Can an air purifier work for my entire home?Updated 7 months ago

There are air purifiers that can purify the air throughout your home. These are often delivered in the form of HVAC air purifiers, or air purification units that hook up directly to your heating and cooling system. This is separate from your HVAC filter, and a unit that must be purchased and professionally installed to give you whole home air purification. The benefit is whole-house air purification. The downside is that your HVAC system must have the fan running for the system to work and many of these whole home air purifiers produce ozone. Adding additional filtration to your HVAC system can cause damage to the system, decrease cooling capacity, and possibly void the warranty. Portable air purifiers can run 24/7, focus on specific areas of the home, and are generally more effective.
