Smoke Preparation

Plan a cleaner-air space before smoke arrives. Check existing filters, room size, and manufacturer instructions before shopping.

Choose for the room

Look for mechanical filtration, such as HEPA, and a smoke clean-air delivery rate suited to your room. EPA recommends CARB-certified air cleaners and warns against ozone-producing devices. Check noise and replacement-filter cost, not just an advertised coverage number.

Match replacement filters

Match your air cleaner model exactly. For central heating or cooling, ask the manufacturer or an HVAC professional which filter efficiency the system can support; a tighter filter is not automatically compatible.

Take action without buying

Reduce indoor particle sources such as candles and smoking. Follow local air-quality and evacuation instructions. Filtration reduces particles; it does not make a threatened home safe to remain in. Read the EPA guide before setting up a cleaner-air room.
