TrueCLEANAir recommends whole-house air cleaners. While there may be some situations in which a portable single-room air cleaner or purifier may resolve an issue, in most cases they are inadequate because it:
-
and besides not cleaning air in other rooms, probably is not other addressing areas
-
is unsightly and not easily hidden, can be in the way of other household activities
-
involves use of water and requires frequent maintenance; if improperly maintained, standing, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for the very bacterial and microbial particles causing your problems, making your air quality worse instead of better
We recommend and install whole-house air cleaners from these two leading vendors:
Aprilaire Whole-House Air Cleaners
Depending on the size of your home and the nature of your IAQ problems, TrueCLEANair recommends any of these three electronic whole-house air cleaner models from Aprilaire:
Aprilaire Model 500
The Aprilaire Model 5000 Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaner has been rated #1 three years running by a leading products ratings magazine for some very good reasons: it electronically charges particles and traps them like a magnet better than any other air cleaner, using 72 square feet of Aprilaire-branded micro fiber filtering media. This traps 99% of airborne bacteria-sized particles, removes 94% of respirable dust which can trigger asthma and removes up to 80% of airborne virus-sized particles. And, there’s no monthly cleaning of collector plates like with other types of electronic air cleaners; Model 5000’s media needs to be changed only once a year.

Honeywell Whole House Air Cleaners
With a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) efficiency of 15.7 (the highest is 16), Honeywell’s TrueClean™ Enhanced Whole-House Air Cleaner System provides purification typically required in hospitals and other super clean environments. Indeed, most residential air quality systems typically only have a MERV of 1 to 4! Which means there’s still a of stuff floating about that you really don’t want to have to breath!
TrueCLEAN deactivates 99 percent of captured particles, making it dramatically more effective than single-room portable units, standard one-inch furnace filters and practically all other whole-house air cleaning systems. Because it’s installed in your central heating and cooling system, it provides sanitized air throughout your home.
TrueCLEAN employs a unique 3-step filtration system that charges, captures and destroys airborne particles:
-
Ionizing Points: charges trapped particulates to kill biological organisms; charged particulates are also more easily and completely trapped.
-
Filter Enhancement Plane: captures charged particles that is loaded 360 degrees around the filter fibers, not just on the face, as is the case
with a standard media filter. This also results in a longer lasting filter where efficiency actually increases as the filter gets dirty.
-
Carbon-Tipped Filter: deactivates more than 99 percent of the captured particles, keeping your home and your family safe.
TrueCLEAN captures almost all your indoor air pollutants and recirculates clean, pollutant free air throughout your house. It’s actually better than fresh air!
Easy to maintain (just lightly dust the ionizing points and replace the filter every 6 to 12 months), TrueCLEAN also saves you money by keeping your heating and cooling equipment clean, improving efficiency and extending service life. Plus, TrueCLEAN is back by Honeywell with a 5-year warranty, so you can count on built-in reliability.
TrueCLEAN’s noiseless operation and out-of-sight installation allows you to enjoy clean air in your home and safe keep the health of your family and your pets all without interfering with your daily life routine. So you can breath easy.
