Central Air Purification and Whole-House Filtration Systems

Modern Alchemy carries the finest in whole-house air filtration systems, but the first consideration is whether a whole-house system is right for you. Using two room units on different levels of your house is often more effective, and can sometimes save you money if you're looking at top-of-the-line products.

Choose a Whole-House System if...

• You require only light air cleaning (e.g., 0.5 to 1 air exchange per hour throughout the house)
• You have no respiratory issues or air-related health concerns
• You’re primarily interested in removing larger airborne particles such as dust, pollen and mold spores
• You have minimal or no chemical, gas and odour concerns
• You don't have space for room units or prefer your air cleaning system to be out of sight
• You don’t mind hiring a professional installer or are a handyman and want to do it yourself

Choose Room Air Purifier(s) if...

• You want premium air cleaning (e.g., up to 8 air exchanges per hour in your primary living space)
• You have asthma, allergies, respiratory issues, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue or other health issues that might be related to your indoor air
• You seek comprehensive cleaning of smaller airborne particles such as fine dust, pet dander, smoke particulates and bacteria
• You want to effectively handle hazardous VOCs, chemical fumes or off-gassing from new houses, carpet, paint, etc
• You are a “plug and play” person who wants to use the unit straight out of the box

NOTE: There are two types of central air filtration systems: bypass and inline. Bypass systems such as the Epurair MA-1C, AllerAir AirMedic Pro 6 Plus AH and the Electrocorp 9975 AH typically filter 30% of the air being returned to the furnace by the HVAC system. Inline furnace systems such as the IQAir Perfect 16 filter 100% of the circulated air. However, keep in mind that inline systems only capture particulate matter (e.g., pollen, mold spores, dust) and have no chemical and gas removal capabilities, whereas bypass units are able to adsorb some chemical fumes and toxic gases as well as particles. As noted above, if you are interested in more comprehensive chemical, gas and odour removal, then a portable unit on each level of the house or in specific rooms is your best bet.
