What is an air purifier?

An air purifier is a device designed to remove contaminants from indoor air, improving air quality and promoting a healthier living environment. These devices use various filtration technologies to capture dust, pollen, smoke, and other airborne particles.

Some models come with additional features, such as purifiers with humidifier functions, which filter the air while also adding moisture, useful in dry climates or for respiratory issues. By trapping pollutants effectively, air purifiers help reduce allergy symptoms, asthma triggers, and overall indoor air pollution.


You can get a new air purifier without exhausting your savings by using Bajaj Finance's financing options. Visit any of the 1.5 lakh partner stores — including Vijay Sales, Croma, and Reliance Digital — across 4,000 cities in India, including Tier 2 cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal. Choose your preferred air purifier model, and use either the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan of up to Rs. 5 lakh to make your purchase. Convert the cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget, and enjoy zero down payment on select models, taking your air purifier home without any upfront payment.

What does air purifier energy consumption cost in India?

When choosing an air purifier, understanding its energy consumption matters for managing monthly costs. Here is a comparison of energy costs for popular room air purifiers in India.


BrandModelPower consumption (W)Approx. monthly cost (Rs.)
PhilipsAC1215/205074
XiaomiMi Air Purifier 33857
DysonPure Cool Link4059
HoneywellAir Touch i84567
LGPuriCare Mini3044

The above values are approximate and based on average electricity rates in India. The monthly cost may vary depending on usage and local electricity tariffs.


You can also explore a range of room air purifiers that offer a variety of features to suit different needs.

How much electricity does an air purifier use by room size?

Understanding how much electricity an air purifier consumes helps you choose the right model for your room size. Here is a breakdown based on typical room sizes and power consumption.



Room sizePower consumptionEstimated monthly cost (Rs.)
Small room (10x10 feet)Approximately 30–40 wattsRs. 45–60
Medium room (15x15 feet)Approximately 40–50 wattsRs. 60–80
Large room (20x20 feet)Approximately 50–60 wattsRs. 75–90
Extra-large room (25x25 feet)Approximately 60–70 wattsRs. 90–105

These estimates are based on average electricity rates and continuous, 24-hour operation. For optimal energy efficiency, it is essential to choose the best air purifier that matches your room size and air quality needs.


While a larger, more powerful air purifier covers a bigger room more effectively, it also draws more power and costs more to run monthly than a smaller unit. If you only need to cover a single small room, an oversized purifier adds unnecessary running costs without a real benefit.

What are some pro tips for using an air purifier to save energy?

A few simple habits can meaningfully reduce your air purifier's running cost over time. Here is what to keep in mind.

  • Use auto mode: Many air purifiers adjust fan speed based on air quality, using less power when the air is already clean.
  • Maintain filters regularly: Clogged filters make the purifier work harder, consuming more energy. Clean or replace filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Choose optimal placement: Place the air purifier in a central location away from obstructions to improve efficiency.
  • Set a timer: Use the timer function to run the purifier only when needed, reducing unnecessary energy use.
  • Choose energy-efficient models: Opt for a portable air purifier with a high energy star rating or low power consumption.

By following these tips, you can improve your air purifier's efficiency while saving on electricity costs.

How much electricity does an air purifier consume?

An air purifier typically consumes between 30 to 70 watts, depending on its size and features. For continuous operation, this translates to an approximate monthly cost of Rs. 44 to 105, based on average electricity rates in India. Energy-efficient models and usage patterns can significantly impact overall electricity consumption.

Running an air purifier typically does not cause a significant increase in electricity bills. Most models consume between 30-70 watts, resulting in a modest monthly cost. However, the exact impact depends on the purifier's power usage, room size, and how often it operates. Choosing an energy-efficient model can help keep costs low.

The electricity consumption of an air purifier is influenced by factors such as the device’s power rating, the size of the room, the purifier’s operating mode, and the frequency of filter maintenance. Higher power ratings and continuous operation in larger spaces typically result in greater electricity usage. Efficient models and proper maintenance can help reduce consumption.

Considering electricity consumption when buying an air purifier is crucial to managing ongoing costs and ensuring energy efficiency. A more energy-efficient model reduces your monthly electricity bill and has a smaller environmental footprint. Evaluating energy usage helps you select a purifier that balances performance with cost-effectiveness, making it a more economical and eco-friendly choice.
