Portable Allery Air Cleaner---5 Reasons It Can Help

Using an air cleaner as part of your allergy management strategy is one of the most effective and non-invasive things you can do. Here are 5 reasons why a portable cleaner is the way to go.

Immediate Benefits---Being able to position the cleaner close to you means that the air closest to you will be cleaned first. This is a more immediate result than would be possible with a cleaner attached to a central unit..

This is a huge advantage because it gives you the most control over your air quality. When you realize that your indoor air is causing symptoms, you can immediately step up the filtration speed on the cleaner and move it close to you to clear the air fast and reliably.

This kind of immediate response is not often possible with a system that is installed in connection with the central air and heating systems. A portable unit is also likely to use far less power than an in-house system.

Flexible---A portable unit with wheels can move with you anywhere in your indoor space. It will work well in almost any position including up high or down low and only needs 6 inches of clearance to allow the holes position on all sides to be able to pull in air. So even though the unit is powerful, it's small enough and manageable enough to easily fit into your space.

This means it can move from room to room in your home, go on vacation with you, or go with you to relocate to another part of the country..

Creates An Emotional Haven---Knowing that you have a cleaner that can run all the time and can filter the air at the rate that will drastically reduce airborne allergens can relieve the emotional stress that can result from having allergies. It will lower your stress level as well as those who live with you and love you.

Multiple Sized Filters---Since pollutants come in all sizes, a cleaner that has filters sized to eliminate multiple particle sizes is going to be the most effective.

Choose a purifier that has pre-filters that can eliminate the big and medium size particles that are often visible in your air. Pre-filters are relatively inexpensive and can be replaced as a way to save the more expensive HEPA for microscopic size particles.

It is important to have a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) filter to target and eliminate invisible particles such as pet dander, and airborne bacteria and viruses.

By definition this type of filter must remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are .3 microns or larger, with a micron being defined as one millionth of a meter.

DIY And Inexpensive Maintenance---Very often filtration systems that are installed as a part of the heating and air systems require technicians to do regularly maintenance, and of course you can't take the system with you if you move.

With a portable unit, you should expect to have a canister of filters that contains multiple filters that benefit you with a long filter life. This means you save money on frequent replacements, and when it is time to replace the filter you can do it yourself.

Don't commit until you read the fine print about the required maintenance. Having to go inside the unit to spray, wash, or vacuum as a regular part of maintenance is bad news.. This is way more work than you want to sign up for, and when you are doing maintenance on the inside the cleaner is not clearing the air.

Vacuuming the outside of the unit whenever you clean your home is all you should have to do. Vacuuming the outside as it continues to operate is the most you should have to do.
