There are several choices available to upgrade the air filtration throughout your system: electronic, media and electrostatic.

Electronic Air Cleaners

The proper name is actually "electrostatic precipitation" and the process is simple. Large particles are captured by a pre-filter screen. Smaller particles flow through a cell where they are electronically charged and collected by opposite charged plates. The electronic air cleaner is the most effective filter in capturing airborne debris including smoke. This type filter works well with any type of heating/cooling system.

Media Style Filter By far, the most popular filter we offer. It provides excellent filtration and minimum air flow resistance. The media style filter can be installed with almost any type heating/cooling vents with minimal system alteration. The most cost effective, lowest maintenance system available today! The media filter should be replaced on an annual basis to maintain a high level of indoor air quality.

About Air Filtration

Air Purification and Indoor Air Quality

Newer homes are more tightly constructed than ever. Although this means less airborne dust can infiltrate the home from outside, it also means whatever dust, grease, pollen, and mold spores exist within a home are often recirculated over and over again.

These contaminants can cause unnecessary discomfort, health hazards, and deterioration to property. Pollen, and mold spores can make life miserable for people who have respiratory problems, and can harbor harmful bacteria and viruses.

A typical furnace filter only removes 10-15% of these contaminants. An air cleaner can remove up to 75% of airborne particles. Several types of air cleaners are available today, each with their advantages and disadvantages.
