How to Figure Out the Correct Size System for Your Home Air Purifier

Perhaps the easiest part of buying a home air purification unit is figuring out the size of a unit that is needed for your home. All you really need to do it look at the square footage of your home. Naturally though, determining the square footage is not an exact science. There are many factors that will effect the amount of square footage your air purifier will effectively purify.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers came up with a system to better help us get an effective air purification unit. They developed the Clean Air Delivery Rate or CADR. This system was designed to help give a standard for square footage. There is the Surround Air ratings as well, and these help take into consideration the factors that effect square footage.

We have to look at fan power of the unit, ratings of comparable models and the technology that the air purification unit uses. For example, if the air purification unit that utilizes a HEPA filter is only good for a room that is about 500 square feet, or the size of a standard bedroom.

The NANO O2 utilizes photo-catalytic oxidation technology. This allows that NANO O2 to clean and sterilize spaces up to 4000 square feet. There are also units available for spaces as small as the 500 square feet.

The final thing that you need to look at is your home. We have looked at the unit and the square footage to determine the size of the unit. We also need to look at our air in our homes. The floor plan of your home plays a role in the efficiency of the air purification unit. The more open the floor plan the greater the effectiveness. The current pollution level in your home, place the unit in the most polluted area. The air flow of the house is important as well. The greater the air flow in the area the greater effectiveness.

So whether you want individual units in each room or if you want a unit that can take care of your entire house, you still need to consider the size of the area. The size is effected by current pollution level and openness of the room. The goal is to get the most efficient and effective air purification unit.
