Choosing a good air purifier can be a tricky business. Do you need one? If you do get one, what size should it be, what features are important, and how effective will it be at actually cleaning the air? We'll help you make the right choice for your home.
Here are some factors you need to consider when choosing a home air purifier in Singapore.
1. Check the source of pollution inside your home
It's easy to assume that pollution is an outdoor problem, but that same air containing traces of vehicle exhaust, airborne dust and pollen, smoke and other pollutants comes into our homes. Other sources of pollution are already inside the home; for example, household dust, cigarette smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from paint and the foam inside sofas and mattresses, pet hair and dander. If there are plenty inside your house, we suggest you go with three or more air purifier models to be sure.
2. The features to look for
The best air purifiers in Singapore are those with air sensors. These sensors can monitor the level of indoor air pollution and display this information to you. Some can be set to activate themselves automatically once pollution reaches a certain level. This can be handy if you'd like the purifier to maintain good air quality without the need to keep running 24/7. For example, if you live near major roads which lead to high pollution levels only at certain times of the day, or during springtime when pollen counts can vary significantly from day to day.
3. The size of your home
Most purifier models will have a recommended room size. It may be worth getting a model that's rated for a larger room than you plan to use it in. That can mean the purifier will clear the room's air faster on its highest setting, but still comfortably keep the air clear on its lowest and quietest speed (good for when you're trying to sleep).
4. You new need replacements
A reliable air purifier will have a warning indicator to let you know when it's time to clean or replace the filters. If yours do not have this, you ought to change models immediately. The instructions might simply specify to replace the filters after a certain period, such as every six months.
