Whole-Home Air Purifier Installation in Metro Vancouver
Whole-home air purifiers and UV systems remove fine particles, allergens, odours and microbes from the air your family breathes - through every season.

⚡ Quick answer
A whole-home air purifier integrates with your HVAC system to clean the air in every room - capturing fine particles, allergens and smoke, and (with UV systems) neutralizing microbes and odours. For households with allergies, asthma or smoke sensitivity, it is a real upgrade over a basic filter. CANRO recommends and installs the right system. Call (604) 359-1081.

A basic furnace filter protects the equipment and catches larger dust. A whole-home air purifier goes further - capturing the fine particles that affect health (including wildfire smoke), and, in UV and advanced systems, neutralizing bacteria, viruses, mould spores and odours as the air circulates. Because it works through your ductwork, it treats the whole house, not one room.

- Households with allergies or asthma
- Anyone sensitive to wildfire smoke during our summers
- Homes with pets and the dander and odours that come with them
- Families wanting an extra layer of protection during cold and flu season
- Damp homes where mould spores are a concern

Frequently asked questions
Does a whole-home air purifier help with wildfire smoke?+
Yes - with a high-efficiency media or electronic air cleaner running on your HVAC system, it captures much of the fine smoke particulate that a basic filter misses, so closing the windows and running the system keeps indoor air far cleaner during smoke season.
What is a UV air purifier?+
A UV germicidal system uses ultraviolet light in the ductwork or at the coil to neutralize bacteria, viruses and mould spores, and to keep the coil clean. It is often paired with good filtration for households wanting extra protection.
Is a whole-home purifier better than a portable one?+
For whole-house coverage, yes - it treats the air in every room as it circulates, with no units to move around. Portable purifiers can supplement a single room but cannot match whole-home coverage.
Will it work with my current furnace or heat pump?+
Usually yes - whole-home purifiers and UV systems integrate with most ducted systems. We assess your setup and recommend what fits.
