Advanced Technology in Electrostatic Air Cleaners

Electrostatic air cleaners use advanced technology to help clean the air inside your home. These air purifiers can be mounted into the ductwork of your furnace or near your air conditioner. How they work is that they apply an electric charge to the dust particles in the air and then deposits them on an electrically charged plate inside the unit. You simply have to remove this plate and wash it off on a regular basis so it can effectively clean the air. When you buy a top of the line electrostatic purifier, be mindful that:

• It requires expert installation
• You may need an electrician set up the wiring
• It can add to the cost of your electricity bill

The benefits of an ion air purifier

You can have an ion air cleaner for a single room or one that cleans the air in the entire house. Although it is an electrostatic cleaner, the more advanced technology used in the newer ion air purifiers, called radiant catalytic ionization, is more effective. For example, this technology will reduce:

• Air borne micro-organisms
• Odors from cooking and smoke
• Contaminants, such as mold, mildew and bacteria

It is an air filtration system that you can put on a shelf and forget about and does not require regular maintenance. It purifies the air and leaves it smelling as fresh as the outdoors after it rains.

Portable Home Air Purifiers

You can also get air purifiers that are completely portable, saving you the expense of having them installed. There are table top models or you can have larger units that you can move from one room to another and these do a good job of cleaning the air in your home.
