Electrostatic Air Filters Outshine Disposable AC Filters

Did you know that for many of the most common complaints about air conditioner inefficiency the problem is caused by a dirty, clogged filter? It's easy to forget to change filters regularly, particularly if it involves a trip to the store for a replacement. But keeping a clean, fresh filter in your AC system is one of the best ways to keep it running efficiently.

How Electrostatic Air Conditioner Filters Work

Electrostatic air filters for AC systems are designed so that when air passes through them, they create static charges. Different layers of filtration material receive opposite charges. Positively charge particles stick to negatively charged filtration material and vice versa. The result is that airborne particles stick to the filtration material until the filter is cleaned. It's one of the best ways to remove dust and other allergens from the air.

Disposable AC Filters and the Environment

Heating and air conditioning manufacturers recommend replacing your air filter every one to three months, depending on factors like whether you have indoor pets, how many people live in the house, and whether anyone smokes. Disposable air filters end up in landfills, and the fiberglass that most of them are made of is not biodegradable. Permanent filters, however, are rinsed and reused for the lifetime of the air conditioning system.

Permanent Filters and Allergen Removal

Permanent electrostatic filters for heating and air conditioning systems are superior at allergen removal and they do not impede air flow in your system as long as they are cleaned regularly. Many self-contained air cleaners use electrostatic filtration to clean allergy causing particles from the air, and permanent air conditioner filters for your heating and air conditioning system work the same way. The result is cleaner air and an efficient AC system.

Keep Your AC System Running Efficiently

A clean air filter is the key to keeping your air conditioning system running efficiently, and with washable, reusable filters, you do not have buy replacements. Just take out the filter regularly and hose it off outside or in your shower and allow it to drip dry before replacing. It's easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
