Perfect 16 Air Filtration System by IQAir

0 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

I'm new to the whole world of home air filtration systems but I've been doing my research lately and thought I'd share my findings. My condo is located of a busy street so I get a lot of dust from the mass amounts of trucks and cars that drive by, not to mention the usual city dust that gets kicked up. I needed a powerful system that would extend my health around the home, as well fight off the vast amounts of dust that would collect so quickly.

I know there are a handful of different choices when it comes to air filtration systems, but I wanted the best and I don't mind paying for it. I recently picked up the newest Robb Report and it came with a bonus magazine with a review of gadgets and other household items. It was here I came across a review(advertisement?) for the Perfect 16 by IQAir which is a Swiss company renowned for their air filtration. I'm not stranger to what the Swiss can do with a watch, so I figured they must be masters at creating these fine tuned systems.

For those who are unaware of the health rating system in place to grade air filtration systems, the rating is called MERV(Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value). MERV was created by the the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers to independently verify how well an air filtration system really cleans the air. The Perfect 16 is to this day the only air filtration system to receive a MERV 16 rating which is the highest possible. That alone is enough to convince me, but lets take a look at some of the Perfect 16's features so you can decide for yourself.

The Perfect 16 is the only whole-house air cleaning system that gives you a 90% improvement in indoor air quality within just one hour after installation. So those who like instant gratification will be pleased with the efficiency and quickness the Perfect 16 gets to work. Every unit installed is done by a professional and the installer will test your air with an advanced laser particle counter before and after installation. This is show you that your Perfect 16 really is giving you the cleanest air possible.

Since the Perfect 16 is the best, it isn't cheap, but that is so bad in a few ways. Besides having the highest quality product, unlike a lot of other filtration systems, this one only requires a filter change every 3 years. The Perfect 16's revolutionary patented Double "V" filters are so efficient and long lasting that you don't need to do anything to service them for three full years!

What are the costs you ask? The unit installed, tested and your home air quality tests are bundled at just over $3000 USD. That is quite a bit of change, but you are getting the best right? There is of course a payment plan option with IQAir that will get you the Perfect 16 system installed and running for less than $250 USD a month.
