Electric Air Purifiers - How Do They Work?

By: Allison Mac Home | Health-and-Fitness | Pollution


An electric air purifier is a convenient way to economically clean the air in your home. You'll want to put the electric air purifier in the area that you and your family spend the most time. Different models cover different amounts of square footage so it is important to do the research and to find the model that will work best for you.

Electric air purifiers are known to help rid the air of allergens such as dust, dust mites, pollen and animal dander. As well certain models can also help with mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, gases and smelly odors. They are an excellent investment for anyone suffering from asthma or any type of breathing problem. They have also been known to help with better sleep and a greater feeling of overall well being. They are highly economical and use less electricity than a 100-watt light bulb.

There are a few different technologies that are used in electric air purifiers:

Hepa Air Filters - successfully removes allergens from the air such as dust, dust mites, pollen, animal dander, mold, and other bacteria

Germicidal UV Lamp - used to capture viruses and germs that are not captured by the Hepa air filters as well as prevent micro-organisms trapped in the filters from breeding or reproducing.

Ionizer - causes smaller particles to magnetically attach together, therefore being easier to capture and remove from air

Activated Carbon Air Filter - traps chemicals and smoke that the Hepa filters cannot

Ozone Generator - removes odors from the air - needs to be able to be completely turned off as too much ozone can actually cause respiratory problems.


Each of these technologies can compliment the other and it is wise to look for a machine that offers as many of these technologies as possible. The more of these technologies used, the cleaner your indoor air will be.

When shopping for an electric air purifier watch for price (can vary dramatically), noise level, effectiveness, ease of use, size/style, filter replacement costs and warrantee. It shouldn't be hard to find a great machine that will cover all of your needs.
