If you’re ready to breathe freely in your Charlotte home, call the experts at Comfort First to request an air filtration system installation.
How Do Air Purifiers Work?
Whole-home air purifiers are significantly more effective than standard 1-inch filters. Some systems use HEPA filters that extract 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, superior to even the highest MERV-rated filters. They achieve this through a unique pleated filter design.
Other air purification solutions use ionization to attract smaller particles, UV light to break down contaminants or render them inert and harmless, or some combination of solutions to ensure the cleanest air possible.
Portable vs. Whole-Home Air Purifiers
Portable air purifiers are common in some homes, and while they’re better than nothing, they fall short of the potential efficacy and efficiency of a whole-home system.
While portable air purifiers can clean the air in a single room, you’d need to purchase and maintain multiple portable units for them to be effective.
If you want to keep your home clean, healthy, and contaminant-free, then a whole-home air purifier is always a better investment.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes indoor air problems?
Indoor air quality issues can stem from countless sources, including household cleaning products, poor ventilation, excess moisture, volatile organic compounds, and more.
What contaminants do air purifiers remove?
Air purifiers primarily target contaminants too small to reliably filter with traditional pre-filters, and thus, they need more advanced solutions to remove them from the air or neutralize them as a threat.
A HEPA air purifier filters out pet dander, pollen, dust, dirt, mold, and more. It can also help reduce bad and lingering odors in your home.
What is a MERV rating?
MERV stands for minimum efficiency reporting value. MERV ratings are 1 through 16, with higher ratings indicating greater effectiveness.
For example, a MERV 10 filter will remove at least 50% of particles between 1 and 3 microns and at least 80% of particles between 3 and 10 microns. In comparison, a MERV 11 filter will handle 65% and 85% while guaranteeing at least 20% of particles between 0.3 and 1 micron.
