The Top 10 Best In-home Air Purifiers for Utah Homes

One of the aspects that makes Utah such a livable place is the many opportunities to experience the great outdoors.

However, you likely spend a lot of time indoors, whether at home or at work. Even with decent outdoor air quality in Utah, your indoor air quality can still suffer. Did you know that indoor air quality is just as important as outdoor air quality? Unfortunately, most people don’t think to monitor their indoor air quality nearly as much as they should.

Utah weather means that you’re running your air conditioning in the hot months and heating in the colder months. Without proper maintenance, such frequent use can decrease the air quality in your home (not to mention increase your utility bill).

Without a steady stream of fresh air, it’s natural for things like mold, dust, pollen, and pet hair particles to linger in your indoor air. With this indoor air pollution, you’re more likely to catch a cold or for your allergies or asthma to be triggered. We know that allergies in Utah can already be pretty intense, and those allergens being trapped in the airflow of your house doesn’t help.

Furthermore, the climate in Utah is quite dry, which contributes to stuffy noses and dry throats a lot of the year, especially in colder months. These symptoms can cause our immune systems to weaken, meaning we are more susceptible to airborne pathogens and allergens.

As an air duct cleaning company in Utah, we work with many clients all along the Wasatch Front, including (but not limited to) Salt Lake City and Park City to help protect the air quality inside their homes. Along with making sure your air vents are clean, you can also purchase an air purifier. We’ve come across quite a few in-home air purifiers, so we want to share some of our favorites with you.

Here are our top ten in-home air purifiers for Utah homes:

1. Dreval D-950 HEPA Air Purifier and Humidifier Combo Unit

This air purifier has an incredible filtration system comprising of four filters and is HEPA certified, meaning it will cleanse the air of 99.7% of all airborne particles larger than 0.01 micron. Aside from being a powerful air purifier, the Dreval is also an effective humidifier. The combination of purifying the air and adding in a bit of moisture is especially useful in Utah’s dry climate. At under four hundred dollars on Amazon, this powerful filter/humidifier is a great deal for how effective it is in Utah homes.

2. Oreck WK15500B Air Refresh 2-in-1 Hepa Air Purifier & Ultrasonic Humidifier

We love this air filter and humidifier combo system for small rooms like bedrooms or home offices. It has a silencing feature, so it won’t be too noisy when you’re trying to sleep or make business calls. It also works quickly, creating a fresher atmosphere within hours after first turning it on. 

3. Coway Airmega 200M Air Purifier

This small and sleek air purifier reminds us of a vintage radio. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it’s powerful too and can purify the air in rooms up to 361 square feet. The four-filter HEPA system can tell when it has cleaned all pollutants from the air and will then turn off to save energy. It also automatically adjusts its fan speed based on the quality of air it detects. At under $200 at Walmart, it’s a total steal.

4. Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier

We mentioned how allergies in Utah are no joke. Well, if you have allergies, this air purifier could be perfect for you. It automatically measures pollen and other pollutant levels in your home and adjusts its filtration strength to remove up to 99.97% of all pollutants from the air in your home. With 10 fan speeds and an oscillation feature, the Dyson Pure Cool ensures your whole room is cleaned of pollutants, not just one part of the room or only some pollutants. 

5. Dyson Pure Hot + Cool

Oh Dyson, how we love thee… This in-home air purifier is another incredible product from Dyson and is super effective in Utah homes. This device doubles as both a purifier and space heater/cooler, making it adaptable to any season in Utah. It automatically detects when air needs to be filtered, can oscillate to make sure it’s cleaning the whole room, and if you’re using the space heater feature, it will switch to standby mode when it reads that the temperature in the room has reached your desired setting. In hotter weather, switch the fan on to cool down your room. 

6. Envion by Boneco Four Seasons FS200 4-in-1

This air purifier pretty much does everything a Utah home could need. It serves as an air purifier, humidifier, fan, and ceramic heater. It is a HEPA filtration system, meaning it is highly effective in destroying harmful airborne particles. Humid air can be a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, but the extra moisture is also beneficial in balancing out dryer climates like the one we have in Utah. Combining an air purifier with a humidifier is genius because you get all the benefits of a humidifier, while also ridding the air of any bacteria that could be growing from the humidity.

Bonus: the ceramic heater further destroys any airborne pathogens, since heat sanitizes. The ceramic is also a natural odor-reducer, making this device is a win all-around.

7. Klarstein Monaco Ultrasonic Humidifier and Ionizer/Air Purifier

We can’t recommend air purifier and humidifier combination systems enough! It is such a great deal to buy one product that does two important jobs to increase the air quality in your Utah home. We love the ionized air purifying system this device has. Ionized systems are often even more effective than the already incredible HEPA systems, because they can destroy tiny particles on a molecular level. This product also requires minimal maintenance, which is a huge plus in our book.

8. New Comfort 6 Stage UV Ozone Generator and HEPA Air Purifier

This compact air purifier is the perfect addition to any Utah home, because it can fit on your coffee table, desk, or kitchen counter. It has a powerful fan that sucks air into its filtering system to remove all harmful particles in the air. It also has a highly effective odor-removing system that is further strengthened by the humidifier feature. It’s totally safe to add essential oils to the humidifier, which can add fresh, delightful scents to whichever room you use this purifier/humidifier in. 

9. SharpKC-850U Plasmacluster

This air filtration system and humidifier has the rare backing of the medical community. In fact, many clinics use this air purifier due to its high sanitation capabilities. It is extremely adept at detecting and attacking pollen, dust, and smoke particles. If you’re feeling run down from that dry Utah air, check this air purifier to see what the humidity level is at in your home, and run the humidifier if you need some extra moisture in the air. 

10. Molekule Air FIlter

This air filter is one of the priciest in-home air purifiers on the market, but also one of the most effective. It has two stages to its filtering process. First, it filters the air for larger particles like dandruff or pollen. It’s second stage is said to eliminate bacteria that are 1000 times smaller than what most other air purifiers can destroy. If you tend to catch colds each winter, have asthma, or experience allergies, this air purifier is for you.
