A Home Owners Guide To Selecting Furnace Filters
Pollution is a problem for many people. You may be surprised to learn that the air you breathe while inside your house may be many times more polluted than the air outside. This is essentially because of dust and other contaminants in the air you breathe inside. Fortunately , you can use a furnace filter to help rid your house of many of these allergens so that you can begin breathing much cleaner air. This article will give you a short overview some of the different kinds of air conditioner filters you can choose from.
Electrostatic
Electrostatic air filters help remove dust and other contaminants from the air without limiting air movement thru your HVAC system. This will permit your system to work better to either cool or heat your home. Electrostatic air filters allergens and many other particles by utilizing a static charge. This static charge removes the contaminants, permitting unpolluted air to circulate throughout your home.
Media
Used most frequently by companies that must change their filters often, media air filters have a larger dust loading ability than the other filters mentioned here. However, while this type of filter can efficiently remove large particles from the air, they are less efficient at removing smaller particles.
Pleated
Pleated air filters are considered to be one of the most effective filter designs. If not for the pleated design this filter would be useless. The pleated design increases the surface area and lengthens the filters useful lifespan. They can collect most pollutants from the air while their construction permits your heating system to operate efficiently.
HEPA
To qualify as a HEPA filter, a filter must be capable of removing 99.97% of all pollutants 0.3 microns or larger. This includes mold spores and dust particles. Designed with an efficient pleat construction, these air filters are most often used in controlled environments. These filters are useful for folks who suffer from allergies or asthmatic symptoms.
Activated Carbon
Active carbon filters are highly-effective for removing odors from your home. Once allowed entry to your home, smoke, gases, chemicals and other odours can permeate a household and be difficult to remove. This is often both upsetting to those living in the home and even harmful to those with severe asthma. An activated carbon filter uses a system of small pores. Highly-absorbent, these pores attract particles by forming a chemical bond with the pollutants in the air.
Advantages Of Using Air Filters
There are a few reasons why you should think about using an efficient air filter. First, you want to breathe unpolluted air while within your home. Second, a good air HVAC filter will allow your heating system to operate efficiently, saving you money on energy bills and making you more comfortable at the same time. Third, a good air filter can remove contaminants from the air you breathe. Inhaling these contaminants over a substantial period of time is not healthy.
