EnviroAire offers two different media air cleaners, but do you know which one is best for your home?
Choosing the right filtration system for your home is essential to maintain clean, healthy breathing conditions. However, it can be challenging to decide which filter is suitable for your home. Below are the differences between the two filtration systems to help you decide which filter is right for your home!
Benefits Of A 5” Media Air Cleaner
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty
- Reduces long-term HVAC maintenance cost
- Increases efficiency and extends the life of your HVAC system
- UV resistant
- Requires no electrical modifications
- No-gap box design prevents air from getting past the cleaner
- Produces no ozone due to non-moving parts
- Captures 98% of pollen and mold spores
- Provides more than 10x the filtering media used in standard 1″ filters
Benefits Of A 1” Polarized Media Air Cleaner
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty
- Reduces long-term HVAC maintenance cost
- Increases efficiency and extends the life of your HVAC system
- UV resistant
- No ductwork modifications
- Captures 97% of particulates
- Brush Seal technology prevents particle blow-by
As you can see, the first 5 bullet points are the same for both filters. However, there are a few significant differences. To put it simply, the 5” Media Air Cleaner is more powerful, but it does require ductwork modifications. In other words, your HVAC system would need to be modified to install the filter. The 1” Polarized Media Air Cleaner does not require ductwork modifications, but it is less powerful than the 5” Media Air Cleaner.
In summary, if you’re not looking to modify your HVAC system, but you still want a powerful filter, go with the 1” Polarized Media Air Cleaner. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line filtration system and you don’t mind having your ductwork modified, go with the 5” Media Air Cleaner.
