the air purifier advice please 🙏

hello!!!!! yes, i will info dump some of the things i come across at work everyday, hopefully it helps!

Quick overview on how air purifiers work: ok so purifiers don't "kill" bacteria/particles which is a lot of the marketing you'll see, air purifiers take in air, filter out particles, and push out clean air back into your home so you don't breathe in the dangerous particles: it's all about airflow (created with a strong motor) and filter type

ONLY trust HEPA and activated carbon filters. every other "technology" out there is not sound, there's no definitive research that proves the effectiveness of any other tech on the market. at best it's ineffective, at worst it's dangerous, i wouldn't trust any of it. some common types of technologies to avoid: ozone generators, ionizers, uv light, when a company has their own "patented tech" that isn't HEPA or carbon

HEPA: this targets airborne particles. dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, smoke particles

ACTIVATED CARBON: this targets gasses, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), odors, smoke odors

Try to find a purifier that's going to cover a lot of your home or at least an entire room - they're portable so I suggest moving them around during the day if you can and bringing them into your bedroom at night.

Finding a purifier that covers your home/room: suggested air changes per hour (ACH) is 4.8 - many companies will list 1 ACH for their square foot coverage to make it seem like it can cover a lot, and it's just not true. Companies SHOULD be sharing their clean air delivery rate (CADR) information that is connected to ENERGY STAR and is tested by the regulatory agency so they cannot fudge their numbers, if they don't share this information it's a red flag

Check CADR and square foot coverage at 4.8 ACH for a product HERE

For example: an air purifier that can clean 1,000 sq ft in 60 minutes with 1 ACH, can clean 500 sq ft in 30 minutes with 2 ACH, and 80 sq ft in 12.5 minutes with 4.8 ACH (it's confusing, i know, but it's important to have a purifier(s) strong enough to clean your indoor space)

Air quality sensors built into purifiers are cheap, i don't trust them to accurately portray your indoor air quality readings, also the apps are...awful: the markets been flooded with smart purifiers it's tough to find one that DOESN'T have an app attached to it. there's nothing wrong with a smart purifier, its up to the user, but its that they can up the price with the add-ons that don't help the main goal of your purifier: clean your indoor air and create healthy indoor air quality in your home

Cross ventilation helps, open those windows!!! air out your home!!! but don't open them on high pollen count or bad air quality days or if you're located near high pollution or close to an active wildfire or smoke. you can check US location air quality HERE ALSO, don't run your air purifiers while you have the windows open. they'll try to clean the outside airflow too, rendering it pretty ineffective.

Look for certifications!!! ENERGY STAR, AHAM, CARB, INTERTEK - these are independent safety and performance certifications that companies have to go through a testing process to receive them, it's not just marketing these are regulations and are standard - if a company doesn't share these results or aren't certified MAJOR red flag

Run those purifiers 24/7!!!!! If they're ENERGY STAR certified (they should be, look for the logo!!) it shouldn't affect your energy bill in a significant way

Just because a purifier costs more doesn't mean it performs better!! just focus on the air cleaning ability: the thing a purifier IS MEANT TO DO: and try to forget about the rest

Unfortunately, a good purifier is always going to be a bit of an investment. the mini purifiers out there and the wearable ones just do not do anything, i wish they did, but filters need surface area to be effective, they're too small, and the motor isn't efficient.

Good news is there should be some very good sales coming up in november!!!! stay safe!!

Green Thumb Trinkey springs into existence 🌱💧🌞

With recent work to improve our soil moisture sensing, it could be a nice time to design an 'all-in-one' board for plant and garden hacking. This board has a USB C, so you can plug it right into your computer and read the capacitance of the soil, as well as the ambient light level and temperature + humidity of the onboard AHT20. A QT sensor and 'standard Stemma QT' mounting holes mean you can plug in a VOC, CO2, UV, or PM.2 sensor. The SAMD21E18 can run Arduino or CircuitPython, but we'll also ship it with an example that just spits out CSV data over the serial port for instant interfacing. Coming soon.

