When it comes to improving the air quality in your home, an electronic air filter is a great option. These filters are designed to capture and remove airborne particles, such as dust, smoke, and pollution, as well as pet dander and mold spores. They also have germicidal capabilities and can reduce germs by filtering viruses and bacteria. In addition, electronic air filters can eliminate odors and help keep your home cleaner and more pleasant.
Electrostatic air filters are particularly effective at providing good air filtration. They use an electrical charge to capture charged dust particles that float around your home, as well as bacteria and viruses, which have charged protein layers. These filters also capture pet dander, pollen, and other particulates. As a result, you won't have to dust your house as often because the filter will absorb the dust. Electronic air filters are also able to remove microscopic impurities from the air.
This includes dust, smoke, and pollution, in addition to pet dander and mold spores. While these particles may seem harmless, they can actually make you and your family sick, especially those with allergies or asthma. When air passes through an electronic air filter device, the prefilter traps many of the larger particles and adds a charge to the smaller particles. These particles are then attracted to a plate where they are collected. This helps reduce asthma attacks and allergy symptoms and keeps your breathing calm during the colder months. If you want to further improve your home's indoor air quality, electrostatic filters are compatible with UV-C air purifiers, whole-house fans, attic fans, and portable air purifiers.
If used and maintained properly, an electronic air filter can trap and filter up to 99% of airborne particulates that pass through the air conditioning system, ensuring that cleaner air is distributed to every room in the house. The MERV (minimum efficiency report value) is a standard that evaluates the overall effectiveness of air filters. It is important to rate the manufacturer's filters and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron. Most normal household pollutants, such as mold, pollen, and pet dander, are all larger and are easily captured and removed with a standard air conditioner air filter. Making a little effort to improve the indoor air quality in your home can help you reduce asthma attacks and allergy symptoms and keep your breathing calm during the colder months. If combined with an annual tune-up of heating and cooling systems, an electrostatic air filter could reduce your utility bills by hundreds of dollars each year.
