Which is Better: Air Cleaners or Air Purifiers?
Thanks to the pandemic, indoor air quality has become an especially hot topic as Colorado families search for ways to protect themselves from harmful airborne substances. However, even before the pandemic, more than 50 million Americans suffered from allergies that could benefit from air filtration.When it comes to air cleaners and air purifiers, it’s not uncommon for people in the Denver Metro Area to buy one when what they actually want or need is the other.

Do I need an air cleaner or an air purifier?

While both air cleaners and air purifiers remove impurities from the air, the level of removal is different. Air cleaners filter the air to remove primarily smoke, smells, and larger particles. Air purifiers sanitize the air by removing smoke, smells, and fine particles like viruses, pet dander, pollen, dust, dust mites, and biological contaminants.

Several factors determine whether an air cleaner or air purifier is best for your Colorado home.

    Requiring a fan can be noisy and expensive due to filters that must be replaced.
  • Room Size
    Whole-house solutions that can be installed directly into the HVAC system.
  • Pollutants Addressed
    Remove smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold spores, and similar gases.
  • Treatment Technology
    Require HEPA filters for small particles, active carbon filters to capture smoke and VOCs, and UV sanitizers to filter out spores.
