In my own experience, I have found that my central heating and air conditioning have better filters and air returns. I also have a lanais with a window unit. Three things with the window unit…1) The air filter is useless against stopping particles from entering my home and 2) I can see daylight through it which brings me to 3) It does nothing at all to stop allergens such as ragweed and pollen.

In our old house we have large radiators and window AC units. We've looked at mini splits but indecisive hubby is still deciding. The way I cope with the faulty filtering of the window units is to run 2 air purifiers in the bedroom. Their pre-filters get vacuumed every 2 weeks and 1x year HEPA filter change. Since their installation I notice a lot less dust.

It's been challenging to determine how effective the mini splits are at filtering. And if they might trap things like NTM in a good or bad way. Thus the indecision.
