IQAir GC MultiGas Review

The IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier is manufactured by IQAir, and they’re one of the top leaders in the air purifier industry.

This company has been in business for more than 50 years, so they a lot about building the highest quality air purifiers.

IQAir’s mission is to offer the best air purifiers available that work hard to keep the air in your home, office, or apartment clean and pure.

And the IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier is no exception.

This is one of the best units offered by the IQAir brand—and in many ways, one of the best units on the market.

What makes the IQAir GC MultiGas so good is that it combines HyperHEPA particle filtration with powerful gas and odor filtration.

IQAir GC MultiGas Room Size Coverage

The IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier is a top-of-the-line air purifier, and as such, it has the ability to clean the air in large rooms up to 1,125 square feet in size.

With such large coverage, this unit is good for areas such as:

• Open concept homes
• Apartments
• Combination living rooms/dining rooms
• Large living rooms
• Master bedrooms
• Basements
• Office spaces
• Workshops and garages

Here's how other IQAir purifiers we've reviewed compare:

• IQAir HealthPro Plus = 1,125 sq. ft.
• IQAir HealthPro Compact = 1,240 sq. ft.
• IQAir GC MultiGas = 1,125 sq. ft.
• IQAir Atem = 50-80 sq. ft.

IQAir GC MultiGas ACH Rating

If you’re going to be adding any type of air purifier to your home, you want to know how effective it is at removing harmful particles from the air.

Having thick air filters is one thing, but how fast are those filters at cleaning the air?

That’s where the Air Changes Per Hour or ACH rating comes in.

The ACH rating on an air purifier reveals how many times in one hour the unit cleans the entire volume of air in a room.

The IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier has a 2x ACH rating for rooms up to 1,125 square feet.

This means that this air purifier can clean the air two times each hour or every 30 minutes.

You can increase the ACH rating for the IQAir GC MultiGas even further by using it in a smaller room size.

For example, if you use the IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier in a room that’s half the size the unit is rated for (560 square feet), the ACH rating raises to 4X ACH–cleaning the air every 15 minutes or four times per hour.

IQAir GC MultiGas CADR Rating

Another factor that determines if an air purifier is effective is the unit’s ability to remove common pollutants from the air, including smoke, pollen, and dust.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) conducts private tests of this sort.

If a brand chooses to have its product tested, they’ll come away with a third-party approved Clean Air Delivery Rating (CADR). However, not all air purifier brands choose to pay for this CADR test.

At this time, the IQAir GC MultiGas is not a CADR air purifier.

IQAir GC MultiGas Design and Size

On the outside, the IQAir GC MultiGas is designed much like the other models offered by this brand.

It has a rectangular shape with a curved bottom for air intake.

The air is then pushed through the filtration system and released from vents at the top.

It’s one of the largest units offered by IQAir and has these exact dimensions and weight:

• Width: 15″
• Height: 28″
• Weight: 44 lbs.

As you can see it’s a heavy unit that’s not meant to be moved once you place it in a room.

However, you do have the option of adding caster wheels to the unit to make it easier to move from one place to another or position perfectly in your home, office, or apartment.

Who is the IQAir GC MultiGas Air Purifier for?

As you’ve discovered in this review, the IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier is one of the most powerful units for removing harmful chemicals and odors from the air, in addition to common airborne pollutants like dust, allergens, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria.

That level of air filtration makes it a good choice for practically any person’s needs.

However, there are some people who would benefit even more out of the IQAir GC MultiGas air purifier, and those include:

• Anyone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS).
• People who smoke or living with a smoker (for tobacco smoke and odor).
• Allergy and asthma sufferers
• Pet owners
• Chefs or anyone who likes to cook in the home (for smoke and cooking odors).
• Businesses that use office equipment like printers and copiers (for volatile organic compounds).
• Painters, contractors, and renovating specialists.

IQAir GC MultiGas Warranty Information

Like other air purifiers from this brand, this unit has a 1-year warranty, but it can be extended to 10 years by registering the product after purchase.
