Air cleaners

Three checks before you buy an air cleaner

  1. Is it allowed in California?

    Electronic air cleaners must meet the state's ozone limit. Ozone generators sold as purifiers are banned here.

  2. Can your system push air through it?

    A denser filter catches more but resists airflow. We check before recommending one.

  3. Is a room unit enough?

    For one bedroom or office, a portable unit sized to the room can do the job.

Common questions

Usually. Ductless systems cool rooms without opening walls, and some homes can take new ducts through the attic.

Which air cleaner should I buy?

It depends on the problem. Our air cleaners page walks through filters, room units and electronic cleaners, and the California rules for each.
