are no match for these indoor purifiers.

Bionaire Purifier

Bionaire purifiers are known for being up to 30 % quieter than comparable models. They feature both modular HEPA and carbon filters types and include electronic Filter monitors.  Depending on the model, they can service up to over 400 square feet.

Whole House Air Purifier

There are many types of air cleaners on the market today. Many are room specific while others focus on entire homes. Those serving as whole house air purifiers require heating and cooling contractors to install them. The larger systems are especially adept at cleaning air by removing dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, bacteria and viruses, smoke from your air. This is particularly important for someone with allergies and asthma.

Honeywell Air Purifiers

Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaners are advanced whole-house purifiers. The systems are so sophisticated that they can trap 98% of pollutants that flow through your home’s heating and cooling system.  The cleaner works by attaching an electric charge to airborne particles, and then collecting the charged matter just like a magnet.
