Haven’t used your air purifier since COVID? Consider bringing it back out this winter. With an air purifier, you can reduce dust & potential allergens that may have accumulated in your heating vents throughout the year. You can lower the risk of airborne illnesses through the purifier’s filtration system, which can reduce sickness by up to 99%.

In our new guide, we cover some of the top signs your air purifier may need a maintenance service, especially if it’s been a few years since you last turned it on. Read more below!

How Can I Tell If My Air Purifier Needs a Repair Service This Winter?

  • Reduced Effectiveness: You or your family members start noticing an increase in allergy symptoms or more dust settling on surfaces. This suggests the purifier is no longer capturing particles as it should.
  • Indicator Lights: Many modern air purifiers have warning lights that alert you to internal problems or when a filter needs changing. Ignoring these can lead to bigger issues.
  • Unit Powers Off Unexpectedly: If your air purifier shuts down on its own, it could indicate an electrical problem or an overheating motor that needs immediate inspection.

My Air Purifier is Making Strange Noises. Should I Get it Repaired?

If your purifier is making strange noises––buzzing, rattling grinding–– it could have a mechanical problem. These sounds can start quietly but may become louder over time as the internal components wear down. Continuing to run the unit can cause more extensive damage, leading to more expensive repairs. Addressing the issue promptly ensures the longevity of your air purifier.

Does Poor Airflow Affect My Air Purifier’s Performance?

Poor airflow significantly reduces your air purifier’s ability to clean the air in a room. If you place your hand near the vents and feel little to no air coming out, it could be due to a clogged filter or a blockage within the unit.  If replacing the filter does nothing, your purifier may have an internal issue, which can be diagnosed by a technician.
