Your indoor air quality really suffers in winter. With your windows and doors sealed, the same air circulates through your home over and over, fostering mold, viruses, and other contaminants. To keep your air clean, you need an air purifier. Here are some of the best winter air purification options available.
- Blue Pure 211+. Great for the living room, this air purifier removes 99% of contaminants over a 540-square-foot area, including mold, pet dander, and smoke. A carbon filter also removes odors, along with harmful VOCs. The unit runs quietly and is energy efficient, making it a great option for improving your IAQ.
- Honeywell HPA300 HEPA Air Purifier. The HEPA filter makes this a great option for allergy sufferers when it comes to winter air purification. It eliminates 99.97% of contaminants, down to 0.3 microns. That includes pollen, viruses, bacteria, dust mites, and more. It also circulates all the air through a room nearly five times every hour, to make sure it stays breathable.
- Aprilaire 2410 Whole Home Air Cleaner. This winter air purification system is mounted directly onto your furnace. While less efficient than a HEPA filter, it’s significantly more efficient than your regular furnace filter, eliminating 97% of dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. The Aprilaire filter also lasts longer—up to two years.
- Alen BreatheSmart 75i. One of the pricier models on this list, it’s also the most efficient. Using a medical-grade HEPA filter, it can cover an area of up to 1,300 square feet, eliminating 99.99% of airborne contaminants, down to 0.1 microns. That includes cigarette smoke, milled flour, carbon dust, aerosols, and more. Smart sensors also monitor your air quality and display a color-coded rating on the unit to let you know how clean your air is.
- Dyson Pure Hot + Cool. In addition to a HEPA air purifier, this model has a built-in heater and fan. The model’s backward-airflow mode allows it to circulate the air gently and unobtrusively.
