Because Position Actually Matters
Bought an air purifier to improve your home office air quality? Good move. But where you put it makes a huge difference to how well it works. Stuck in a corner behind your desk chair isn't doing much.
💡 Pro tip: Air purifiers work best when they have space around them to pull air in and push clean air out. Think about air circulation, not just where it fits.
What Makes the Difference
| ✅ Positioned Right | ❌ Common Mistakes |
|---|---|
| 1-2m from desk, clear space around it | Shoved in a corner |
| Away from walls and furniture | Tight against wall, intakes blocked |
| Filter installed correctly | Filter backwards or not seated properly |
| Settings explained and optimized | Running on wrong mode, wasting energy |

🔧 DIY Tips
Setting up your own air purifier? Here's what actually matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Just the purifier and its power cable (maybe a screwdriver for wall-mount models)
📍 Positioning basics
- Distance from walls: At least 30-50cm - the unit needs to pull air in from the sides
- Away from corners: Corner placement restricts air circulation
- Not behind furniture: You'd be amazed how many people put them where they can't actually work
- Height consideration: Floor-standing units are fine on the floor, but keep them away from thick carpets that might block bottom intakes
🔌 Setup steps
- Remove ALL protective films (inside fan housing, on displays, etc.)
- Install filter correctly - there's usually an arrow showing air flow direction
- Plug in and power on
- Let it run for 5 minutes to check for any burning smell (protective coatings burning off is normal initially)
⚠️ Common setup mistakes
- Filter installed backwards (check the arrows!)
- Placed too close to walls or in corners
- Running on max speed all the time (wastes energy and filter life)
- Forgetting to remove protective plastic from the filter
💡 Pro trick: Run it on a higher setting for the first few hours to clean the air, then drop to a lower setting for maintenance. Most modern ones have auto modes that do this for you.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple rooms? If you're setting up purifiers in several rooms (bedroom + office, for example), I can do them all in one visit.
Filter replacement: Most filters last 6-12 months depending on usage. There's usually an indicator light that tells you when. Replacement is simple - I'll show you how.
Old house with dusty air? Exeter's older properties can be particularly dusty. An air purifier makes a real difference, especially if you're working from home all day breathing it in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't setting up an air purifier just plugging it in?
Pretty much, yeah - but positioning makes a huge difference. Too close to a wall and it can't pull air in properly. Too far from where you sit and you don't get the benefit. I position it for best circulation and show you the controls.
Where's the best place to put an air purifier in a home office?
Usually about 1-2 meters from your desk, not tight against a wall. You want it pulling air from the whole room, not just recirculating the air next to one wall. Away from curtains and furniture that block airflow.
Do you supply the purifier or do I buy one?
You buy it - there are loads of options at different price points. If you want advice on what to get for your room size, I'm happy to help. I just set it up and position it properly once it arrives.
Will you show me how to use it?
Yes - I'll run through the controls, show you how to change the filter (when it eventually needs it), and explain the different settings. Most are pretty straightforward but some have more features than others.
Can you mount wall-mounted purifiers?
Yes, if that's the type you've got. Same principle applies - I'll position it for good air circulation and mount it securely. Takes a bit longer than floor-standing models.
