Bring the World’s Cleanest Air into Your Home

The Perfect 16 is a breakthrough in whole-house air cleaning. It eliminates dust, allergens, bacteria, and other harmful particles as much as 100 times more effectively than conventional whole-house air cleaners.

 

How It Works

Air enters a return grille (1) in a common area, such as a hallway. Immediately after the return grille, the air is drawn into the Perfect 16 (2) and passes through over 170 sq. ft of pleated micro-filtration media. There, over 95% of all micro-particles are trapped. The purified air then continues to the central air handling unit (3), where it is distributed via multiple ducts (4) to all parts of the home. This process is repeated up to 125 times a day

 

 

 

 

About IQAir

For over 40 years, IQAir has been at the cutting edge of indoor air purification. Started by two German brothers in the the early 60s, we are today an international, Swiss-based industry leader in the field of hygiene air purification. When clean, healthy indoor air is of the essence, IQAir is able to provide air purification solutions which are highly effective and yet affordable.

IQAir's innovative strength stems from our own research and development, manufacturing and marketing for all our products. This, by today's standards rare approach, has led to products which set new standards in performance, style and quality.

IQAir is proud to be the educational partner of the American Lung Association. Together we work on campaigns to educate the public about effective measures to improve indoor air quality.

Superior Purification Technology

90% of all particles are smaller than the HEPA standard's most penetrating particle - .3m. This does not mean better HEPA air purifiers cannot capture smaller particles. But the finer particles may slip around cheaper machines without tight gaskets and sealing.

For example:
- Cat dander and dust mite droppings go down as fine as .1m.
- Smog and cigarette smoke have particles that are as small as 0.01m.
- Viruses can be as small as 0.01m.

When the largest particulates have been removed by average air purifiers, indoor air will appear to have been cleaned. Appearances deceive, as gas toxins and fine particulates we cannot see remain airborne.

Most specialty air purifiers only clean up to 0.1 microns. All IQAir products filter down to 0.003 microns, thus catching even the tiniest smog, tobacco and virus particles.

IQAir builds better air purifiers because it uses superior air cleaning technologies:

* We use only the very best and most effective technologies. These are derived from million-dollar filtration installations used in cleanrooms, airports and hospitals.
* Unlike many of our competitors, we only use technologies, which produce absolutely no undesireable by-products, such as ozone, chemicals or charged particles.
* We only use air cleaning technologies, which are user friendly and low maintencance, since we recognize that popular high-maintenance technologies, such as electronic or ionic air cleaning, annoy owners and quickly become defective.

Trusted by Hospitals

Hospitals around the world rely on IQAir to help protect staff and patients from infectious diseases like tuberculosis and MRSA. When the dreaded disease SARS began to spread in Hong Kong hospitals in 2004, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority tested dozens of air cleaners. They determined that IQAir made the only room air cleaners suitable to be used in the fight against SARS.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Perfect 16 make noise? No. The Perfect 16 is absolutely silent.

Does the Perfect 16 affect the look of my house? No. The system is located out of view in your attic, basement, or garage, depending on where your central forced air system is located.

How long does it take to install the Perfect 16? The Perfect 16 can be installed by a professional heating and ventilation contractor in an average home in less than a day.

How long do the filters last? With average usage, your filters will last 3 years.

Do I need to run my heating or air conditioning for the Perfect 16 to work? No. The Perfect 16 works whenever you run your HVAC fan. You don’t need to run your heating or air conditioning. Simply set your thermostat control to “Fan On”.

Does running the Perfect 16 increase my electric bill? No. The Perfect 16 makes your HVAC system run more efficiently than with a conventional air cleaner. This can lower your electricity bill.

The Most Effective Air Cleaning

The air in an average home contains billions of tiny pollution particles. These are microscopic particles of dust, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses and other airborne irritants that affect our health and comfort. The Perfect 16 powerfully removes these airborne particles so that you breathe the cleanest air possible. The Perfect 16 is so effective that it improves the air quality in most homes by over 90% within just one hour after installation.

 

Advanced Micro-Fiber Filtration Technology

The Perfect 16 is the first whole-house air cleaning system to utilize Advanced Micro-Fiber Filtration TEchnology. The Perfect 16's filter fibers are 10 times thinner than those used in standard air filters. This allows air to easily pass through the fibers, while the ultrafine threads create an almost impenetrable barrier for pollution particles. The result is an air filter that sets a new standard for air cleaning efficiency and airflow.

 

The V2 Difference

Most air filters have a single flat surface that fits squarely in the housing of the system. The Perfect16’s filters are placed in a double “V” shape. The V2 design allows the Perfect 16 to use over 170 square feet of filter media. This is 50 times more filtration material than that of ordinary furnace filters. The additional surface area allows more air to pass through the system. This innovative concept makes a big difference in how much air the Perfect16 can clean.

Many manufacturers make impressive advertising statements about the performance of their air cleaning systems. Unfortunately, these claims often fall far short of their real world performance. This is because their statements are based on theoretical efficiencies – not what their air cleaners can actually achieve in real homes. This is why IQAir has scientifically validated the performance of the Perfect16 in real homes – homes just like yours. Take a look at how the Perfect 16 outperforms other types of whole-house air cleaners.
