Bedrooms and an Air Purifier

Where is the best place to put an air purifier in a bedroom? You might be asking yourself - and you don't have to worry! There are many places in the home that can be where an air purification system can be installed.

The ideal spot for your system depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to remove dust particles? Smells? Allergens?

Can you sleep to close to an air Purifier

Yes, you can sleep with an air purifier in your bedroom. You can sleep close to the system and still breathe normally.

What you need to do is:

1. Select a unit that can accomplish the task(s) you want it to perform. This means that it should be able to remove dust, smells and/or allergens from the air in your room without "detecting" small particulates like pollen, dust, etc. It also means that it needs to be an efficient system with power consumption very low. It is best if this unit has a timer so that it will shut off when you are asleep (great for convenience). It should also have a low fan sound rating, as you will not want to disrupt your sleep by hearing a loud fan spinning.
   
   
2.  Consider the space that this system will take up. The smaller the unit and the higher it is off of the floor, the better. Also, make sure that it does not take up any electrical outlets in your room at night. If there are only two outlets available to plug in multiple devices, then you may need to consider other areas of your home for air purification such as a larger bedroom closet or space above a wall mounted TV or bookshelf organizer. You do not want this unit to be a "wall hanger.

Where is put an air purifier in a bedroom?

An air purifier placed on a nightstand or windowsill in your room is a good choice if you want to remove smells and/or allergens. This keeps it away from you so that you do not feel "chased" by the unit during the night.

You can place the unit on a wall, such as an above a headboard or TV. Some units have "hanging" apparatuses, while others have folding feet. If you purchase one of these units with feet, it will need to be very close to the wall for this feature to work properly. These types of units are very efficient at removing smoke, animal odors and many other airborne particles in addition to dust and dander.

Just do not place it on the floor!

Air purifiers work in bedrooms, but you have to consider where you are keeping it. If it is placed near your doorway, then you may feel a draft. Depending on two hard factors like the size of your bedroom and how many windows are present, determines where it would be best to keep the purifier.

If your bedroom is larger with more ventilation through open windows then it is easy to install an air purifier in a corner of the room or opposite of an open window.

Do I need to put air purifiers in all rooms?

You do not have to put an air purifier in every room of the house. If there are many rooms like a house or apartment, then you may need to use more than one unit to keep everyone breathing easier. If you are suffering from allergies or you want to remove smells like cigarette smoke, then you need one in almost every room. You could buy a different brand for each room so that each has its own special features 

Do air purifiers make noise?

Yes, some air purifiers make a lot of noise.

Some air purifiers can sound like a jet airplane and some are as quiet as whispering. You have to read about each unit to see what types of noise it makes when using it. If you do not want any noise at all, then stay away from ultra-high efficient units that pull the maximum amount of air per minute through their systems.

Those units with high CFM ratings are best placed in larger rooms where more volume is needed to clean the air quickly and quietly for larger applications like hotels and offices.

The ones we have recommended are very quiet.

Which way should an air purifier face?

The unit should face the direction where the air that will come out is headed (i.e. a fan facing downwards pushes air into the room). As long as it is in your bedroom, make sure it does not impact you when you sleep.

Go into your bedroom doorway and face your bedroom. Where your back is facing is where you'll want to point the air purifier!

How long does an air purifier run each night?

It depends on how big your room is, but you should have your unit working for at least 30 minutes to two hours. If you want that it run longer than that, then you can purchase an energy saver switch designed to reduce energy consumption quickly to keep your system running during the night when you are sleeping.

This takes away power from the motor and reduces it to a point where the unit will only run for as long as needed. Some of these work with remote controls so that you also can shut off the unit at night when you are in another part of the house and not disturb anyone else.

Can you run an air purifier with the windows open?

Yes, you can run a purifier in an open window, but it will not clean the air as well. Think of it this way: You have a window that is just opened to let in fresh air, but now you are adding an air purifier to force the "bad" stuff out that is left in the room and opening up to the rest of your home. Now you have two systems working at once to get rid of all the things that are going into your room.

Do air purifiers work for viruses?

Yes , air purifiers work great for getting rid of viruses, but remember that you can only get rid of it from the air that is coming out of the unit. Viruses do not travel through the air and when they come in through an open window or door, they are instantly removed.

Do air purifiers work for Bacteria?

Yes , air purifiers work great for getting rid of bacteria. You can remove them from your room in a matter of minutes, but you may have trouble removing bacteria in other parts of your home. This is why you need an entire home air purifier system and not just one to place in your bedroom.

Do air purifiers work for Dust mites?

Yes, an air purifier works for dust mites, but it takes a little longer because it does not remove them from your room. It just reduces the amount of particles that are in the air to keep them at a level where they do not bother you. If your home is affected with dust mites, you may think that buying an air purifier for dust mites will be enough, but it is not.
