Why Install an Air Purifier at Home?

Breathing clean air at home is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. In 2025, as indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor air, more and more households are choosing to install air purifiers to improve comfort and protect their health. But what are the real benefits of these devices, and how do you choose the right model? 

Breathe Better to Live Better 

The air we breathe indoors contains a multitude of invisible pollutants: dust, allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pollen, smoke, viruses, bacteria, and fine particles. These elements can trigger or worsen health issues such as asthma, allergies, eye irritation, and sleep disorders. 

There are several options available to filter these pollutants according to your needs, ranging from simple filters to air purification systems.  A filter is very effective for particles. However, to filter microorganisms (such as mold, bacteria, or fungi) and Volatile Organic Compounds (chemical emissions), you will need to install an air purifier. 

Today’s air purifiers use sophisticated filtration technologies to effectively capture polluting particles in the ambient air.  

5 Good Reasons to Install an Air Purifier at Home 

Here are the main benefits of having an air purifier at home: 

1. Reduction of allergens: pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. HEPA filters significantly reduce their concentration in the air. 

1. Improved quality of life: cleaner air promotes better breathing, reduces allergy symptoms, and improves sleep. 

1. Odour neutralization: activated carbon filters absorb cooking, tobacco, and pet odours. 

1. Prevention of respiratory illnesses: by removing airborne viruses and bacteria, some models help limit the spread of infections. 

1. Enhanced comfort: newer models are quiet, connected, and sometimes multifunctional (heating, ventilation, humidification). 

Understanding the Options on the Air Purifier Market 

Today’s market offers a wide range of purifiers to suit all needs and budgets. Here are the effective air purifiers selected by Confort Expert: 

HEPA Filter Purifiers 

The most common and effective against fine particles, allergens, and biological pollutants. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, for example, capture up to 99.97% of particles measuring 0.3 microns and are used in hospitals, among other places. When combined with activated carbon filters, they also neutralize odors and certain irritating gases such as formaldehyde. 

Activated Carbon Purifiers 

Ideal for removing odours and harmful gases (VOCs). Often combined with HEPA filters for complete purification. 

UV Lamp 

Use ultraviolet light to prevent microorganisms (viruses, bacteria) from regenerating. To be effective, the lamp must be combined with a carbon filter that will create a chemical reaction. It helps purify the air and eliminate odors.  

Hybrid Models 

Combine multiple technologies: HEPA, activated carbon, UV-C, ionization, and even humidification. A complete solution for complex environments. 

Buying Guide: Which Air Purifier Is Right for You? 

Choosing the right model depends on several factors: 

• Coverage area: each model specifies a maximum area. Choose a device that covers at least 20% more than your actual space. 

• Type of filter cabinet already built into your furnace and MERV filter efficiency level. 

• Level of purification required for your home 

• Maintenance: filters need regular replacement (every 6 to 12 months). Check their cost and availability. 

Breathe the Difference: Choose Clean Air at Home 

Installing an air purifier is more than just a purchase, it’s a long-term investment in your health, comfort, and quality of life. Whether you suffer from allergies, live with pets, or simply want cleaner air, the right purifier can transform your daily environment. 

By eliminating particles, allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and bacteria, these devices help create a healthier, more pleasant, and safer indoor environment. And with so many options available on the market, it’s now easy to find a model that perfectly meets your specific needs and can be integrated directly into your furnace system for greater efficiency and discretion.
