Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need an Electronic Air Cleaner at Home?
Like an air purifier, an electronic air cleaner can relieve asthma and allergy triggers. These units take pet hair, dander, and dust particles within your home out of the air.
How does an Electronic Air Cleaner filter Indoor Air?
As air moves through the network of your heating and cooling system, the electronic air cleaner captures particles (dust, grime, pet hair, etc.) within a prefilter. From there, electrically powered filters draw in and snare smaller fragments, preventing them from redistributing throughout your household.
How to Install an Electronic Air Cleaner?
You can install an electronic air cleaner in a few simple steps:
- Take the air cleaner cabinet and extract the pre-filter and both electronic cells
- Use a self-adhesive strip gasket around the air cleaner cabinet’s rim
- Bolt the air cleaner cabinet to your furnace’s side
- Put a sheet metal duct between the existing heat duct and the air cleaner. Use a flexible adapter to solidify the linkage between the two ducts
- Use short sheet metal screws to attach the duct to the air cleaner and furnace
- Close and seal the joints in the duct using foil-faced duct tape
- Place the pre-filter and electronic cells into the air cleaner cabinet, ensuring you orient them in the proper direction of airflow.
- Connect the electronic switch piece to the air cleaner cabinet; plug the power cord in.
How do you clean an electronic air filter?
You can use a simple and easy method to clean your electronic air filter.
- Run your bathtub with hot water until you fill it up
- Pour some gentle dish soap into your tub (about a 1/2 cup)
- Completely immerse the electronic air filter within the hot bath water
- Leave it for 20 minutes
- Extract the filter from the water and gently brush the grime from the cells
- Leave it to air dry (45 minutes to one hour should be sufficient)
- Place the electronic air filter back into your furnace
Which air cleaner is best for me?
There is no-size-fits-all regarding air cleaners; the type of air cleaner you select should be based on your specific needs. However, many air cleaners are available for you to choose from. And the best ways to determine which one is ideal for you include:
- Specify your airflow needs
- Distinguish your unique dust conditions
- Identify the air cleaner series that would be ideal for your airflow requirements
- Determine the air cleaner family
- Select the air intake parts that would help merge a typical air cleaner into your system
How long do electronic air cleaners last?
The answer to this question is based on how often your electronic air filter is used. However, as a general rule, you should clean the cells and prefilters once every 90 days (minimum). And more often, if you notice your cells getting dirtier faster than usual.
How do I know if my electronic air cleaner is working?
Close the access door, then switch on the system blower fan as well as the Electronic Air Cleaner. If a neon light illuminates, your Electronic Air Cleaner is functional.
