A Washable Furnace Filter is Always There When You Need It

Unless you have yourself on a set schedule, changing the furnace filter can get put on the back burner or forgotten totally. The problem with this is that whether it’s the middle of the night, a holiday, or when you’re out of town, the furnace filter still needs changing and a dirty one will make your furnace stop working properly. It’s not always convenient to run out to the store and pick up another one and that is why a washable furnace filter is the perfect solution.

With a washable filter, all you have to do when it’s dirty is take it out and wash it. No more running to the store after hours or trying to find a size that isn’t readily available everywhere. These are permanent furnace filters that save you money because you never have to replace them. The frames are non-rusting aluminum and every one comes with a lifetime warranty.

Even better, you can choose from the 3-Stage Air Care Brand or the 5-Stage BoAir Brand and always have the highest amount of filtration. Instead of paying more money at the store for a filter that may or may not provide the dust cessation you need, you have everything you need in a filter that can be reused for a lifetime. In fact, these filters trap ten times the amount of dust that a disposable air filter traps. Each filter is self-charging which creates the electrostatic charge used to trap the allergens and dust that causes allergies and a myriad of health problems.

Washable AC Filter – Prepare for the spring and summer seasons

The winter of 2013/2014 broke many records for low temperatures as well as high temperatures depending on the region of the country you live in. As spring and summer come the temps are sure to rise and that means your air conditioner will once again be called upon to keep your home comfortable. Homeowners should perform maintenance on it before they turn it on to ensure it functions properly and to prevent damage.

During the time your air conditioner is not working there is much that can happen. The outside unit should be inspected to ensure it is free of debris. It is also beneficial that any indoor components are cleaned to remove any dirt, dust and debris buildup. The air filter needs to be inspected to ensure proper air flow which can affect the performance and even result in damage if too clogged.

Homeowners have alternatives to the standard disposable ac filters that become costly throughout the lifetime of the unit. A washable ac filter is an ideal investment that is sure to save money as it will never have to be replaced. Electrostatic filters produced from such manufacturers as BoAir attract particles which are firmly held to the filter. They offer low air resistance as well as much improved filtering over standard filters removing up to 25 times more than standard filters. Homeowners get the benefit of an easy clean filter that just needs to be washed off, dried and then replaced with no purchase of a new filter needed.

How to Install and Maintain an Electrostatic Filter

If you are considering purchasing an electrostatic filter for your furnace, then you are most likely already aware of the many great benefits that purchasing one of these filters can bring you and your family. In case you are unaware, these filters provide many benefits to homeowners including improving the air quality of their home, and saving them money since these filters do not need to be replaced like traditional filters do. However, many people who are aware of these benefits are reluctant to purchase an electrostatic filter for their home, because they believe a permanent filter will be harder to install and clean. This is however not the case since electrostatic filters are extremely easy to install and clean. To prove this, here are instructions for installing and cleaning an electrostatic air filter.

 Installation

The installation process for electrostatic filters is extremely easy since it is done in the same way that you would install a traditional air filter. The air filter should have an arrow at the top. You will want this arrow to point toward your furnace, as this is the direction that the air will be flowing. Once you have determined which way your filter needs to face, simply install it in the same place that your old filter went.  

Cleaning

There is a misconception that permanent electrostatic air filters require more maintenance and are more difficult to clean than other air filters. However, electrostatic air filters only require cleaning once a month, which is the same as a traditional disposable air filter. To clean your air filter, simply vacuum it off to remove dirt and dust. Once every three months however you will need to remove the filter in order to clean it more thoroughly. The process of cleaning this type of filter more thoroughly is still simple. All you have to do is remove the filter and rinse it off with a hose. Makes sure that you hose off the filter in the opposite direction of airflow so that dirt and debris is not pushed further into the filter. Once you have cleaned the filter, allow it to sit for 30 minutes to ensure that it has dried thoroughly before reinstalling it.

 

As you can see, the installation and maintenance of electrostatic air filters is just as simple as that of traditional air filters. However, these filters are much more beneficial since they work more efficiently and they do not need to be replaced. If you have more questions regarding electrostatic air filters, contact us. We will be happy to address any concerns you may have regarding electrostatic filters; we can also help you to pick the right electrostatic air filter for your furnace.

Five Benefits of a Washable AC Filter

If you have a home with central heat and air or manage a building that does, you know how important AC filters are. While AC filters are a necessity, traditional filters can be a hassle. You not only have to find the right size but have to go to the store every time you need to change it out if you don’t have enough on hand. Fortunately, there’s a better solution with a washable AC filter. Here are five benefits of these AC filters:

1. Cost. While traditional AC filters may not cost much to start with, you have to buy them time after time, which can add up. A washable AC filter is permanent so you make one initial investment.  These filters pay for themselves in about 1 year.
2. Convenience. Imagine being able to change the filter without having to see if you have any on hand or having to run to the store to get them. With a washable AC filter, it’s always there when you need it. You simply rinse it out and you’re all set. With the non-rusting aluminum frame, you don’t have to worry about it wearing out either.
3. Green Living. Ever wonder where all of those filters you throw out end up? With an AC filter that is washable,  you’re not adding non-biodegradable products to landfills any longer, which means they’re a sustainable and green product you can feel good about.
4. Health. Allergens and dust are cleared from the air you breathe with a washable filter. While a high-end traditional filter may do the job, a washable filter can be cleaned at any time without having to replace it. Most people don’t change their filters as often as needed simply because it’s inconvenient to buy more. Since this is a permanent filter, you can clean it when it needs cleaning and have a healthier home.
5. Customization. Sometimes finding the right size can be a chore. Since the washable AC filter from Healthy Home Filter Company can be fit to any size in 1/8″ increments, you always have the right size when you need it.

There are many benefits to a washable AC filter and if you’re ready to order or have more questions simply contact us and we’ll be glad to help.
