Tips on Choosing a Commercial-Grade Air Purifier

Indoor air quality is crucial in any residential or commercial setting. Allergies and respiratory diseases are due to airborne microorganisms, particulates and other contaminants that we can’t see. The risk for indoor air pollution is even higher in offices, factories and warehouses, making commercial-grade air purifiers essential for any business.

In this post, professional HVAC repair specialist Cafco Services discusses some of the top considerations when choosing a commercial-grade air purifier.

Air Cleaning Technology

There are different types of air purifiers utilizing various technologies to clean indoor air. Air purifiers typically use one of these technologies or a combination of these air cleaning methods:

• HEPA filters are usually the most recommended because of their effectiveness at filtering the air. They contain a sticky membrane that traps pollen, dust, dander and other particulates. HEPA filters are also affordable, and replacements are easy to find.

• TSS, or thermodynamic sterilizing systems, use hot air to destroy microorganisms in the air. It does not cause the surrounding air or the unit to heat up.

• Carbon filters are designed to attract chemicals, gases and VOCs. They require regular replacement, like HEPA filters.

• Ions are typically found in modern air purifiers. The technology releases positively and negatively charged ions which kill microorganisms in the air.

Space Coverage

Air purifiers can cover different sized areas. Measure the space where you need air purification so that you’ll be able to determine the capacity that your air purifier should have. Commercial air purifiers with a wider coverage area are more expensive and noisier. Remember that airflow settings can impact an air purifier’s coverage area and efficiency, so make sure to inquire about these too.
