Room Air Cleaners

ENERGY STAR® qualified room air cleaners use less energy to remove particles, such as dust and pollen from indoor air. They allow you to breathe cleaner air while saving you up to $150 over the air-cleaner’s life-time.

Facts & Product Knowledge:

  • ENERGY STAR room air cleaners are 35% more energy efficient than standard models.
  • To qualify for the ENERGY STAR designation, room air cleaners must produce a minimum Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 50 for dust. CADR is a measure of the amount of contaminant-free air delivered by the room air cleaner.
  • There are additional advantages in specific models, such as remote control settings, timers and adjustable vents.

Consider using window fans, particularly in the evening when you can draw cooler air into the house.

Make sure floor & wall vents are not blocked by draperies, furniture, or rugs.
