There is no question that fresh air in your home can improve your quality of life.
To get fresh air in your home, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency states that in addition to ventilating your home with clean outdoor air and reducing the sources of pollutants air purifiers can really help in improving your air quality.
However, the number of air purifier options you have out there is dizzying.
If you are struggling to make up your mind about whole house air purifiers, then stay tuned and by the end of this video you should know whether you need one or not.
Let's start by defining what a whole house air purifier is.
A whole house air purifier is an air purifier that cleans and ensures fresh air in all the rooms of a house at the same time.
It’s unlike a portable air purifier which can only purify air effectively in one room at a time.
To purify an entire home’s air, whole house purifiers normally use an existing air duct system.
Unless you live in a small 1 to 2 bedroom apartment where you can easily run air pipes to every room, don’t waste your time with whole house air purifiers if you do not have an H.VAC, air duct or central air system of some sort running through your home.
You can install an HVAC system if you don’t have one but your money will be better spent just getting portable air purifiers for each room in your house if you don’t currently have an HVAC already.
On the other hand, if you have a central air system or HVAC then a whole house air purifier is worth considering but before rushing out to get one here are several things to consider.

Lets begin with the positives. Firstly, the single most important benefit of whole house air purifiers is that they provide clean air in your entire home with just one device.
They are the most cost-effective way to maintain adequate air quality in every single room of your house.
Depending on what technology your purifier is using, whole house air purifiers are very good at removing dust, tiny insects and insect body parts, pollen and larger particulate matter from your indoor air.
With some limitations, they can also get rid of gases and odors.
Whole house air purifiers not only provide you with clean air but also protect your HVAC and extend its life by preventing dust and pollutants from clogging up your air ducts.
They get rid of air pollutants from outdoors before they even get into your home.
Whole house air purifiers will also keep your house cleaner for longer by slowing down the build-up of dust on surfaces around your home.
Whole house air purifiers operate silently allowing you to work and sleep peacefully at night with no disruption or humming noise in the background.
For those of you who do not want random devices lying around your house, whole house air purifiers are a perfect match for you as they are out of sight and do not take up any valuable indoor space. Lastly, a whole air purifier can actually increase the value of your house.
There is also a lot of decision making involved, and risks involved in installing a whole house air purifier. It's very easy to end up with leaks in your HVAC and if you don’t like stories and complications the easy way out is to stick to portable air purifiers.
Keeping in mind the positives and negatives of whole house air purifiers we have just discussed, here are 6 key points to help you decide whether you need a whole house air purifier or not.
Point Number 1. You need a whole house air purifier if you have a large home and you want to maintain good air quality in all your rooms. It's simply the most cost-effective way to get good air quality across a large home.
2. If your home has 2 bedrooms or less you are better off with portable air purifiers.
3. You can get a whole house air purifier to run alongside portable ones if you or anyone in your home face various health risks because of bad air quality but the first choice is to use portable air purifiers.
4. If you want to have a home with air purifiers that are out of sight for any reason then whole house air purifiers are the way to go. Whole house air purifiers will also come in handy if you want absolute silence in your home while your air is being cleaned.
5. You need a whole house air purifier if you have no time or money to maintain multiple devices placed across your home.
Finally, Point Number 6. Avoid whole house air purifiers if you don’t have a central air system or HVAC. Also stay away from them if you prefer plug and play devices that do not entail a complicated installation process.
With these 6 points you should now be confident about making a decision on whether you need a whole house air purifier.
