Top 6 Things To Look For When Choosing An Air Purifier

There are six things you should always look for when choosing an air purifier 1.) It should use technology recommended by the CDC and EPA – especially if you’re a school or business using government funding to purchase the purifiers! Like the true medical grade HEPA and activated carbon used by Austin Air! 2.) The filters should last longer than a few months. Some air cleaners might seem like they’re relatively inexpensive, BUT they need the filter replaced every 3 or 6 months. So that can get really expensive – especially if you’re deploying numerous purifiers throughout a school or office building. 3.) The purifier should not off-gas. What is off-gassing? Off-gassing is when a product releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other harmful chemicals into the air. It’s basically that new car or new furniture smell. Austin Air purifiers are constructed from solid steel – not plastic – and they are powder coated, not painted – to ensure no off-gassing. 4.) The company should be able to back up any claims with real data. Austin Air outperformed more than 100 other air cleaners in government tests AND we are the only air cleaner company to partner with research organizations to conduct clinical trials on its products. We’ve worked with Johns Hopkins University, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, the University of Washington, and others. 5.) It should be engineered to create a circular airflow. The Austin Air purifiers pull air into all 4 sides through a 360-degree intake system… then they push the air out of one exit vent to create a circular airflow throughout the room (so that all of the air in the room is being moved through the purifier and cleaned.) 6.) A good air purifier shouldn’t need so many bells and whistles You shouldn’t need a timer to turn the purifier on and off… because you should run your air purifier all the time. And if your air purifier has a sensor to tell you when it’s time to replace the filter, then that means it’s probably going to need to be replaced way too often. The Austin Air purifiers have one, simple three-speed switch. You literally turn it on, and it keeps running and cleaning the air for years. For more information, visit: https://austinair.com/
