What You Need to Know About Your Furnace Air Filters

Executive Summary by Howard W. Kingsbridge

Replacing or cleaning furnace air filters is a simple enough task, but do you know how your air system’s filter really works to benefit you? Furnace air filters are used in both heating and air conditioning units to maintain proper air flow and to collect and deposit any unwanted air particles that you do not in the air you breathe. Air filters help to control not only the airflow filtration, but also play a part in controlling temperature within and without the system itself, allowing for cost saving, efficient and safe use.

Now that you know what your furnace filtration system does, you need to also understand the importance of cleaning your furnace filters on a regular basis. Furnace air filters are one of the simplest necessary household appliance maintenance jobs that you can undertake. Your filters must be changed (or cleaned if not disposable) at least once a month. Using an electrostatic furnace filter will save you even more money.

This is because these furnace air filters use electrostatic technology, in other words static electricity, to attract dust particles in the air. This technology results in less stress on your furnace and thus lower utility bills. In addition this type of filter is washable which will save you money on disposable filters. Make sure that your furnace filters are free of any kinds of microscopic bugs, viruses, pollen, dust, mites, etc., which could get lodged within the net of the filters.
