I get asked all 👏 the 👏 time what air filter I recommend.
For a long time I didn’t have a clear answer, just some guidelines, but now I have both!
The guidelines:
-
Choose an air filter that has an actual filter (not "filterless"). You need to capture particulates.
-
Choose an air filter that filters down to the tiniest particle size. These can capture mycotoxins.
-
Choose a unit that have the capacity to filter the square footage of the room.
-
Start with bedrooms as the number one priority.
-
Also consider your office, living room and near the kitchen (lots of particles.)
-
Change the filter according to the recommended schedule.
-
Monitor and manage humidity in your home. Have a humidity reader and a dehumidifier as needed in key places. Keep humidity levels below 50%.
-
DO NOT take an air filter from a moldy home to your new, safe home.
My favorite:
I have a weird thing where I cannot stand noise, so I did not enjoy air filters. But AirDoctor is:
-
Whisper quiet
-
Kicks into high gear if it senses higher particulate
-
Filters down to even mycotoxin size
-
Affordable price point
-
Pretty
Hope this helps!
