Our latest blog covers the 6 most important things you should consider before buying an air purifier.
Not all air purifiers are created equal.
When selecting an air purification solution for your business, there’s a lot to consider: the size and nature of your business, the traffic in your space, and the number of colleagues – to name just a few.
Don’t suffer from information overload when it comes to choosing the right solution for your business. Here are the 6 most critical features of an air purification solution you should consider to help you – and the people in your spaces – breathe easier.
Top 6 qualities you want in an air purifier:
According to the EPA, the average person spends 90% of their time indoors, which makes clean air crucial to the safety, health, and wellness of your employees, customers, and visitors.
To provide the reassurance that people need to feel safe indoors, air must be continually treated to remove pollutants, pathogens and other contaminants.
Portable, free-standing air purifiers provide a flexible, cost effective way to help protect the health of people in your spaces. Here are 6 key features that deserve your attention when selecting a purifier that’s right for your business.
1. Medical-grade filtration and sanitation technology
Consider devices that offer real-time protection from airborne pathogens and contaminants, such as those that use high-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) or UV-C technology to deactivate pathogens.
Sanitation technology should deactivate or remove:
- Dust
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Allergens
- Bacteria, viruses, and other germs
- Fungi and mould
2. Expertly serviced solutions
Air purifiers serviced by trained experts – including proper filter cleaning, replacement, and disposal – will ensure that harmful pathogens aren’t spread through your environment.
Poor filter maintenance can cause:
- Skin and throat irritation
- Dry eyes and fatigue
- Headaches and even Legionnaires’ disease
3. High-performance clean air delivery rate (CADR)
The CADR is a performance metric measuring how fast a machine cleans the air of a particular size of room. The efficiency of a unit will depend on both the size of the room and the placement of the unit.
4. Indoor air quality (IAQ) displays
IAQ monitors with clear, real time displays show staff and customers that the business considers their safety and wellbeing a priority, by continuously monitoring the indoor air.
5. Cost effectiveness:
A serviced air purifier rental contract can cost as little as a cappuccino per day. Renting an air filtration system makes financial sense, and offers added benefits at a fraction of the cost of purchasing. Get peace of mind with ongoing maintenance, cleaning, filter replacement, and disinfection.
6. Sound and decibels
To avoid noise disruptions, it’s important to identify air purification units that produce fewer than 49 decibels. To give you a benchmark for comparison, a household refrigerator registers at 55 decibels.
