Where should you install air purifiers in your home?

You should install air purification systems throughout your home.

Every area of your home has different possible contaminants. Your kitchen for example has things that aren't harmful, but they're bothersome. You've got your aerosols and your odors in a bathroom for example. You've got a lot of chemical impurities in the garage. You've got basements where you have possible mold growth. So, pretty much every area of your home is a good target for placement of an air purifier. It really does depend on the types of symptoms that you have. People have different tolerances. I think one of the key concerns with air purification is carpeting. I don't think there is one single thing that is going to address every issue in a home.


If there is one contaminant that is a factor in common with most allergies and most problems, it is carpet. Vacuum cleaning will do a wonderful job of getting rid of a lot of these contaminants, but it pretty much ends there. So if you have serious problems, you really have to look at carpeting as a start to solving the problem. The real key is to get ahead of the problem. A larger unit will cleanse 1400 square feet. The questions you need to ask yourself are: how much carpet do I have? and How open is my house? Obviously, air needs to move from room to room through your house. Generally, one unit is going to do the trick. If you have a smoker in the house or have a multilevel house, then you might get two or three.
