In this phase of globally spread COVID pandemic, while the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been repeatedly instructing people to stay at home for their safety, the need for maintaining most hygienic indoor environment has grown in a never-seen-before way. Thus, the ventilation product vendors are now all set to roll out the best of best apparatus for indoor air quality control. Naturally, every second day yet another new product is being launched, but in this race, the question is, which apparatus does truly satisfy the need of the digital age in the most economical way? Of course, we have to wait for the answer to come through users’ experience and it’s the time to gather knowledge of new arrivals in the market. Let us now see what Carrier has recently done to address the growing need.
Carrier, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, the leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions, has recently launched its new Wi-Fi-enabled smart air purifier, a simple, cost-effective way to improve the quality of indoor air in almost any room of a home or apartment – and the newest offering in Carrier’s Healthy Homes Program.

Innovation is in our DNA and we’ll continue developing products that will meet the demand of our customers.” – Justin Keppy, President, NA Residential & Light Commercial, Carrier
Filtration technique
The new smart air purifier combines three different filtration technologies to create healthier indoor air. First, a pre-filter removes large airborne particles like dust, dirt and pet dander. Then, an advanced High-Efficiency Particulate Absorbing (HEPA) filter captures 99.97% of particles size 0.3 microns, such as pollen, smoke and other allergens. Finally, an activated carbon filter removes odours in spaces up to 550 square feet (XL size).
Auto mode
On Smart Auto Mode, the smart air purifier automatically adjusts between 18 fan speeds based on the air quality level in the room – delivering cleaner air more efficiently. Ideal for bedrooms, family rooms, playrooms, home offices or any other area of the home needing cleaner air, the smart air purifier has been independently tested and certified by the (US) Association of Home Appliance Manufactures (AHAM) to have a high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR).
Display
The Carrier Home app displays indoor concentration levels of particulate matter down to 2.5 micrometers, which are fine particles that are 30 times smaller than the human hair. In addition, consumers can also monitor their levels of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) and control the fan speed of their Carrier smart air purifier. The app also monitors filter life and can direct users to CarrierAtHome.com when it’s time to purchase a replacement filter. In addition, the Carrier smart air purifier is compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant-enabled devices for voice control.
