We might cause some head-scratching with this answer, but when it comes to which air purifier is best, the real answer is, “it depends.” The thing is, different homes have different air quality needs. There are a wide number of things to consider. Overall, indoor air quality in Salt Lake City homes is often worse than that of outdoors, because contaminants, allergens, and even dry air get trapped inside due to tight home construction.
We can’t say what’s best for your specific home until we do a thorough assessment, but what we can tell you is that it’s best to get a whole-house system professionally installed, versus purchasing a small, portable system that can really only help a room or two.
But how do you even know you need a whole-house indoor air quality product of any kind?
Each of these problems can be tackled by a different type of indoor air quality product. For the problem of contaminants and mold growth, a whole-house air purifier such as UV germicidal lights or an electrostatic air cleaner may be the answer.

Smaller, portable air purification units can only handle a small area of your home at once. Rather than investing in multiple portable systems, homeowners find that a whole-house air purifier can be more cost-efficient.
You won’t have to maintain several units. Rather, you can just focus on one. And cleaner air will enable to you to less frequently change your HVAC air filters, which is an added money-savings benefit.
Whole-house air purifiers can typically be integrated right into your HVAC system and/or its ventilation system. This means you don’t have to use up any space that would otherwise be taken up by smaller units. Nor do you have to deal with the noise of these systems.
Lastly, you’ll have uniform indoor air quality throughout your home 24/7. Air purifiers serve as an excellent preventive tool for avoiding major air quality problems.
