Electronic air cleaners can boost the air quality in your home. An electronic air cleaner can be especially useful in an area like Denver, where the weather can change in an instant. The erratic weather can prevent ventilating your home by opening doors and windows. Also, if you or your family members suffer from allergies, open doors and windows will allow allergens, dirt and other pollution into your home. Under these circumstances, electronic air cleaners provide a great way to improve your home’s indoor air quality.

The best way to judge the efficiency of an electronic air cleaning device is to check its MERV rating. The MERV rating was created to inform consumers how effective each specific filter is at trapping airborne particles. The rating scale ranges from 1 to 16; the higher the rating, the better the filter. Typically, a filter with a MERV score of above 11 is considered an efficient option.

All electronic air cleaners should be able to remove pollen, mold, dust, mold spores, dust mites and bacteria from the air in your home, but the best electronic air cleaning devices will also remove gases, cigarette smoke, chemical fumes and bad odors. Depending on how much you can spend, it might be a great idea to consider a whole-house purification system.

Another consideration before purchasing an electronic air cleaner for your home is how much electricity each system uses. The most efficient air cleaners do not use a ton of energy. Also, some air cleaning devices can get pretty loud, and if you want the unit to be in your bedroom at night, you may want a unit that runs quietly.
