Top 6 Benefits of Electronic Air Cleaners & UV Air Purifiers

With COVID-19 and heightened respiratory health concerns in recent years, clean, fresh, sanitized air is more important than ever. Fortunately, modern indoor air quality technology allows advanced UV air purifiers and electronic air cleaners to be directly installed into your HVAC system.

Improving indoor air quality has numerous benefits to health and overall well-being. They can:

Reduce the Spread of Viruses & Bacteria 

By killing the majority of bacteria, as well as cold, flu, and other viruses, these systems reduce your risk of illness.

While air cleaners and purifiers can’t guarantee COVID-19 prevention, many medical professionals consider them a key part of disease prevention by aiding respiratory system health.

Prevent Mold Growth

Mold is unsightly and smelly. It also irritates the lungs and causes allergic reactions, headaches, and symptoms similar to sinus infections.

The electrically charged filters in an electronic air cleaner attract and trap mold particles to prevent them from spreading throughout your home.

Limit & Improve Allergy Symptoms

Air cleaners and purifiers remove many allergens from the air, like dust and pollen.

Even during peak allergy season, you can limit common allergy symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes when you’re indoors with these systems.

Eliminate Odors

We all want our homes to smell nice and clean. Whole-home air purifiers eliminate lingering odors from food, pets, mold, and more.

Decrease Dust

Electronic air cleaners and purifiers make your home easier to clean by decreasing the amount of circulating dust.

You’ll have less dust on furniture, baseboards, and ceiling fans.

Improve the Life Span of Your HVAC System

Incorporating indoor air quality products into your air ducts reduces particle contaminants that buildup and strain your HVAC system.

By managing these contaminants, you can heat and cool your home more efficiently with less wear and tear on your heating and air conditioning units to optimize their serviceable life spans.

Electronic Air Cleaners vs. UV Air Purifiers

Without the help of an HVAC professional, it can be hard to choose between an electronic air cleaner and UV air purifier and properly install it to reap all the benefits.

Air purifiers and cleaners essentially do the same thing in different ways. When installed in an HVAC system, they clean and sanitize the air circulating through the air ducts in any home or building.

The distinction is whether they clean and sanitize via electronic filters or UV germicidal lights.

• Electronic air cleaners, also known as ionizers or electronic air purifiers, reduce airborne contaminants by trapping large particles like pet dander and dust in a prefilter and smaller particles like mold and bacteria in an electrically charged filter.
• UV air purifiers kill viruses and bacteria. The REME HALO® Whole-Home In-Duct Air Purifier combines ultraviolet light with other proprietary technologies to provide comprehensive protection, including reducing viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and odors in the air and on surfaces.
