When we first launched the Qteros.com website in 2009, we did so for one main reason: To give you, the consumer, a better understanding of exactly how air purifiers work and to give you the information you need to help you find the right air purifier for you.
Two years later, we decided that wasn’t enough, so we added a new section to our website. Here, we gave you information on how to use ductless mini-split AC systems, window units and portable air conditioners to better cool your home for maximum comfort.
Now, we’re expanding once more.
Now, we’d like to show you how to better heat your home by using portable space heaters. We’ve adjusted our mission statement to reflect this additional guide:
“The mission of Qtero sis to help people improve the air quality and comfort inside their homes through the use of air purification, air conditioning, and heating systems.”
Air Purification
If you hear the term “air purification technology” and feel absolutely lost, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Many people have a lot of questions when it comes to the right air purifier for their homes.
More importantly, we’re here to help.
The first thing to remember is that there are four (4) different major types of air purifying filters you can buy. These are:
- Carbon
- Ultra Violet
- Ionic
- HEPA
Again, if these words mean nothing to you, that’s okay. That’s why we’re here – to clear up the confusion.
So, in an effort to give you a better understanding of air purifying technology, how it works, why you should use it and how to find the air purifier that’s right for you, we’ve put together this simple, easy-to-understand guide we think will help.
There are three (3) major sections to our guide:
- All About Air Purifiers
- How Air Purifiers Are Beneficial to Your Health
- Air Purifier Reviews
Air Conditioning Systems
There are six (6) main types of air conditioners for your home. These are:
- Package Thermal
- Ductless Mini-Split
- Portable AC
- Through-the-Wall AC
- Window Units
- Central AC
Which one is right for you?
Well, here at Qteros, we think the best possible systems are ductless mini-split systems, portable AC, through-the-wall AC and window units. They give you the most personal temperature control and provide the most comfortable conditions inside your home. These are also the best systems for saving you money.
We created this guide to tell you all about these types of air conditioning systems, how they work, why they end up saving you more money than other options and how to choose the best one for you.

Heating Systems
When it comes to heating your home, there are a ton of different options. In addition to larger systems, such as boilers and whole-house furnace systems, there are also space heaters. There are four (4) main types of space heaters:
- Panel Heaters
- Oil-Filled Radiators
- Propane Heaters
- Infrared Heaters
Air Heating
Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about staying comfortably warm in the cooler months while also saving as much money as possible, and you can buy with confidence knowing we’ve done all the research and education necessary to recommend with authority. That’s what sets us apart from other websites.
If you need to know the how, what and why of anything to do with home air comfort and moderating comfortable home temperatures, we’ve got those answers. We do the work so that we can give you the answers you need to handle your own problems as they arise.
For instance, the mechanics of ceramic heaters and infrared heaters are very different, making only one of them suitable for the coldest nights of the year. Do you know which one? We do! (It’s the ceramic for large rooms, and the infrared for small rooms, in case you’re wondering.)
Interesting Air Facts
- Asthmatics most benefit from using HEPA air purifiers.

- People on the East Coast should not use ventless portable AC units because the humidity is too high.
- People on the West Coast would do well to use ventless AC units because these devices work well in areas with low humidity.
These are the kinds of things you need to know when shopping for these types of devices for your home, and these are the kinds of these things we enjoy teaching you. Please check out all of our guides and benefit from the work we, here at Qteros, have done in compiling the best, most comprehensive guide to home air products there is.
