Why should I invest in a high efficiency air filter?
Particulate matter consists of dust, dirt particles, ash, tobacco
smoke, and pollen. This is why we all have air filters as part
of our central system, to filter out particulate matter. Just
how effective is a standard throw-away fiberglass furnace filter?
Not very. Practically speaking, these filters only protect the
blower compartment form large dust particles, or "bulk
dust," that can clog the equipment.
Media filters (made from paper or "fabric"), also
called pleated filters, appear solid but actually have plenty
of tiny spaces for air to pass right through. Larger particles
are strained out the air and smaller particles get jostled around
enough that they collide and stick to the fibers. |

Electronic air cleaners (like the Space-Gard) using the principle
that "opposites attract," charge the particle in the
first stage and collect the charged particle in the second stage.
Only the very smallest particles can get through these types
of high efficiency central system filters.

When should I change my air filters?
Standard disposable air filters should be checked monthly for
replacement. Space-Gard air filters will last about six months
to one year. This will depend on the air that is being filtered.
Electronic air cleaners should be cleaned monthly for maximum
efficiency. And remember, air filtration will only take place
while the fan is on. |
