EnviroQuest PCO Ozone Ionization Air Purifiers Review and Numbers Breakdown

EnviroQuest International is an air purifier company based in Traverse City, Michigan. EnviroQuest offers a variety of active purification systems. These systems use ionization, ozone, photocatalytic oxidation, and electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) in various combinations to clean the air. These purifiers cost between 5.1 and 61 cents per square foot of clean air per year. Most of these systems cost less than 10 cents per square foot of clean air per year. These systems cover between 150 and 3,500 square feet. They cost between $910.40 and $2,346.40 to use for 10 years.

These systems are designed to compete with top-tier active purification systems by providing well-priced alternatives that perform well. Active purification systems are great because they don’t use filters and have few replacement parts. They require monthly cleaning as they can form crusts with air pollution. These systems are more comprehensive in their approach to cleaning the air than strict filtration systems. They address air pollution by particles, odors, gases and, in some cases, biological agents. However, they are much less efficient at removing particles from the air than a HEPA filtration system.

These purifiers are backed by a 3-year warranty, which is the standard quality guarantee for most top-tier active purification systems. These types of systems, when properly cared for, can last a long time. However, their longevity varies with the level of toxic contamination they have to clean up on a daily basis. It is wise to expect to replace these systems every 5 years.

EnviroQuest systems are excellent complete active systems and are a great alternative to some of the big name brands. Some of the concerns with these units is the lack of evidence on particulate removal efficiency and doubts about the effectiveness of PCO technology.

In our opinion, the Fresh Air LA-3500 v.2.0 is the best all-round EnviroQuest air filter because it is the most comprehensive and offers good value for money. The MRSP for this air purifier is $897.00, which makes it a little higher in price than some of its competitors. When costs are broken down over 10 years, the cost difference appears to be minimal. These can be great alternatives to some of the name brand purifiers, but do your research to make sure you get the best deal for your needs.
