San Jose air cleaners and purifiers are offered in a wide variety of sizes and styles. The most ‎common types of air cleaner include filter based, mechanical as well as those utilizing electronic ‎ionizers. The needs of your home and what types of contaminants are present (and need to be ‎captured) will help determine the size and style of air cleaner or purifier that will be the best fit for ‎you.‎

Standard mechanical air filters in most cases use a media filter that blocks larger contaminants as air ‎flows thru it. The usual suspects found in a home like pet dander, pollen, dust, and possibly mold ‎spores are caught in the filters prior to them being able to re-circulate throughout your home. Media ‎air filters ratings are based on the MERV scale. Essentially the higher the filter is rated the more ‎contaminants it will capture. Another filter that is available is the HEPA filter, we recommend ‎contacting one of our trained experts to understand the best choice for the air handler in your ‎home.‎

Electronic air cleaners and purifiers employ a different methodology and utilize an ionization ‎process that helps eliminate particulates from indoor air. This technology electronically “charges” ‎the air which separates smaller particles like those found in smoke and extracts them from the air ‎flow in your home, vs. running air through a filter.‎
