Yes, air purifiers can be effective for whole-house air purification when integrated with the HVAC system. These systems are installed directly into the ductwork, allowing the purifier to filter air as it passes through the HVAC system, providing consistent purification throughout the home. By capturing airborne particles, they help improve overall indoor air quality across every room.

What to look for in a whole house air purifier
Benefits of Whole House Air Purifiers
Whole-house air purifiers are an ideal solution for anyone looking to improve the air quality throughout their entire home, not just a single room. These systems integrate directly with your HVAC system to capture airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and pet dander. The result is cleaner, fresher air in every corner of your house, promoting a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for you and your family.
HVAC Air Purifiers vs. Portable Air Purifiers
While both types of systems are designed to filter pollutants from the air, their applications are different. An HVAC air purifier, or whole-house air purifier, is installed directly into your home's heating and cooling system to filter the air throughout your entire home. A portable air purifier is a standalone unit designed to improve the air quality within a single room. For comprehensive indoor air quality, a whole-house solution like the Infinity air purifier may be the best solution as it treats all the air that circulates through your HVAC system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole House Air Purifiers
Yes, most HVAC systems allow you to add an air purifier. Air purifiers can be integrated directly into your existing ductwork, working alongside your HVAC system to filter out airborne pollutants as air circulates throughout your home. This setup ensures continuous air purification when fan mode is activated, without disrupting the normal operation of your heating and cooling system.
The cost to install a whole-house air purifier typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the type of system and the complexity of the installation. Factors such as the size of your home, the HVAC system's compatibility, and the specific air purifier model you choose can affect the final price. Higher-end models with advanced filtration capabilities or additional features may cost more, but they offer enhanced air quality and efficiency.

When positioned to represent the maximum distance above the bottom of a Carrier cooling coil, in laboratory testing, the UV lamp solution demonstrated reductions of molds penicilium citrinum and aspergillus niger on an aluminum surface in just 4 hours of 99.99% and 99.9% respectively. Similarly in the laboratory, bacteria testing was completed on staphylococcus epidermidis and escherichia coli with reductions of 99.9999% and 99.9% respectively. These tests were conducted at an independent laboratory according to ASTM E3135-18 Standard Practice for Determining Antimicrobial Efficacy of Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation Against Microorganisms on Carriers with Simulated Soil.
