Is a whole-house air purifier worth it?

Did you know that we spend 90% of our time indoors (1)? This means we spend most of our time exposed to indoor and outdoor pollutants that enter our living spaces.

Is investing in a whole-house air purifier truly worthwhile? With growing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality, many homeowners are considering whole-house systems to create healthier living environments. But not all purifiers are created equal.

Let’s explore whether a whole-house air purifier is a smart investment for your health and home.

The true cost of poor indoor air quality

Poor indoor air quality can have significant health and financial repercussions.

Contaminants like dust, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Chronic exposure to poor air quality can also worsen preexisting health conditions, increasing medical expenses and reducing productivity.

Over time, the health impact of poor air quality can become a financial burden.

Smart investment for health and home

Investing in a whole-house air purifier is a smart choice for both health and comfort. Cleaner air reduces health risks, lowers medical expenses, and improves well-being. With seamless smart-home integration, these systems offer convenient, modern control over your indoor environment.

Whole-house air purifier: What to look for

The perfect whole-house air purifier must offer a range of essential features to be effective, efficient, and silent. Key benefits include:

• Ultrafine particle filtration: Whole-house air purification with multiple, high-performance filters must be able to capture particles as small as 0.003 microns, including allergens, viruses, ultrafine particles, and pollutants that other systems might miss.
• Energy efficiency: When designed to be energy-efficient, the best whole-house air purifiers provide optimal performance without significantly increasing your energy bills.
• Silent operation: Ultra-quiet performance can be ensured by having no fan or motor, making sure that it won’t disrupt your daily activities or sleep.

These features collectively enhance indoor air quality, offering substantial health and comfort benefits.

Comparison with other air cleaning solutions

While portable air purifiers clean individual rooms, whole-house systems offer comprehensive coverage for every room in the home. Different rooms face unique air quality challenges—like gas and electric burner emissions in the kitchen or smoke from a fireplace— so a whole-home solution ensures every space benefits from clean air.

Whole-house purifiers integrate with your HVAC system, working efficiently behind the scenes to deliver continuous clean air without noise or additional maintenance.

Athletes attest to “game changer” air quality

Lisa Bentley, a triathlete with cystic fibrosis, described how an effective room air purifier transformed her home environment. “We noticed the difference right away. It was unbelievable.”

Describing the system as “game changer,” she and her family upgraded to a whole-house system.

Olympic cyclist Dave Zabriskie followed a similar path to breathing medical-grade indoor air. After enjoying the benefits of room air purification, he then installed a whole-home air purifier.

Explaining his decision, Dave said, “being outside, there’s not much I can do to control the environment, but you can have some control over the indoor air quality.”
