Pros and Cons Whole House Air Purifiers vs Standalone Units



By John M. BetanCourt


Making your air fit to breathe is not an easy task to accomplish, we're all concerned about poor indoor air quality inside our home and would like to have clean and pure air to breathe. You might be interested in buying an air purifier. With all the thousands of air purifiers to choose from, a preferred choice would be one that purifiers the entire house. 

It’s nice to know that there are such a thing as whole house air purifiers, you may be
curious as to whether or not one is right for you and also purchasing the right type for your home. If you own your own home, one of these type may be the perfect fit. Making a decision whether you should buy a whole home air purifier, you will want to evaluate the Pros and Cons. I'll cover a few points of both pros and cons below. 

One of the Pros is that a good air purifier can keep a whole house clean with just one system.  This is ideal for homes with pets or homes with smokers.  For example, did you know that smoke particles can stay on a person’s clothes and then transfer to another person or another room not to mention you’re breathing it into your lungs and you know that is very dangerous? Even having a separate smoking room can still be put you at risk for allergies.

Another Pro side to using whole house air purifiers it eliminates the need for multiple purifiers. To accommodate each room you need to buy multiple air purifiers, for each room. Of course, this is okay to do, a high end air purifiers can be mobile and great, buying a good quality will last longer deliver best results.  Unfortunately, high end air purifiers can be expensive. This means that it can be costly to place one in every room. Be sure that it has enough CFM's cubic feet per minute capacity to cover the room. For example: a 10 x 10 room with 8 foot ceilings would have 800 ft.³ of space so you would have to fit the right air purifier to accommodate that whole air space of air purification.

Although there are a number of Pros reasons why a whole house air purifiers might be what the doctor orders in order to keep a cleaner indoor environment. There are also a number of Cons or downsides to take into consideration. One of those is that professional installation is often required. This is an added cost that many do not think of when making their purchase. Although some individuals, especially those with construction and electrical backgrounds, may be able to install their own whole house air purifier systems, most cannot.  In addition to added cost, will be the times spend finding an affordable and qualified professional for the installation.

 
Since were on the subject of cost, the costs of buying a whole home air purifier can be expensive, but it is also important to consider warrantees factory guarantees. As I previously mentioned, some homeowners end up buying the wrong purifiers which becomes inadequate. You must weigh the cost between standalone units vs permanent units.  In fact, you may be able to save money with the purchase of a whole home air purifier, if it has government incentives or rebates attached to it.  Compared the cost and effectiveness of the unit don't get hung up on the cheapest price. Keep in mind the costs associated with the installation and check if there's any special permits required.

Limited selection is another Con or downside to buying a whole house air purifier.  Although whole home purifiers are increasing in popularity, they are still pretty limited in terms of product manufacturers and brands.  This means that you may not have as many brands to choose from, especially when compared to single room air purifiers.  With that in mind, there are a number of ways that you can go about finding whole house air purifiers available for sale.  You can shop online or at least find whole house air purifier suppliers online.  Locally, they are often found available for sale at home improvement stores.

Like with any professional service check out the references if it doesn't feel good use your instincts and keep your wallet in your pocket. It seems like during hard times there are many out there trying to relieve you of your money be wise and don't be a victim.