High-Gloss and Matte Finishes: High-gloss finishes, such as lacquered or acrylic surfaces, are making a comeback in luxury kitchen designs. These finishes give cabinets a sleek, modern appearance and reflect light beautifully, making the kitchen feel brighter and more spacious. On the other hand, matte finishes are preferred for their understated elegance, offering a more refined and calm look.

Metal Accents and Hardware: Adding metal accents to kitchen cabinetry has become a major trend in 2025. Brass, copper, and matte black finishes are used for handles, knobs, and trim to create a stylish contrast against wood or lacquered surfaces. These metal elements provide an elegant, industrial touch that’s ideal for contemporary and transitional kitchen designs.

Stone and Marble Inlays: For the ultimate luxury, some high-end kitchen cabinets are incorporating stone or marble inlays. These high-end materials are used in cabinet fronts or backsplashes, adding a layer of opulence and texture to the kitchen’s design. A marble inlay on a wooden cabinet front can create a visually striking contrast that elevates the overall aesthetic.

Using high-quality finishes and materials ensures that high-end kitchen cabinets not only look stunning but also last longer, providing durability and value for years to come.

Customizable and Modular Cabinet Systems In 2025, homeowners are increasingly turning to customizable and modular kitchen cabinets to meet their specific needs and preferences. These systems offer greater flexibility in design and allow for more tailored solutions to fit the individual style of the kitchen.

Modular Cabinets: Modular cabinet systems, where individual pieces can be arranged in a variety of configurations, are becoming more common in luxury kitchen designs. This flexibility allows homeowners to create unique layouts that work with their space and maximize storage. Modular systems are especially ideal for those with large or unconventional kitchen layouts who want a solution that adapts to their needs.

Personalized Storage Solutions: Customizable features, such as adjustable shelving, pull-out trays, and drawer dividers, are being integrated into high-end kitchen cabinets. These personalized storage options help homeowners organize their kitchens in a way that suits their lifestyle, making it easier to store pots, pans, spices, or even small appliances.

Color and Material Customization: In 2025, high-end kitchen cabinetry is not only customizable in terms of size and functionality but also in the aesthetic choices available. Homeowners can now choose from an extensive range of colors, wood types, and finishes to ensure that their cabinets complement their overall design vision.

The rise of customizable and modular systems allows for a more personalized and efficient kitchen design, giving homeowners the ability to create the kitchen of their dreams.

Conclusion The trends in high-end kitchen cabinets for 2025 reflect a blend of cutting-edge technology, sustainable materials, and luxury finishes that cater to modern homeowners' needs for both style and functionality. Whether you are looking for eco-friendly materials, minimalist designs, or smart technology integration, the latest trends in custom cabinetry offer a wide range of options to elevate your kitchen’s design. Investing in high-end kitchen cabinets not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but also provides long-term value and convenience.

Additionally, install dimmer switches or motion sensors in rooms where lights are frequently left on. For added energy savings, consider incorporating natural light through larger windows or skylights, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

5. Opt for Energy-Efficient Appliances

When remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, consider upgrading to energy-efficient appliances. Look for appliances that are Energy Star-rated, which indicates that they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). From refrigerators and dishwashers to washing machines and dryers, energy-efficient appliances consume less electricity and water, making them a smart investment for your remodel.

6. Incorporate Smart Home Technologies

Smart home technologies can take your home’s energy efficiency to the next level. Smart thermostats, lighting, and appliances allow you to control energy usage remotely and create customized schedules. During your bathroom remodeling in Walnut Creek or throughout your entire home remodel, consider integrating smart home devices that help monitor and control energy consumption, leading to even greater savings over time.

7. Embrace Sustainable Building Materials

When engaging in new construction in Walnut Creek or remodeling, choose sustainable and energy-efficient building materials. For example, use bamboo or reclaimed wood for flooring, which is not only eco-friendly but also adds aesthetic value to your home. Opt for low-VOC paints and finishes to improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact.

A whole house remodel offers the perfect opportunity to create a more energy-efficient home that reduces your environmental footprint and lowers your utility costs. Whether you’re considering home remodeling in Walnut Creek, bathroom remodeling in Walnut Creek, or new construction in Walnut Creek, incorporating these energy-efficient strategies will provide long-term benefits for both you and the environment.
