ENERGY STAR® Qualified Room Air Cleaners
A typical room air cleaner or purifier, operating continuously, uses approximately 50% more electricity than the power used by a new refrigerator!
When purchasing a room air cleaner, look for an ENERGY STAR qualified model. ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners can save hundreds of dollars over the course of their lifecycle, depending on the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of the model selected. ENERGY STAR specification for room air cleaners measures energy efficiency by using a CADR/Watt ratio. CADR is a measure of the amount of contaminant-free air delivered by the room air cleaner.
