Having a well-sealed home is the first step to protecting indoor air from heat and moisture, but it can also lead to poor air quality. To combat this, many people opt for an HVAC ionizer, such as the Home Needlepoint ionizer or the Pure-Plasma Air 600, which can clean areas of up to 2,400 square feet. Research has shown that furnace ionizers installed as part of an air conditioning system and air purifiers located in shared building spaces help eliminate viruses and pollutants from the air, including mold, bacteria, and allergens. When considering installing an HVAC air purifier, it's important to understand the maintenance requirements and safety precautions needed.
It is essential to ensure that the installation technician is properly certified and trained in the specific type of equipment being installed. Additionally, it's important to consider the cost of professional installation services. Installing a common ionizer air purifier for an oven takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the location of the oven or air conditioning system, ease of access, level of experience, and other factors. When trying to install an HVAC air purifier on your own, it's important to understand that there are many complex components involved and that mistakes made during assembly can result in serious damage or injury.
To ensure safety, it is important to opt for a model with a good power rating at the time of initial purchase and maintain regular maintenance afterwards. Additionally, you can install an ionizer that complies with the UL 2998 standard, which basically states that this product does not produce ozone.
