How To Choose The Right Air Purifier For Your Home
When you' re shopping for an air purifier, it' s important to find one that' s the right size for your needs. An air purifier that' s too small won' t be as effective, and one that' s too large will be a waste of energy. The size of an air purifier is measured in square feet, and you' ll find this number in the product description.
To calculate the square footage of the room you want to purify, just measure the length and width of the room and multiply them together. For example, if your room is 10 feet long and 10 feet wide, the square footage is 100.
Once you know the square footage of the room, you can choose an air purifier with the right CADR rating. CADR is a rating system that tells you how well an air purifier can clean the air in a room of a certain size. The higher the CADR rating, the more effective the air purifier will be.
When you' re looking at CADR ratings, be sure to look at ratings for the types of airborne contaminants that are most important to you. The three main types of air contaminants are smoke, dust, and pollen.
If you' re particularly concerned about removing smoke from the air, look for an air purifier with a high CADR rating for smoke. If you want to remove dust from the air, look for an air purifier with a high CADR rating for dust. And if you' re looking to remove pollen from the air, look for an air purifier with a high CADR rating for pollen.
