Upkeep and maintenance on a lake home can be tough, especially if it’s a second home. With vulnerability to dust, smoke, and other particles in the air, you’ll want a reliable air filtration system to keep your home air circulation clean and fresh. With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose which works best for your lake house. Today, we’re taking a look at some of the best whole house air filters on the market in 2022. We’ll be including both small and large air purifiers, for a variety of lake house types!

We’ll start with the one which covers the smallest amount of space. The Alen BreatheSmart Air Purifier is ideal for homes that are 1100 square feet or less. With a unique HEPA filter, it can capture airborne bacteria and small particles that would otherwise float throughout your home. Extra quiet, this machine comes with a “pink noise” that helps you achieve better sleep. If you live with pets, this one is especially recommended for dust, dander, and pet fur. Plus it helps relieve symptoms of allergies and asthma!

The Medify MA air purifier is great for larger homes of up to 2,500 square feet. The HEPA H13 filtration system offers a powerful cleaning tool for these large spaces. It also offers automatic quality updates so you can be assured that each time you walk into your lake home, you’re achieving the best possible medical-grade filtration. With four fan settings (and the lowest one nearly completely silent), you can customize the speed and efficacy of this air filter to your preferences. It also comes with a child lock that works great for both kids and pets!

Small yet powerful, PureAir3000 Air Purifier cleans the air in spaces up to 3,000 square feet. Its size makes it simple to set up and use, and it doesn’t require frequent air filter replacement. In action, this air filter removes mold and other harmful pollutants, as well as invisible irritants and odors. It’s built to refresh the air even while you’re away, making this a perfect choice for a second home.

If you have an especially large lake house, the Aprilaire 5000 might be for you. According to product reviews, it’s able to filter more than 3,000 square feet of space. This high-tech filtration system can hold up to 400 pounds of air at once. Although it does require being plugged in to an outlet, it’s ultra-quiet, allowing you to hear the sounds of nature, rather than the whirring of an air filter. The best part — it’s great value for your money. If you were to leave this device on all day, every day, it would only cost $70 per year.

The Honeywell 5300 one doesn’t have the same “quiet” pro as the other options. However, its plentiful benefits outweigh this cost. According to its product reviews, it can clean a 4,500 foot home, making this option excellent for large lake homeowners. It contains three steps of filtration – the first step collects larger particles like dander and dust, the second step is the HEPA 13 filter, and the third is electrostatic technology which increases the air purification speed. As a bonus, the Honeywell 5300 has a low electricity cost. Lower than the typical whole-house air filter, it only uses 36 watts of power. 

We hope you find the right whole house air filter for your lake home!
