Benefits of an Air Purifier
Reduce Allergies
Do you suffer from allergies? The most common airborne allergens that might be present in your home include pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. An Air Purifier with a True HEPA Filter works to reduce these airborne particles in your space that cause allergies.
Reduce Toxins
If you use chemical-based cleaning and personal care products, then they can create indoor toxins in your environment. These indoor toxins can be harmful to your body, and air purifiers work to trap these toxins for healthier indoor air quality.
Eliminate Unwanted Odors
Air Purifiers with activated carbon filters can also help eliminate pesky odors from your pets, smoking, and even cooking. Say hello to fresh breathable air!
Circulate Clean Air
Air Purifiers sanitize and purify the air in your space for better indoor air quality. Air Purifiers can clean the air in your space by using a UV LED Germicidal Light, Activated Carbon Filter, and a HEPA Filter. We explain more about these features below in the top 3 things to look out for when buying a humidifier!
Protect Against Viruses
Air Purifiers that include UV Germicidal Lights can also kill viruses, bacteria, and germs to keep you healthy!
Capture Air Pollutants
Similar to allergens, air pollutants such as mold and mildew can be harmful to you. If you suffer from asthma or from any lung conditions, it can be even worse. Mold can grow in moist or humid environments and conditions in spaces such as bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and basements. An Air Purifier with a HEPA Filter can capture these air pollutants for healthier air.
What to Consider When Buying an Air Purifier?
Remember that Air Purifiers need filters that have to be changed or replaced often in order to continuously provide healthy air quality and effectively capture air contaminants and pollutants. Here are 3 features to consider when buying an air purifier for your home!
HEPA Filter
HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. A HEPA filter is a type of mechanical air filter; it works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, bacteria, mold, and dust mites. The Perfect Aire True HEPA Filter has the ability to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns!
Charcoal or Activated Carbon Filter
Carbon Filters remove gases from the air such as tobacco smoke, pet, cooking, and any household odors. Carbon filters do not remove airborne particles like a HEPA Filter and are designed to combat organic compounds that are released from household products that can cause odors.
UV Germicidal Light
A Germicidal UV light is commonly used as a disinfection method, and for air purifiers, a UV Germicidal Light helps kill viruses, bacteria, and germs while emitting zero light pollution for comfortable and safe air quality.
The Perfect Aire Air Purifier includes a 3-stage purification process that includes all of these features to improve the indoor air quality of your space.
