Electronic Air Filters

In recent years, there have been many new products on the market that are designed to clean the air inside your air. One of the most advertised, and therefore most well-known, is the electronic air filter. Electronic air filters work by placing an electric charge on polluting particles that come into the unit. The charged particles then are attracted to a plate inside the electronic air filter, and stick there.

Electronic air filters are popular in part because there are no replacement filters to buy, which is good not only for saving money, but for the environment as well. You simply follow the directions in your owner's manual on how to clean an electronic air filter. Many can be wiped clean with a cloth or put in the dishwasher. Some models, such as the Honeywell electronic air filters, even have a built-in reminder system to let you know when it's time to clean the unit. Although replacement filters are not required on a regular basis, they may be available for purchase if your filter should become damaged. For example, Honeywell electronic air cleaner filters and Kenmore electric replacement air filters are available separate from the electronic air filter unit. This availability can save you a lot of money, since you won't have to purchase a whole new system if your filter becomes damaged.

There are many different brands of electronic air filters available. One good brand is the Trion electronic air filter. Trion has manufactured indoor air cleaning equipment since 1947, and features units that capture particles as small as .01 microns. Trion even supplies the US Navy with air cleaning equipment.

If you are looking for an electronic air filter to attach to your central heating and cooling unit, two good brands to research are the Aprilaire electronic filter and the Goodman electronic air filter. Both will improve the efficiency of your central heating and cooling system. Product specifications for both brands can be found online, so you can compare and purchase the unit best suited for your home's needs.

The use of electronic air filters is a good way to improve your home's indoor air quality. As with any product you would buy for your home, it is important to comparison shop. This way, you can find the unit that will work best to improve your air and your family's health, as well as your budget. Spending a little extra money now may result in a much better electronic air filter that can benefit you and your family for years to come.
