Air Purifiers

This morning the sun was shining in just right and I saw a lot of particles floating in the air and now I’m really disturbed about this. I am wondering what is the best way to get cleaner indoor air quality at home? We already have the normal filter that every house has for the air conditioner and heater, but I’m thinking I should have something more and wondering if I should buy an air purifier filter? I see some air filters are HEPA and some are not. Is there a difference? Is one better than the other? I read somewhere that someone bought a home air filter and the room started having a weird smell, is that normal?

Frigidaire 8000 BTU w/ Air Ionizer …

My Air Conditioner (AC) can Ionize Air…
We leave it on 90 right now, during the winter season…?
We Have the Ionizer button allways turned on, what does it do to my Air in this room…?

Electrons, Positive, Negitive…?
Huh…?
I don’t fully understand…

What is Ionized Air, …?
What does it do for the respiratory system..?

Any Advice would be great… thanks…

We recently just moved in to a 2 bedroom appartment and it seems like theres always alot of dust in the rooms. I always open up the window because if i close it, the room would become really hot. Its like summer months now, but still i always clean and wipe my furnitures but somehow alot of dust settles on it. I bought an air purifier yesterday ( honeywell,with the true permanent hepa filter) i can truly feel the difference of the air quality in my room. but iwas wondering if i buy an air conditioner/portable ac for my room, would it be better to get absolutely no dust in my room….because it says that the air purifier would work best if all windows are closed….and if i buy an ac i can do that….please give me any suggestions…thanks. and is there any difference between the window ac’s and portable ac’s.
im planning to buy a portable ac because i dont think i can fix the window ac by myself…and i heard portable ac’s are easier to fix……please let me know…thanks !

I work at home, and I take the home office deduction. I have a separate room that is my regular office space used exclusively as an office, so that is not the question.

I'm just sure if these are particular items I would be able to deduct. I bought a back pillow from the chiropractor for my typing chair, and I need to buy an air filter for this horrible allergy season and an air conditioner for the home offfice. Are these expenses I can deduct since they will only be used in the home office? Do I need to depreciate them?

When depreciating, is there a minimum dollar amount? The back pillow was only 25 bucks. If I don't depreciate it, what category would that be?

Thanks for any information!! I have looked up a lot of info on this but I'm just not sure about these items.
As I said, my home office is my regular place of business. I do everything from here on the computer. That's it.

I think I read somewhere air conditioning is not applicable to Section 179. And I also don't know how the air filter would figure into that or if it's deductible.

My room is 3.5m by 5m and roughly 2.5m in height. My air purifier is roughly the height size of a standard hotel toilet bowl. How long should i switch it on for sleep each night? I sleep in an air-conditioned room where the air-conditioner is turned on at 9pm and i wake up at 6am. My air purifier is one that comes with an ionizer function. I am asking as my air purifier is as noisy as an aircraft carrier and i am hoping to swtich it off after the least time possible for it to carry out its function. Thanks!
Hi, the brand is AMCOR. I have taken apart the machine and cleaned everything possible. There is one general filter that I have replaced with a new general filter. The next layer is the forever filter that need not be cleaned. Running the machine with everything taken apart, I have found out the sound is caused by the running of the motor. The model is outdated so it is not listed on AMCORs site.

I have attached a picture too, http://www.flickr.com/photos/24243779@N00/213520842/
