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.
