We have received many inquiries regarding air purifiers and their benefits. So, we thought we’d give you an overview and our recommendations.
Air Purifiers Services
An air purifier (also known as air cleaner) is a device that removes dirt and dust from the air surrounding you to improve air quality. These devices are for individuals who want cleaner air in their homes but can be of significant benefit to people who are suffering from allergies or are asthmatics. They are also effective for eliminating or reducing second-hand tobacco smoke.
Air purifiers are available as standalone units, suitable for individual rooms and available at many big-box retailers. However, our discussion will focus on the whole-home units that are permanently affixed your forced air furnace or HVAC unit.
There are two air purifying technologies available today, active and passive. Active air purification units release negatively charged ions into the air, causing all the pollutants to stick to surfaces. While passive air purifiers use air filters to remove all the contaminants from the air. Passive purification units are more efficient since all the dust, and particulate matter is permanently removed from the air and is collected in the filters.

Care and Cleaning of Air Purifiers Services
Depending on the air purifier you decide on, filter, or electronic, they require very little maintenance. The Bryant, for instance (filter), requires a simple filter change regularly, whereas electronic versions need regular cleaning.
Basic Tips for Cleaning Air Purifiers Service:
- Before performing any maintenance/cleaning on your air purifier, make sure the furnace is turned off.
- On filter models such as the Bryant, replace the filter cartridge regularly.
- Some electronic air purifiers have prefilters that can clog faster due to the large dust, hair, and skin particles. Therefore, we recommended that you should check/clean at least once a month to ensure continuous airflow.
- Also, be sure to dry the prefilter before reinstalling it in the unit.
- Do not scrape the unit or air filter with pointed or sharp objects. A damaged air filter makes the device ineffective and requires the purchase of new air filters.
- When you clean the air filters and replace them regularly, the pressure on the air purifier fan is reduced, which guarantees the long-term performance of the unit. Therefore, we recommend that you only purchase the original air filter replacements to purify the air.
