Air Cleaners in Sarasota, FL

Clean or Purify?

Many first-time customers often confuse air cleaners with air purifiers. Technically, these terms refer to similar devices, but "air cleaner" typically describes models that use filtration technology, while "air purifier" often refers to those that use ionization technology. The best choice for you will depend on the specific contaminants you’re concerned about. Focus on what types of pollutants are most common in your home and what might affect the health of your household members.

Prioritizing Your Air Cleaning

If allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander are your primary indoor air quality issues, you’ll want to choose air cleaners designed to tackle these contaminants. Conversely, if smoke, odors, and gases are your main concerns, select products specifically effective at removing these types of particles.

Whole-House Media Filters

Top air cleaners generally use media filters to capture contaminants. These filters, often made from compressed paper fibers, can remove up to 99.97% of particles measuring 0.3 microns or larger. The effectiveness of media filters has made them a popular choice. If opting for a filtration-based air cleaner, check the system’s MERV rating. The MERV rating, developed by ASHRAE, measures filter efficiency, with MERV 16 providing the highest level of filtration, suitable for hospital settings and capable of filtering out bacteria, smoke odors, and dander.

Pure Air Is Possible

Lennox’s PureAir system is a top choice for air purification. It combines PCO technology with advanced media filtration. The system features a MERV 16 filter along with UVA bulbs and a titanium-dioxide coated screen. Air passes through the media filter to remove particulates and is then treated with photo catalytic oxidation (PCO) to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This system offers thorough air cleaning without adding ozone and can be installed on most air handlers, though it requires sufficient space.

Reme Halo & Halo LED

We proudly offer the REME Halo, a cutting-edge air purification system from RGF. Originally designed to address sick building syndrome, the HALO is a next-generation IAQ solution. It features enhanced ionized hydro-peroxide output for faster microbial kill rates and better particulate removal, providing relief for those with allergies and respiratory issues. The REME HALO® whole-home in-duct air purifier purifies every bit of air your central system reaches, reducing odors and pollutants and recreating nature’s air purification process indoors.

Patriot Carbon

The Patriot Carbon is another excellent option, using a hybrid of UV light and a catalyst to neutralize VOCs and contaminants. This whole-house air purifier uses UV-C light combined with activated carbon cells to address odors caused by VOCs like formaldehyde and toluene. By neutralizing these VOCs, the Patriot Carbon destroys odors and converts harmful molecules into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide.
