Does An Electrostatic Filter Make Your AC or Furnace Work Harder?

Electrostatic filters will remove smaller particles of dust and pollen than most disposable filters, but they need to be washed and air dried on a monthly basis. They tend to restrict the air flow which slows the air circulation in your home.  This will cause your AC or furnace to run longer to reach its desired temperature.  This is not a filter that we would recommend.  It is always best to have the air in your home circulating and filtering the air so you get the cleanest, dust free air for you and your family.  With a good disposable filter it will ensure good air circulation so your HVAC system does not have to work so hard to reach its desired
temperature. This is one of the best ways to save you money on your electric bill.

Can I Wash or Vacuum My AC or Furnace Filter?

Many people try to wash or vacuum their furnace filters to extend the life. Washing your furnace filter is generally a bad idea. Many filtering materials do not hold up well when wet. Washing your furnace filter significantly increases the risk for mold or microbiological growth on the filter itself (which will release those mold spores into the air that is circulating throughout your home).  Also, you can never get the filter clean enough, which puts a strain on your unit and restricts your air flow so your furnace has to run a lot longer to reach the desired temperature.

Vacuuming your furnace filter is a healthier alternative to washing your furnace filter, but is still not recommended. Although you may slightly prolong the life of your furnace filter, you will probably make a mess doing it, and a vacuumed filter will release a lot of
dust and particles into the ductwork when you first re-install it. Additionally, most furnace filters are made from a delicate filtering material and are prone to ripping or tearing, which will render the filter useless.

What If I Forget To Change My AC or Furnace Filter or Don't Change It At All?

There is more than one problem that can arise from not regularly changing your a/c filter. These problems can be broken down into three major categories: Mechanical, Energy Consumption and Health.

Energy Consumption: The harder your AC or Furnace system works, the more energy it will consume. The more energy it consumes, the higher your electric bills. Changing your filters on a regular basis can save you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars each year.

Mechanical: A dirty air filter of any type may result in extensive damage to the fan blower motor or compressor in your AC or furnace. Dirt and grime accumulate on crucial moving parts causing them to fail much quicker than expected. This can be very costly and sometimes leads to a total system replacement. At the very least, your system life expectancy will be reduced significantly.

Health: Most importantly, if you do not change your air filters on a regular basis, it can cause potential health problems for your family. Consider these facts from the EPA:
* Each person inhales over 3,500 gallons of air each day. Children inhale more particles for their size than adolescents or adults
* Polluted air causes 94% of all respiratory problems
* An estimated 10-15% of the entire population may be allergic to cat or dog dander
* More than 31 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma, about 1/3 are children under 18
* About 40,000 dust mites, a common household allergen, can live in one ounce of dust
* A person sheds up to 700,000 skin flakes per day
* Your air conditioner filter is the primary defense to reduce and hold these health issues at bay. A quality home air filter changed on a regular basis is a small investment for your family's health.

A/C Filters 4 Less Aims To Spread Awareness About Indoor Air Pollution

A/C Filters 4 Less Aims To Spread Awareness About Indoor Air Pollution

A/C Filters 4 Less Aims To Spread Awareness About Indoor Air Pollution

(Online PR News) March 15, 2011 - A/C Filters 4 Less is on a mission to spread awareness to consumers about indoor air pollution.

According to Aerias Air Quality Sciences, indoor pollutant levels can be two to five times higher and occasionally 100 times more polluted than outside. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranked indoor air pollution as the one of top five environmental threats to public health and one of the largest remaining health risks in the United States. The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology stated that 50% of all illnesses are either caused or irritated by poor indoor air quality.  In the U.S, an estimated 20.3 million American have asthma, including 6.3 million children. Deaths from asthma have reached more than 180,000 annually and the number of people with asthma has increased by more than 60% since 1980. These numbers are alarmingly high and rising.

“The average household and office can seriously benefit their health by maintaining clean a/c or furnace filters or upgrading to a better quality filter. This is especially important to any person with allergies or a lowered immune system. We strive to help each of our customers find the best a/c filter or furnace filter for their home or office.”, noted Mark Platt, owner of A/C Filters 4 Less. 

With an extremely long winter this year, most of the U.S. has spent the last 5-6 months only indoors keeping warm. Home and office buildings are now built so air tight that any indoor air pollutants are trapped inside, not to mention the chemicals used in many building products these days. Results have shown that one in five schools and 60% of hospitality facilities in the U.S has unsatisfactory indoor air quality. “By changing a/c filters and furnace filters on a regular basis and/or upgrading to a better quality filter, these numbers can change and our families can be healthier.”, states Platt.

What is the Difference in Types of A/C & Furnace Filters?

The first thing you need to know is the condition of your AC unit or Furnace. If your coil is already dirty, you should buy a low MERV rating filter to give you more air flow, such as our EZ Flow filters.  If your AC or Furnace is less than 3-4 years old, or you have been changing your filters on a regular basis, then you can buy a better quality filter such as a MERV 8 pleated filter or our permanent frame and media filter pads. If you use a washable filter, in most cases, it never gets dirty because the dirt and debris can pass right through the filter, which causes your coil to get dirty or even clogged. When you wash this filter and if you put it back in your unit wet, it will produce moisture which can cause other problems. We do not recommend this type of filter.

What If My AC or Furnace Stops Working?

If you don't know the last time you changed your AC or Furnace filter, then there is a good chance your unit will be frozen. The best thing to do, in this situation, is to turn your thermostat to fan, in the on position - not auto, and make sure the cool or heat is
set in the off position.  Leave your AC or Furnace off for about 2-1/2 - 3 Hours. Make sure you put some towels under your unit to absorb the excess water.  Then replace your AC or Furnace filter and turn your unit back on to your desired temperature.If your unit continues to leak, or not cool or heat, we recommend you call a licensed professional.
