Westinghouse Air Purifiers

Westinghouse offers a indoor air quality equipment that can be installed on new or existing HVAC systems as well as a line of portable air purification units for different sized rooms. These units are designed to target indoor air pollutants such as mold, dust, pollen, chemicals, pet dander and tobacco smoke.

Portable Indoor Air Purifiers

Westinghouse produces three portable air filtration units that are ideal for single rooms, workshops and offices. They boast a “whisper-quiet technology” and the unit itself occupies very little space. Contaminated air passes through a pre-filter, a HEPA filter, a carbon filter, a bacterial prevention filter and a complex silicon filter that absorbs kitchen odors.

HVAC Whole House Air Cleaners

Westinghouse makes a line of indoor air quality products designed to be attached directly to the HVAC units in commercial and residential properties. They can be installed either as a retrofit or as part of a new energy-efficient home unit.

Westinghouse’s Dual Air Cleaning system uses a HEPA filter to clean the dirty air as it enters the HVAC unit from the main vents. This filtered air is deflected into an Electrostatic Media Air Cleaner which removes additional airborne pollutants. By that time the air enters the furnace or air handler, it has had 99.9% of particulates down to 0.3 microns in size removed from the air stream. This greatly enhances the performance and lifetime of the HVAC unit while providing clean air to the entire house — which prevents a buildup of mold and mildew — and many other airborne contaminants that trigger respiratory issues and cause deterioration of structures.

The Westinghouse In-Duct Air Purifier uses the Sanuvox High Efficiency UV system which has a “Turbulator” to slow the air as it moves over a UV “J” Lamp. This dramatically increases the ultra violet lights’ ability to kill harmful contaminants in the airstream. They are installed inside HVAC ducts and activated when the ventilation fan switches on, although they are designed to run 24 hours a day. The only maintenance required is replacing the lamp.

Westinghouse Air Purifier Models

• Westinghouse WAP811 Air Purifier with HEPA Filtration is the top line portable unit that covers 800 square feet and retails from $200. It has eight stages including an nano-silver filter, a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter — which prolongs the life of all of the filters — as well as an AV990 anti-bacteria technology feature. It can be run continuously and has a 3-speed fan that automatically adjusts to the pollution intake to assure maximum performance.
• WAP811 Air Purifier with HEPA Filtration covers 650 square feet and has a 3-speed motor that can be manually programmed or set to run continuously. The unit retails from $179.99 and comes with a remote control, a filter-change indicator light and replacement filters that cost around $53.00.
• WAP611 is the smallest unit and covers a room up to 170 square feet. The six-stage filtration system removes 99.9% were broad spectrum of dust, odors and carcinogens from a small space. It retails for $69.99 and replacement filters cost around $23.00.
• The In-Duct Air Purifier comes in 110V and 120V models they can be hardwired or plugged into a socket. The UV lights come in either 24V or 120V 15 inch lamps. One model features an LED screen with an indicator for lamp strength and life. It can be installed in addition to the Dual Air Cleaning System or as a stand-alone indoor air purification solution since it removes 80% of the airstream contaminants. Replacement bulbs are often included or cost $30.00 each retail.
• Westinghouse’s Dual Air Cleaning system is included in many Westinghouse HVAC units or can be purchased separately to retrofit on existing units. The basic system consists of a HEPA and an electrostatic filter that can be installed without need for extensive renovation or remodeling. Contact your local HVAC dealer for estimates.
