Using Electricity to Clean Your Air

When we talk about air purifiers, we are referring to the use of either an electrostatic precipitator or an ion generator to clean the air in your home. These may sound like fancy names, but what these two air purifiers do is use electricity to capture the contaminants in your home. An ion generator captures particles by generating negative ions that the device disperses into the air; the negative ions attract the contaminants in the air, such as dander, pollen and dust, and the contaminant and negative ion become a single, negatively–charged particle. This new particle is attracted to the surfaces in your home, attaches to them, and is removed when a surface is cleaned. An electronic precipitator works a little differently. Using a small fan, an electronic precipitator draws air into it, including contaminants. Once the contaminants enter the precipitator, they are negatively charged and are then collected on oppositely–charged metal plates. Using electricity to clean your home’s indoor air can be a great option for those who prefer not to use a mechanical air filter. However, correct installation is critical to gaining the benefits of any air cleaner, so make sure you give us a call.
