Pollution can cause a great deal of health problems in the home as well as the work place. The air inside your home is typically dirtier than the air outside. Air purifiers are a great way to clean the air around you. Without an air purifier you could be breathing in bacteria, viruses, mold, and other harmful particles. There are many different types of air purifiers. Having so many types to choose from has both benefits and drawbacks, though. For help determining which purifiers are the best quality, and which would also work best for your home, call your local HVAC specialist.

Types of Air Purifiers
- Filters: These clean the air by removing particles from the air that passes through them.
- Ionizing Purifiers: These work by creating an ion field that changes the molecules that pass through it. When they are changed they become attracted to the metal plates located inside the purifier.
- Adsorbents: These work within a purifier to trap odors, fumes, and chemicals that may be in the air.
- UV Light: These are located in some purifiers, and are used to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. UV light works by bathing them in ultraviolet light as they pass through the purifier.
