Why Smart Air Purifiers are Becoming a Modern Home Essential

While we often focus on the air outside, the air inside our homes can be just as polluted, if not more so.

Dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens contribute to poor indoor air quality. And poor air quality can lead to various health problems.

Ok, this makes a good case for indoor air purifiers, but what makes smart home air purifiers a must-have?

What are Smart Home Air Purifiers?

These are essentially traditional air purifiers with added smarts.

Air purifiers work by filtering out pollutants from the air, such as dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and even viruses.

They use various filters, including HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, and ionizers, to capture these pollutants and clean the air.

Smart home air purifiers take things a step further by adding features like:

  • Remote control. You can control your air purifier from anywhere using your smartphone or voice assistant.

  • Real-time air quality monitoring. Many smart air purifiers have built-in sensors that monitor the air quality in your home and adjust their settings accordingly.

  • Scheduling. You can schedule your air purifier to turn on and off at certain times of the day.

  • Air quality alerts. You can receive alerts on your smartphone if the air quality in your home exceeds a certain threshold.

 The Benefits of Air Purifiers?

  • Improved air quality. This can lead to several health benefits, like reduced allergies, asthma symptoms, and respiratory infections.

  • Increased comfort. Clean air can help you breathe easier and sleep better.

  • Reduced energy costs. Some smart air purifiers have energy-saving features that can help you save money on your energy bills.

  • Convenience. With a smart home air purifier, you can control your air quality from anywhere

There are many different air purifier makes and models on the market, so shopping for one can feel slightly overwhelming.

The best rule of thumb is to consider the following:

  • Room size. The size of the room you want to purify will determine the size of the air purifier you need.

  • Air pollutants. If you have specific air pollutants you're concerned about, look for an air purifier designed to remove those pollutants.

  • Features. Consider what features are important to you, like a timer, scheduling, or air quality sensor.

  • Budget. Be very clear about what you are willing to spend

Tips for Using Smart Home Air Purifiers

Change the Filters Regularly

Air purifiers rely on filters to remove pollutants from the air. It is important to change these filters regularly to ensure the purifier is working effectively.

Be sure to read the instruction manual to learn how often you must change the filter.

Clean the Air Purifier Regularly

Dust and debris can build up on the air purifier's exterior, which can reduce its efficiency. Be sure to clean the air purifier regularly.

Place the Air Purifier in the Right Location

Air purifiers work best when placed in a central location in the room. Again, look at the manual to find the best place for your model.

Use the Air Purifier Regularly

Even if you don't see or smell any pollutants in the air, it's still a good idea to use your air purifier regularly to help keep your indoor air clean.
