I'm interesting on getting something for my whole house, but would like to avoid anything that emits ozone? Any suggestions or experiences?

if you are doing the whole house... get a 3" filter box for your air handler and run a better filter in it followed by a charcoal filter in the original filter location.

Anything else that doesn't have a UV lamp in it is a waste of money.

my partner uses one at work, I wish we had one here, but since our house is 3 floors, we'd need 3 machines. so anyway, I just vacuum a lot. he says it's too loud to run on high while people are working, but they put it on high overnight.

before you go out and drop a lot of money on something, do you have reason to believe your air quality is poor, and is that quantifiable?

I'm only asking because i've had more than one HVAC company try to convince me that I needed to buy a $1000+ air purifier to "protect my family" and other scary sounding stuff, which pretty much prompted me to make the guy live my house immediately.

I have some air quality test done. In general, I would love a house hold unit just because, but I'm not talking to anyone about it. I wanted to pick TWWs brain first.

^^ i had some korean system (it was cheaper, but i lost those savings when i had to have a custom filter made because i couldn't get a replacement) and there was a noticeable improvement on allergy problems and the number of dust bunnies.
