Breathe easy

Improve your indoor air quality by combining air conditioning with air purifiers for a fresher, healthier living environment. 

You may not always think about the air you breathe at home, but it's a big deal. Poor indoor air quality can lead to allergies, asthma, and other health issues, especially with modern homes being more sealed and air-conditioned. Dust, pet dander, mould spores, and chemicals from cleaning products all contribute to indoor pollution. Combining an air conditioner with an air purifier is a simple yet effective way to ensure cleaner, healthier air for your family. 

The Power Duo: Air Conditioner + Air Purifier 

Air conditioners do more than cool the air—they help regulate humidity too. While many aircon units come with basic filters to capture larger particles like dust, they're not equipped to filter out smaller pollutants, bacteria, or airborne allergens.

This is where air purifiers shine. These devices are designed to filter out microscopic particles. Models with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters can capture up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including allergens, bacteria, and some viruses. By pairing an air purifier with your aircon, you create a healthier indoor environment with every breath.

 

How to Choose the Right Air Purifier

When shopping for an air purifier to complement your air conditioning, consider:
• Filter Type: HEPA filters offer the best performance, and models with activated carbon filters can help remove odours and chemical pollutants.
• Room Size: Make sure the purifier is suitable for your room's size to achieve the best air-cleaning performance.
• Noise Level: A quieter model is ideal for bedrooms or study areas.
• Additional Features: Look for smart sensors, air quality indicators, and auto modes for added convenience.

Best Practices for Cleaner Air at Home

To get the most out of your aircon and air purifier, follow these simple tips:
• Keep Windows Closed: Especially during hazy or high pollen seasons, keeping windows shut helps maintain purified air.
• Regular Maintenance: Clean or replace filters regularly to keep both devices running efficiently.
• Smart Placement: Position the air purifier in a spot with good airflow, avoiding corners or areas blocked by furniture.
• Control Humidity: Set your aircon to maintain a comfortable humidity level (30% to 50%) to prevent mould growth.
