Our whole-home air purifiers stand out for their exceptional performance, efficiency, and affordability, making them an ideal choice for any household. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to select the best air purifier for your home and why Bryant whole home air purifiers are a great option.
Eight Things To Look For When Choosing The Best Air Purifier For Your Home
Selecting the best whole-home air purifier for your home involves considering several factors to ensure you’re making the right choice for your indoor air quality needs. Whole-home air purifiers are designed to work with your existing HVAC system to clean the air throughout your entire home. Here’s a guide to help you select the best system for your space.
1. Size of Your Home
The size of your home is one of the first factors to consider. Air purifiers are rated based on their ability to clean the air in a given space, typically measured in square footage. A system that is too small for your home will struggle to maintain proper air filtration, while one that is too large may waste energy and be unnecessarily expensive. Determine your home’s square footage and choose a unit designed to handle that space for optimal performance.
2. Air Quality Needs
Consider your specific air quality concerns. If your home experiences high levels of dust, pet dander, or pollen, look for a system with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. If you're concerned about allergens, pollutants, or viruses, you may want to opt for a unit with advanced filtration systems like activated carbon filters or UV lights, which can kill bacteria and viruses while removing odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
3. Efficiency and Filter Types
The type of filters used in the air purifier is crucial to its effectiveness. Activated carbon filters can absorb odors, gases, and chemicals, making them ideal for homes with cooking or tobacco smoke. Some systems also feature electrostatic filters that use an electrical charge to trap particles, offering another layer of filtration.
4. Airflow and CFM Rating
Check the airflow capacity of the system, typically measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute). A higher CFM indicates that the purifier can clean the air more effectively and efficiently across larger spaces. It’s important to match the CFM with the size of your home to ensure that air is being cleaned thoroughly.
5. Noise Levels
Consider the noise level of the air purifier, especially if it will be installed in living areas or bedrooms. Some units are designed to operate quietly, while others can be more noticeable, especially at higher speeds. Choose a system with a low noise level if maintaining peace and quiet is important in your home.
6. Maintenance and Cost of Replacement Filters
All air purifiers require regular maintenance, particularly filter changes. Be sure to consider the cost and availability of replacement filters when selecting a system. Some units have filters that need to be replaced every few months, while others can last longer, which can affect the overall cost of ownership.
7. Installation and Compatibility
Ensure the air purifier is compatible with your HVAC system and that installation is feasible in your home. Some systems are designed for easy installation, while others may require professional installation. Bryant offers a variety of whole-home air purifiers with various installation options that are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing HVAC system for efficient air filtration without the need for additional equipment.
8. Warranty and Support
Check the warranty and customer support options provided by the manufacturer. A strong warranty can offer peace of mind, especially if your system experiences any issues over time. Additionally, reliable customer support is essential if you have questions or need assistance with installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Bryant air purifiers come with a 10-year parts limited warranty upon timely registration (excludes filter replacements)1.
Choosing the best whole-home air purifier for your home involves balancing your air quality needs with the size of your space, filter types, efficiency, and noise levels. Bryant’s variety of air purifiers offers solutions for a wide range of homes, providing clean, fresh air while improving overall indoor comfort. By carefully considering these factors, you can select a purifier that fits your home and lifestyle, ensuring your family enjoys optimal indoor air quality.
Bryant’s Best Air Purifier Options For You
Bryant offers different air purifier options to help improve indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment. From high-efficiency filters to advanced UV light systems, Bryant’s air purifiers are designed to meet the unique needs of your home and your budget while providing cleaner, fresher air. Let’s take a look at Bryant’s offering.
EVOLUTION AIR PURIFIER
Our highest performing solution for cleaning the air in your home, the Evolution™ Air Purifier features Captures & Kills® technology designed to reduce select airborne bacteria, viruses, pollen and more. These airborne particulates can aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms and could be carrying cold and flu viruses. The Evolution™ Air Purifier helps improve the air quality of your entire home by inactivating 99% of germs captured by the MERV 15 filter.1
The Evolution™ Air Purifier works in three easy steps:
- Charge: The purifier creates a “cloud” of electrically charged ions that attach themselves to airborne dust, pollen, viruses, germs and other particles as they pass through
- Capture: The ionized particles are pulled toward an oppositely charged, pleated MERV 15 rated filter and captured at an extremely high rate, similar to how a magnet attracts metal shavings.2
- Kill: Captured airborne microbes remain on the pleated filter instead of recirculating back into the home and are subjected to an intense electric field. There, 99% of select viruses and bacteria are inactivated.3
The Evolution™ Air Purifier provides you with two distinct installation options for including this important technology in homes where installation may not have previously been an option.
The Evolution™ Air Purifier is installed on or near the furnace/ air handler of your home’s indoor comfort system to help reduce airborne particles that circulate throughout your home. Filtering these pollutants keeps the equipment components cleaner, and more importantly, reduces unwanted particles from the air you breathe.
Legacy™ Line EZ Flex Cabinet Air Filter
The Legacy™ Line EZ Flex Cabinet Air Filter expandable media filter efficiently traps unwanted airborne particles while allowing free flow of cleaner air to maintain your HVAC system's energy efficiency. Because it helps keep your system's components cleaner, you can expect less wear and tear for longer life for your HVAC. It has a MERV 10 efficiency that treats the air flowing through your system and captures 63% of particles 1.0 to 3.0 microns in size. Deep pleated filters hold more dust for fewer filter changes. And when you do need to change the filter, it’s a breeze thanks to its filter cabinet door.
Carbon Air Purifier With UV
Our Carbon Air Purifier with UV provides dual treatment technology through a carbon core and UV light to improve indoor air quality. It helps maintain a healthier home through air purification targeting the reduction of unwanted odors, volatile organic compounds, and common household gases from indoor air, while aiding in the reduction of microorganism, e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria and viruses, growth on the evaporative coil4, and release into recirculated indoor air.5

2The Evolution air purifier and return air purifier have demonstrated effectiveness against the murine coronavirus, based on third-party testing (2020) showing a >99% inactivation, which is a virus similar to the human novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. Therefore, both air purifiers can be expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance with its directions for use. Third-party testing (2012, 2007) also shows ≥99% inactivation for the type of virus that causes common colds, Streptococcus pyogenes and human influenza. Airborne particles must flow through your HVAC system and be trapped by the MERV 15 Evolution filter to be inactivated at 99%.
3 MERV is a filter efficiency standard ranging from 1 to 16 (higher MERV = higher efficiency). The Evolution air purifier achieves a MERV 15 rating based on third-party testing (2012) showing 95% of particles size 1.0 to 3.0 microns captured and 85% of particles size 0.3 to 1.0 microns captured.
