Why Choose an In-Duct Air Purifier Over a Portable Unit

Indoor air quality has become a concern for many homeowners in the last few years. You probably purchased a portable air purifier to clean the air inside your home. If you want better indoor air quality, we suggest having an in-duct air purifier installed because it provides better air purification than portable units.

What Are In-Duct Air Purifiers?

An in-duct or whole-home air purifier system is a comprehensive system that cleans indoor air. A contractor typically installs it before or after the air handler of your central HVAC unit. Once activated, it can kill up to 99% of germs, viruses, and bacteria. They won’t occupy any floor space, unlike portable air purifiers.

Why Choose In-Duct Air Purifiers?

  • Odor Removal

Aside from killing 99% of airborne organisms, in-duct air purifiers are efficient odor removers. They can remove 99.9% of unpleasant odors throughout the entire property, ensuring your rooms smell fresh and clean in any season.

  • UV-C Light

In-duct air purifiers have UV-C light sources that remove harmful contaminants in the air. UV-C light is instrumental in destroying germs and bacteria on surfaces and in the air. Trust renowned duct installation companies, such as Superior Air, for proper UV-C light installation for your whole-home air purification system.

  • Extended HVAC Lifespan

Clean air passing through the ducts prevents dirt clogs from occurring. This lessens the strain on your HVAC and the likelihood of breakdowns. That said, a clean duct with purified air extends your HVAC’s lifespan.
