IQAir Air Purifiers

Overview

IQAir makes high end air purification systems for both residential and commercial use. Their flagship portable product, the HealthPro Plus, has won numerous awards and recognitions even though it was not rated highly by Consumer Reports in 2007. There has been debate on whether the Consumer Reports rating system is really a good method since several high end units from leading air purifier companies that test very well with laser particle counters don't tend to score highly while many lower priced units from mass market companies do.

IQAir units tend to be expensive both in initial cost and filter replacement but are some of the best available for filtering particles and possibly some gasses. Whole house systems that integrate into existing HVAC structures are extremely expensive. IQAir also makes units designed for professional applications like dental offices, hospital cleanrooms, and manufacturing plants.

IQAir Company History

IQAir® was begun by two German brothers 45 years ago and has grown to become an industry leader in indoor air quality research and development. Their state-of-the-art factory on Lake of Constance in Switzerland produces high-quality residential and commercial air purification stand-alone single room models as well as whole-House units that can be integrated into HVAC systems. IQAir systems can be purchased online or in franchise stores for $700 to $2300, depending on their level of sophistication.

IQAir Purification Technology

Most HEPA air filters last for 1 year and only captures particles down to 0.3 microns, which allows finer particles to escape. IQAir products feature HyperHEPA® filters which can capture particles down to 0.003 microns with a guaranteed minimum of 99.5% efficiency. They last 2 to 4 years and come in a 4-pack that cost between $295 and $395. Advanced models have V5-Cell gas filters that provide the molecular odor control capabilities to remove volatile organic compounds and gaseous chemicals and have to be replaced every 1 to 2 years.

Their "fan-in-center" design makes the 6-speed fan ultra-quiet, although the maximum energy consumption for all units is 215 watts, not too energy-efficient. IQAir® offers a 5 year warranty, excluding filters, on products for residential use and a 1 year warranty on products for commercial use.

Residential Whole-House Air Purifiers

The Perfect 16™ package includes a pre-installation evaluation, actual installation, post-installation testing and verification. All units are tested at the factory before being shipped and qualified technicians measure the particulate level in the home before and after installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours. IQAir® guarantees that the air will be 10 times cleaner after installation with over a 90 percent reduction in the airborne pollutants. No filter replacements are required for 3 years, making the yearly operational costs between $100 to $125. Although the homeowner can replace filters, it is recommended that an authorized installer replace them so they can retest the system and verify the date of filter replacement.

Commercial Air Purifiers

The GC series from IQAir is specifically designed for challenging environments like manufacturing plants or medical laboratories where chemical contamination is an issue. The smaller units are suitable for homeowners that have serious chemical, gas or odor issues. The main difference between the models is the type of material in the filtration cartridge, each of which contains 12-22 pounds of gas phase media. Each unit contains an activated carbon filter -- sold in sets of four-- and a fine dust micro-and-nano HEPA pre-filter. They all have control panels that feature an intelligent filter life monitor, six-speed fan settings, a programmable timer and LED status lights.

IQAir® products have received excellent ratings from many reviewers including Consumer Digest, Test Magazine, Newsweek and the Allergy Buyers Club, and are often rated number one in their category.
